Mount Pleasant is the backbone of Charleston’s luxury residential market — combining proximity to Downtown with waterfront access, established neighborhoods, and thoughtful new construction. From historic Old Village homes overlooking Charleston Harbor to golf communities like Dunes West and Rivertowne, Mount Pleasant offers a range of lifestyle options without sacrificing convenience or long-term value.
Buyers are drawn to Mount Pleasant for its school systems, family-friendly design, marina access, and access to Sullivan’s Island and Isle of Palms. The area appeals to both full-time residents and second-home buyers who want space, quality construction, and access to Charleston’s core.
The Mount Pleasant real estate market remains one of the strongest in the Lowcountry. Homes that are updated, priced properly, and positioned well consistently outperform, while dated properties require far more aggressive pricing to move. Waterfront properties and homes in premier neighborhoods continue to hold value due to limited buildable land and ongoing in-migration.
Whether you’re considering a custom build, a waterfront purchase, or selling an existing home, success in Mount Pleasant comes down to local market knowledge and proper strategy. Knowing how streets, zoning, and neighborhood dynamics influence value is key to navigating this market effectively.
