Rent vs buy in Mount Pleasant -what makes sense?
So, I'm a remote worker and Rent is about $870/month for a decent place. With a population of 21,420, Mount Pleasant is a small town. You can expect to pay around $870 for rent here. The median home value here is around $168,700, which is actually reasonable. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable. The food scene here is surprisingly good. The weather takes some getting used to. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much.
Pros:
- Low taxes
- Easy commute
- Lots of new development
- Good healthcare facilities
- Strong sense of community
Cons:
- Traffic can be terrible
- Hot summers
- Boring for young people
- Mosquitoes and humidity
- Homelessness issues downtown
It's changing fast -some good, some not so much. The suburbs are where most families end up. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. I'd say it's better for families than young singles. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable.
