Mount Pleasant Apartments for Rent

Moving to Mount Pleasant

This affluent suburb of Charleston, South Carolina, sits alongside the Atlantic Ocean, and boy is it pretty. If this city isn’t like something you've seen in a painting, well then we submit that you've never seen a decent painting. Though it is a great town to call home, Mount Pleasant is no stranger to hurricanes. It was hit by Hurricane Hugo back in 1989. The city experienced a big surge in growth right after the storm surge subsided and now it’s back and better than ever.

Welcome to Mount Pleasant

If you’ve never seen streets lined with ancient, majestic live oak trees, you’re in for a real treat in Mount Pleasant because this town has lots of them. Live oaks are just one of many charming features of this Southern, ocean side community.

Mount Pleasant is an upscale city in Charleston County, South Carolina. It was once occupied by the Sewee tribe of Native Americans. After them came the English, Spanish, and French (who frequently battled it out over this pleasant spot of land). Needless to say, this part of the country has weathered the storms of both slavery and, well, storms over the course of its long and tumultuous history. And though the effects of both have left their mark on Mount Pleasant (some more subtly than others) the future is looking bright.

How, you ask? Well, Mount Pleasant has a median income that’s above average for both the state and the nation. In addition, its police force has been recognized by the Commission for Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agencies for its outstanding execution of public safety. Its neighborhoods gleam with the polish of residents that care, and you'll probably never see a landscape that’s quite this beautiful.

This town has so much to offer; we recommend that you lock down a new apartment before someone else does. But if you're still on the white picket fence about moving here, take a gander at this video tour and see if it doesn't convince you to make the move.

Things to Do in Mount Pleasant

One of Mount Pleasant's best attractions is, ironically, the very thing that will take you out of the city: the cruise ship. Cruises originating in Mount Pleasant head out to island destinations in the Caribbean and beyond, taking smiling, sun-visor-wearing tourists with them. If you need to take a vacation, it couldn’t be easier to get away!

As for shopping and dining (two things that you’ll do on a far more regular basis than cruise to the Caribbean), you’ll get your fill in Mount Pleasant, as these two can attest. In town, you can enjoy a smorgasbord of boutique shops and art galleries (where you can, no doubt, score visually stunning but largely impractical things like glass whales—you know what we're talking about). As for your dining options, your stomach will be excited to learn that Mount Pleasant is a force to be reckoned with when it comes to food. There are over 260 restaurants in town! If you’re still on the fence, maybe looking at a few of the apartment listings below will help you decide to make the move.
