Mount Pleasant Magazine March/April 2024

11 www.ReadMPM.com | www.MountPleasantMagazine.com | www.MountPleasantPodcast.com There’s a long list of reasons why people love calling Mount Pleasant home. The list starts with location, location, location. We are also fortunate to have some of the best schools in the state. In this issue, our illustrious editor Zach Giroux caught up with Anita Huggins, the new Charleston County School District superintendent, who also calls Mount Pleasant home. Along with location and schools, people love living in Mount Pleasant because of the many neighborhoods featuring a range of lifestyles. This is one of the reasons I enjoy publishing our annual Beautiful Homes edition. Readers can explore Mount Pleasant’s neighborhoods by flipping through our print or digital issue. By the time you finish perusing these pages it will become obvious why Mount Pleasant neighborhoods are special. For me, another highlight of publishing this issue is our neighborhood Top Ten list. We’ve found that our readers enjoy looking through our Top Ten Homes Sold list in each issue. This is the only issue during which we can publish end of year results from the previous year — in this case 2023. Read about the 2023 Top Ten neighborhoods in our Dwellings section, beginning on Page 110. Our readers can also visit www.TopTenHomesSold.com to find 20-plus neighborhoods with sales that, in some cases, date back to 2017. Additionally, I wanted to give a shout out to our insurance sponsor of this rich data, Schirmer Insurance Group. It’s always fun to look back; some would say it’s a way for us to see future real estate prices per neighborhood. Thanks for spending time with us.
