Mount Pleasant aka: Mt. Pleasant

Mount Pleasant is a town, but it functions, more or less, as a suburb of Charleston and North Charleston. It is also close to Sullivan’s Island and Isle of Palms, which makes it a nice place to live if you work in any of those places but want a quieter place to hang your hat (with easy access to the SI and IOP beaches). It’s tidy, quite, safe, and (the biggest downside) very conservative, as is most all of South Carolina. The Shem Creek area is worth checking out if you’re visiting Charleston (it’s just across the bridge from downtown).
