Best things about Mount Pleasant that nobody talks about

As a 1-year resident, here are some things about Mount Pleasant that don't make it into the guides:

1. The local music scene is really vibrant
2. Several hidden gem restaurants that rival big city food
3. The local craft beer scene is legit

Happy to answer questions.

Rent tip: look for places in January-February. Prices drop and there's more availability.

I've lived in Northside for 10 years and it's a hidden gem honestly.
