Mount Pleasant is located on South Carolina's central coast, just east of Charleston and North Charleston. It was founded in 1680 and is the home of Shem Creek (known for its shrimp boats and seafood restaurants) ... and the Patriots Point Naval and Maritime Museum. The State Ports Authority's Wando River terminal is also in Mount Pleasant.

 Mount Pleasant is also Charleston’s only access to the barrier island beaches of Sullivan’s Island and Isle of Palms. Isle of Palms caters to the visitor with ample public parking, a beach front county park, public facilities and a bustling front beach district with restaurants, snack bars, and shopping.
Although Sullivan’s Island is less intentional in its attraction of travelers, the beaches on this quaint island town still warrant a visit. Public facilities are not provided by the municipality but the main street does house shops and restaurants that service visitors and residents alike.

Goose Creek, South Carolina

The source of the name "Goose Creek" has been lost to history.  Some have theorized that the area was named after the gooseneck turns in the creek that extended off the Cooper River. Others say the name came from the prominence of geese in the waterway.   It is possible that the name has Native American origins. No matter the source, since the late 1600s this area of the low country has been known as Goose Creek.

Goose Creek is located just outside of North Charleston, only minutes from Northwoods Mall in North Charleston, and beautiful, historic Summerville.  The beach is only about 30 minutes away.  With the addition of new industry, Goose Creek is booming!  Over 2,500 new homes are being built in the area, along with new schools to service the growth.  Google has just begun construction of their new plant, bringing many new jobs to the area.  

The community of Crowfield Plantation has homes available from the low $100,000s to the high $500,000s.  The community has walking trails, lakes, golfing and country club, pools, tennis courts, and parks, and is a wonderful place to live.  New subdivisions are being built in the area such as Cane Bay, which will have a over 55 retirement community called Del Webb, schools, shopping and much more.  Foxbank Plantation is another new home development with ammenities such as restaurants, shopping, etc. There are many new and existing homes to choose from, so give us a call and put a professional to work for you finding your dream home.

Moncks Corner is the county seat of Berkeley County. Berkeley County is the largest in the state when both land and water (Lake Moultrie & Lake Marion) areas are counted.

Moncks Corner is also the home to Mepkin Abbey, home of Trappists Monks.  Mepkin Abbey was founded in 1949 in the Low Country of South Carolina by 29 monks coming from the Abbey of Gethsemani in Kentucky.  Passing down through various owners, Mepkin was purchased in 1936 by Henry R. Luce, the noted publisher-philanthropist, and his distinguished wife, the Hon. Clare Boothe Luce. They donated a large portion of their property to the Abbey of Gethsemani in 1949, for the purpose of founding a monastic community here.Shortly after the Luces purchased Mepkin in 1936, Mrs. Luce commissioned the famed landscape architect Loutrell Briggs to create the Mepkin Gardens. They were renovated in 1988 through the vision of Nancy Bryan Luce, wife of Henry Luce III. Thousands continue to visit us and to stroll through these Gardens each year.

Located nearby is also the famed Cypress Gardens.   Cypress Gardens offers visitors the rare experience of being one with nature as they explore the swamp on flat bottom boats or wander on meandering trails. Visit the Butterfly House, Aquarium, Reptile Center, Crocodile Isle & Aviary. See cypress knees and mirrored reflections of trees. Experience one of the world's most fascinating natural environments, and a place the whole family will enjoy!
