Towering oaks offer a town-within-a-town character to Mount Pleasant’s old village district. Grand piazzas and gardens nestle quietly among the shaded lanes where bicycling and walking are more prevalent than driving. Within a few blocks of any of the stately homes in the old village are marshfront and boat with distant island views.
For those homes located near the water in the few blocks where people just love to walk down the streets, the name of that petite neighborhood is Old Village Landing.
Harbour Watch is a small neighborhood found right off the Ravenel Bridge on the Ashley River. Views now include the new Ravenel Bridge as well as new The Tides condo buildings sitting grandly riverside. Many miss this neighborhood as it is hidden behind several other housing areas. Check your map.

RIVER'S REACH AT REMLEY'S POINT
One of my personal favorite places in the city, this secluded upscale neighborhood has water access within the development as well as from the city boat dock down the street. Fabulous custom homes and views.
An older subdivision with winding roads encircling within that speaks to golfers who want to own their own small unpretentious course located on the premises. Although the course is now open to outside membership, there is something about knowing that you can always get a tee time.
Possibly the one of the most important projects in the history of Mount Pleasant, the Memorial Waterfront Park will embrace key features that will transform the base of the Ravenel Bridge into a beacon of community offerings ranging from festivals and special events to fishing, walking, and bicycling activities.
The Town of Mount Pleasant’s vision for the park is to provide a high quality environment to create a unique “sense of place” for park visitors. Weaving community history with a vibrant sense of cultural identity, sweetgrass preservation and wetland restoration, is at the heart of the Town’s efforts. To do so, the Town will incorporate pedestrian and bicycle circulation throughout the park and to adjacent areas like Patriots Point and Mathis Ferry Road. Council will consider private vendor activities such as food concessions, bike rentals and even kayaking.
One key feature of the park will be a 1,200 ft public fishing and observation pier using the former structure of the Pearman Bridge and providing superlative views of the cable stayed portion of the Ravenel Bridge. Waterfront access will provide residents and visitors with unparalleled access to the most scenic body of water in the southeast.
