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.

Indoor and outdoor sports facilities, camping in the Sanpete Mountains
Mount Pleasant City Park is the central gathering spot in the area. The park has several playgrounds and a nine-hole disc golf course. The park also hosts baseball and T-ball youth sports leagues, and the Mount Pleasant Recreation Center has fitness classes and an indoor basketball court. Across the street from the rec center, the Mount Pleasant City Aquatic Center’s indoor pool is open year-round. Farther east, in the foothills of the Sanpete Mountains, there are several campgrounds, including Power Plant Park, and miles of trails for off-roading through the Arapeen OHV Trail System.
The Mount Pleasant Recreation Center offers fitness classes and basketball courts.

The C-plus-rated North Sanpete High offers more than 30 career technology education pathways, including agricultural mechanics, welding, web development and health science. Mount Pleasant is also home to the A-rated Wasatch Academy, Utah’s only college preparatory boarding school and the oldest continually operating secondary school in the state. The academy is known for its equestrian and snow sports programs, as well as a robust selection of engineering, robotics and rocketry courses.

Local restaurants, markets and a drive-in movie theater
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. Other locally owned favorites include casual eatery La Casa Del Fogon Mexican Grill. At the community's north end, Basin Drive-In Theatre has limited showings of new releases throughout the week. Terrel’s Market is the main grocery and retail option. Although there aren’t many major retailers nearby, Walmart is about 15 miles away in Ephraim.
Residents frequent Terrel’s Market for their grocery and retail needs.
