From the Town of Mt.Pleasant General Information Brochure.

A recent newspaper article ranked Mt. Pleasant as one of the three wealthiest household incomes in the Charleston area with an average household income of greater than $70,000.   East of the Cooper, or also known as the East Cooper area, which encompasses Mt. Pleasant, is and area of many newcomers.  Many people purchase second homes or retirement homes because of the beautiful South Carolina weather in Mt Pleasant, and the easy acess to the beaches of Isle of Palms and Sullivans Island.  As the information brochure says, the new Isle of Palms connector allows this easy access.  Being a relative newcomer to the area myself, the drive is quite gorgeous.  The beaches at the Isle Of Palms and Sullivans Island offer the peace and tranquility for a long quiet walk with sound of the ocean and the feel of the warm breeze blowing upon you.  Take your dog for a walk and forget about the world.  Just don't forget your leash...well the dog's leash anyway.
