Coastal suburban living close to Downtown Charleston

Six Mile is unique in Mount Pleasant for being split by the 28-acre site of the Charles Pinckney National Historic Site. This ample green space has hiking trails and historic outbuildings and offers educational tours on its land, a combination of graded farmland and tidal estuary. But perhaps most importantly to Six Mile residents, the park is protected by the National Park Service, which will keep Six Mile greener and less developed than many other neighborhoods in Mount Pleasant.
