Hobcaw Creek Plantation is the ideal neighborhood for those seeking the ‘ ideal ‘ neighborhood: family oriented, safe, manicured and lush mature vegetation.
The majority of homes in this very desirable neighborhood are large and upscale. Most of the homes in Hobcaw Creek were built during the 1990s.
At the back of Hobcaw Creek, you’ll find the largest homes, many with private docks. Hobcaw Creek Plantation is adjacent to some of Mt Pleasant’s premier shopping and dining options. At any moment, there are only a few homes for sale in Hobcaw. It’s that desired.
Homes in the neighborhood average between 3,000 and 4,500 square feet with prices generally starting in the $450,000 range. The neighborhood’s clubhouse features tennis courts, a children’s playground and a swimming pool. Residents also have access to a community dock and boat landing.
Rebecca and I had the wonderful pleasure of participating with our fellow Rotarians in Happy Feet, an outstanding Rotary project which provides new tennis shoes to disadvantaged children in the Mt Pleasant, SC area.
We distributed 120 pairs of shoes to 120 area children who all had the cutest of appreciative smiles!
Happy Feet: Another great Rotarian project
Rotary Mt Pleasant organized the effort and again proves the worth of this worldwide organization which single handedly has virtually wiped Polio out around the world.
Thanks to Lou Mello for his great management of Happy Feet.
A few nights ago, Edward and I attended another public meeting to discuss the Town of Mt. Pleasant’s Comprehensive Plan. The plan is still in an early stage, the ideal time for those of us who choose to be an active part of our city to become involved.
We’ve joined a citizen’s committee formed to provide ongoing direct input to the city and the consultant. Mt Pleasant is better off with all of us contributing and focused on its future.
Among the conditions presented and discussed was that growth in Mt. Pleasant has been significant over the last decade but is slowing, while traffic and congestion are increasing.
This was the first of many such meetings that will take place before the plan is finalized in July of 2009. The planning team includes staff from the Town of Mt Pleasant Planning and Development Department and an Atlanta based consulting firm named EDAW. www.edaw.com
I encourage you to attend these meetings whenever possible. The option is to put all input and decisions into the hands of others.
At the meeting, the concept of “sustainability” was introduced as a foundation for future growth in Mt Pleasant. Sustainability means “meeting the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs”. We all have the responsibility to preserve and protect our beautiful area for our children and grandchildren.
Going forward, other important government responsibilities addressed were:
* Insure fiscal soundness
* Serve the entire community
* Guarantee environmental protection
You can make a difference. Important decisions are being made and your insight, experience and interests are needed.
