MOUNT PLEASANT: THE VILLAGE IN TH “The most competitive neighborhood housing market in the city.” - UrbanTurf “There was a time when it was a little bit of a secret,” explains Realtor Mandy Mills, who has lived in Mount Pleasant for nearly a decade and has watched the increase in demand first hand. “But there’s so much to love here – a rich history, access to parks and downtown, a close-knit community that is rallying around its local schools, and new, independent businesses.” Flying Fish Coffee & Tea, Beau Thai, and the upcoming Goodall’s Organic Bistro are relative newcomers to an already healthy stock of local retailers. Emily Friedberg and Jeanlouise Conaway opened Each Peach Market on Mount Pleasant Street last summer. “We chose the location because it is such a community-oriented neighborhood,” says Friedberg.
