Mount Pleasant offers small-town charm surrounded by mountains
Located on U.S. Route 89 between the Wasatch and Sanpete mountains, Mount Pleasant is a small community close to outdoor recreation. “For the most part, you can get great views of the mountains,” says Stephanie Bagley, a Realtor at Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices with more than seven years of experience. “There’s lots of hiking, camping and hunting.” Initially settled by Mormon pioneers, the town maintains a close-knit vibe with several locally owned businesses on Main Street and annual events like the Hub City Days Rodeo. Mount Pleasant is also well known for Wasatch Academy, a highly rated, private boarding school in the center of town. Both Wasatch Academy and the Main Street district are listed on the National register of Historic Places.
Mountain views are abundant in Mount Pleasant.

Large lots, including some equestrian properties
Gridded streets in Mount Pleasant are typically wide and without sidewalks. Victorian and Craftsman cottages occupy the community’s center, while midcentury ranch-style homes and New Traditional bungalows make up the rest of the inventory. Lot sizes usually start at a quarter-acre, and many properties around the outskirts of the community have small hobby farms or horse stables. “It’s very cost-effective,” Bagley says. “There’s even special USDA loans that can be used in this area for rural housing.” Homes in Mount Pleasant, which don’t go on the market often, then sell after an average of 84 days. According to a Homes.com calculation, which uses a combination of estimated data, the average home value in the community was about $400,000 in mid-2025. The area is under moderate risk of wildfires, according to the Utah Division of Forestry, Fire & State Lands. The Mount Pleasant Fire Department serves the community.

Across the street from the rec center, the Mount Pleasant City Aquatic Center’s indoor pool is open year-round.

A small downtown district lines a few blocks of Main Street, with local shops like Farmers Floral and restaurants like Rodger’s Dairy Freeze, which serves burgers and milkshakes.
