The Old Village in Mount Pleasant is a quiet and peaceful neighborhood filled with grand old oak trees and a treasure of beautiful homes. Located on the Charleston Harbor, the Old Village is the closest Mount Pleasant has to a downtown although a new downtown is planned near the Mount Pleasant Town Center.

Pitt Street is the heart of activity in the Old Village. Make sure to stop in the Pitt Street Pharmacy for an ice cream before taking a walk or riding your bike on the old Pitt Street Bridge along the waterfront.

A quaint 6 room inn and fine dining is available at the Old Village Post House in a beautfully restored building dating from the 1800’s. Owned and operated by the Maverick Group, who also have two of my favorite restaurants in the Charleston area, SNOB (Slightly North Of Broad) and High Cotton on East Bay in Historic Downtown Charleston.
