The most authentic neighborhood outside the peninsula, waterfront, walkable, and chronically undersupplied.

Old Village is the original settlement of Mount Pleasant, predating the planned developments by centuries: pre-Civil War cottages and custom waterfront estates, the pedestrian Pitt Street Bridge, a Saturday farmers market, and harbor views from Alhambra Hall. It pairs historic character and water views with a safer flood profile than the peninsula or the barrier islands, ten minutes from downtown. Homes run roughly $900K to $3.5M-plus, with waterfront higher, against a Mount Pleasant median far below that.
Two other Mount Pleasant addresses round out the picture. Dunes West, the area's only twenty-four-hour guarded golf community, offers an Arthur Hills course and the broadest luxury inventory, with strong resale liquidity. Hobcaw Creek Plantation is the discreet, low-density choice for boaters who want deepwater docks and harbor access. Across all three, the location is the asset: bridge access to downtown, the Sullivan's Island beaches close by, and value that holds.
The Old Village: a pharmacy counter, a trolley causeway, and a tavern reborn.
Walk Pitt Street to the old trolley bridge, the village's promenade into the marsh, with Sullivan's Island across the water.
Pitt Street Pharmacy, operating since 1937: grilled pimento cheese and a hand-spun milkshake at the fountain. Some institutions survive because they should.
Alhambra Hall's waterfront lawn for the harbor view, or ten minutes to Sullivan's for the beach hours.
Post House on Pitt Street, the coastal tavern now under Indigo Road's care, with seven rooms upstairs for visiting family.
Post House brunch, then Patriots Point Links across the bridge approach, public golf with the harbor and Fort Sumter as the backdrop.
Inventory inside these gates moves quietly, and the best of it often trades before it is broadly marketed. Ask us what is available in the Old Village this week, including what has not hit the portals.
