About Mt. Pleasant

Boasting a vibrant community with history, charm and breath-taking views, Mt. Pleasant is located just across the Ravenel Bridge from downtown Charleston. Once accessible only via daily ferries from the peninsula, this coastal city with its protected harbor, natural beauty and perfect climate is one of the best places to live in the nation. Mt. Pleasant has maintained its "small town" feeling, despite tremendous growth in recent years.

Mt. Pleasant Towne Centre, an urban outdoor mall just four miles from The Legends, is a shopping and dining destination for both residents and visitors. Major national retailers, in addition to upscale boutiques, provide a diverse shopping experience...something for everyone! For some "local flavor" visit the quaint Shem Creek and view area shrimpers hauling in their catch of the day. If an afternoon at the beach is on your agenda, pack your tote and head to the The Isle of Palms with family or friends, just minutes from your home at The Legends. Or perhaps better yet, join your buddies for a round of golf at the 18 hole Rees Jones designed golf course at Charleston National Country Club, adjacent to our community. Outdoor activities abound in sunny South Carolina...just choose your pleasure!

Historic Charleston

Charleston, South Carolina is a place where history and heritage are a part of everyday life. Inside a city that seems untouched by the ravages of time and nature is a 300-year-old culture of Europeans and Africans. For more than three centuries, Charleston has survived wars, fires, earthquakes and hurricanes - and despite it all, retained both her beauty and her dignity.

Today Charleston stands as a model of historic preservation, restoration and artistic expression. The Old and Historic District, which traces its origins to the 1670s, contains some 3000 historic buildings. This is no accident. Instead, it is the result of ongoing, dedicated efforts of people working together to preserve Charleston's distinctive character.
