Brickyard Plantation, Mount Pleasant

photo of the Brickyard Plantation entrance, Mount Pleasant, SC Mount Pleasant's Brickyard Plantation was built on the site of a working brick plantation and has evolved into a stunning community of neighborhoods. By the time construction began, only a few ruins remained of the old plantation, but, if you look carefully, you can still see traces of the past. An eight-acre lake marks the area where the material for bricks was dug out.

The visually impressive entrance to Brickyard Plantation hints at the community's good design and well laid-out development. Extensive landscaping only adds to the appeal certainly maintaining a visual quality that preserves real estate property value.

Because Mount Pleasant is growing so fast, the area now has less than three months of residential real estate inventory, and Brickyard Plantation is no exception.
