Part One: Guide to Mount Pleasant, SC's Best Waterfront Neighborhoods

Dec 17, 2020

Mount Pleasant, SC is located just over the famous Ravenel Bridge from Charleston, bordering Charleston Harbor and multiple tidal creeks and marshes. Whether you're looking for just views with salty breezes or for parking your boat on deep water, Mount Pleasant has a neighborhood for you!

Old Village

The most sought-after neighborhood is Old Village, the oldest waterfront neighborhood in Mount Pleasant. Many of the homes in Old Village date back to the 1700s and 1800s like the Hibben House and neighboring waterfront estates which feature unobstructed water views as far as the eye can see. From your own backyard you can catch glimpses of the downtown skyline and Fort Sumter. In other areas of this neighborhood, like Old Village landing, you get to enjoy the stunning sunsets overlooking Sullivan's

Island.

This well-established community is loved by locals who enjoy the preserved traditional Southern charm feel with the mossy oak trees, spacious parks at Alhambra Hall, and Pitt Street Bridge overlooking

Charleston Harbor and Shem Creek. The most notable landmarks in Old Village are on Pitt Street. You may also catch a few glimpses of these landmarks on the Netflix series Outer Banks , such as the famous Pitt Street Pharmacy, where you can grab an old-fashioned fountain soda and the newly renovated Post House Coastal Tavern and Post House Inn with seven cozy rooms with nostalgic vintage feel of this historical building living in old villages has it all.

Cooper Estates

Next up is Cooper Estates, right across the street from the lively shem creek restaurants. This well-established historic neighborhood is known for large homes on large waterfront lots. If you happen to find a home that's not on the water you still have access to the community boat landing and dock right on Shem Creek, or hop on over to Shem Creek Marina where you can have the conveniences of dry dock storage. Boat enthusiasts will definitely love this neighborhood!

Bayview Acres

Another one of the original Mount Pleasant neighborhoods is Bayview acres. Want to go for a run over the Ravenel Bridge or maybe golf at Patriots Point Links? This community is walking distance to both! It is also walkable to Shem Creek, TraderJoe's, and coffee shops. A majority of the homes on Bayview Drive offer deep water or tidal creek property but all residents have a neighborhood boat ramp as well as a play park and tennis courts.
