"Everybody loves Mount Pleasant"
"Everybody loves Mount Pleasant," says Mary Stanley, an Associate Realtor with Charleston's RE/MAX Southern Shores. It was true in the 18th century when well-heeled Charlestonians began building summer homes on the breezy peninsula by the Charleston Harbor, and it's true now. Darrell Creek is one of the newer areas of what one might call Mount Pleasant's "northward expansion." There's nary an 18th-century home left, but what's replaced them are arguably better: near-identical 21st-century recreations of those Charleston-style Adam and Georgian Colonials and Classical and Greek Revivals. With beautiful homes, an excellent school district and access to Downtown Charleston and some of the loveliest beaches in the area, it's no wonder Mount Pleasant is in demand.

21st-century recreations of Charleston-style colonial homes
Darrell Creek is "located a bit further out in north Mount Pleasant, which is booming right now with tons of new shops and restaurants opening up," says Danielle Traverse, Realtor with Carolina One Real Estate. "While it still provides easy access to all those things, most of the lots are a bit larger than the rest of the area, so it's perfect for people who enjoy a little bit of extra elbow room." Homeowners here delight in the suburban solitude, with an assortment of homes sitting on densely wooded lots ranging from half an acre to 1.5 acres along streets with new sidewalks shaded by eastern white pines and Palmetto palms. "You're not going to find a home there for under $800,000," Traverse says. "With the market as it stands right now, things continue to appreciate in that area." Prices range from there up to $2 million for palatial estates with waterfront views of the Wando River. "Some homes," says Andrea Sullivan, a local Realtor with Berkshire Hathaway, "have direct access to the creek or the river, and you can keep your boat in back, depending on the tide."

River, creek, ocean
Residents with waterside property may paddleboard, kayak, go fishing or crabbing right outside their backyards, but those without will need to head to Highway 17, which runs through Mount Pleasant, parallel to the Atlantic. From there, drivers – or cyclists or golf cart drivers – may reach the Wando River and the beaches of Isle of Palms on access roads. The neighborhood pool and community cabana, however, are for everyone. "Darrell Creek has also been recently connected to the Carolina Park neighborhood," says Danielle Traverse, so residents may partake of Carolina Park's upscale amenities. One of these is the small dog park and nature trail of Park West Masonborough Park. Another is the Carolina Park Soccer Fields. Mary Stanley recommends the Dunes West Golf and River Club, 1.5 miles west of Darrell Creek. The Isle of Palms Connector is 4 miles west on Highway 17 from the neighborhood and leads 3 miles to some of the best beaches on the East Coast.

A busy Highway 17
Plane sightings are rare, and there is no noticeable noise from the nearby private Mount Pleasant Regional Airport, where some residents keep private planes. Highway 17 leads to all major freeways, but Mary Stanley warns that traffic has become heavy as new residents move to Mount Pleasant.
