Our Story

Known for its stately live oaks and historic houses, the roots of the Old Village of Mount Pleasant stretch back to the 18th century. Originally the location of summer homes for wealthy Charlestonians, one of the area’s oldest waterfront communities is now a year-round address for a mix of retirees, young families, and professionals.

Our Story

The Shopping District

Surrounded by the natural beauty of the neighborhood, the small-town main street is a center for local events and home to vibrant independent businesses that provide a welcome alternative to the monotony of 21st-century chains and big-box shopping.

Come Visit

Bounded by the vistas of Charleston Harbor and the lively restaurants and boats on Shem Creek, the Old Village is a pocket of serenity and slow beauty in a busy world.
