publisher’s note www.NorthMountPleasant.com | www.ParkWestNeighborhoods.com | www.BrickyardHomes.com NMP - 5 N orth Mount Pleasant is the growth of Mount Pleasant. New home construction is brisk, building of new stores and ongoing road work is an everyday occurrence. These are signs of ongoing growth North Mount Pleasant is experiencing. When Snee Farm was the furthest neighborhood on Highway 17 North, there wasn’t a lot of discussion about growth beyond that neighborhood. Years later, Dunes West and Rivertowne led the growth in North Mount Pleasant, and, presently, here we are with changes surrounding us in all of Mount Pleasant. We hope North Mount Pleasant Magazine and www.NorthMountPleasant.com will help our readers stay on top of all the changes happening in our neck of the woods. Colin McCandless penned an article on the Clements Ferry corridor that will help readers understand the impact and completion of this increasingly busy road. The growth between the 526 exit at Clements Ferry Road and Highway 41 is like no other in the tri-country area. When families move to North Mount Pleasant, Daniel Island or Huger, finding the ideal housing, schooling and health care is, of course, a major priority. With this need in mind, we included an article on health care services and practices that focus on these areas. An example is MUSC Dr. Erika Blank, who practices at the MUSC Park West Primary Care office. She is board-certified in internal medicine as well as lifestyle medicine. She spent some time with one of our writers so you can take the time to get to know her. The same goes for Dr. Meghan Lynch, an OB-GYN who practices at the Roper St. Francis Mount Pleasant Hospital. Both these medical identities work hard to develop community programs to serve the growing North Mount Pleasant population. Right now, it’s about maintaining controlled growth. Knowing where to purchase your new home is important; likewise, it’s important for us to provide you with information that will help you find that prefect house in the right location at the right price. A must-read for housing info is our North Mount Pleasant Neighborhood Activity. For newcomers looking for their next home, it’s invaluable, and, for locals, it provides interesting knowledge into trends over the last few years. Don’t miss our Top Ten Homes sold in 2018 and the article on The Bridges at Seven Lakes. … all valuable real estate resources. North Mount Pleasant has a lot going on, including awesome golf courses such as RiverTowne, which is pictured on our cover. We hope you enjoy our annual edition of North Mount Pleasant Magazine . If you have a friend or family member who would like to know more about North Mount Pleasant, send them to www.NorthMountPleasant.com to read our digital version. Until next time, — BILL MACCHIO, Publisher
