On the horizon. The big infrastructure story is Highway 41: Town Council kept municipal consent 5-4 in July 2026 for Charleston County’s ~$245M 4-3-4 widening, with permits advancing and groundbreaking pointed at early 2027. On the retail side, Belle Hall is filling in with Eggs Up Grill, Decks & Docks, and Fly Dance Fitness, plus a Coastal Cupboard expansion. Paris Baguette and Let’s Mochi are already open. At Towne Centre, Revolving Sushi Kingdom is still coming under the Hyatt Place. See it on Charleston Pulse →

Start the conversationReady to list your Mount Pleasant home?
Mount Pleasant is my home market. I live and work here, which means I am tracking what is actually happening in I’On, the Old Village, Snee Farm, Carolina Park, and every neighborhood in between, not just what a national portal shows you. Pricing, timing, and how a home is positioned are the difference between a clean sale and a listing that sits.
- Neighborhood-specific pricing strategy, not a citywide average
- Preparation and staging guidance before the first showing
- Marketing to the military relocation and PCS buyer pool I already work with

How do I sell my home in Mount Pleasant SC?
Start with a neighborhood-specific home valuation rather than a generic online estimate.
