Mount Pleasant balances wide-open country living with quick access to city conveniences, just east of Byhalia and a straight drive to Memphis. Residents enjoy a small-community pace, yet can reach services in Holly Springs and across Marshall County in minutes, via U.S. 72 and I‑269 for straightforward regional travel.
Outdoors enthusiasts have a lot to explore. The towering pines and quiet lakes of the Holly Springs National Forest invite hiking and picnics. Nearby Wall Doxey State Park offers wooded trails and a spring-fed lake, and the Chewalla Lake Recreation Area is popular for swimming and camping. Nature lovers flock to the Strawberry Plains Audubon Center for birding and seasonal events, while golfers can book a tee time at Kirkwood National’s rolling fairways.
Daily needs are met in nearby towns, with larger retail and care close by; for example, Methodist Olive Branch Hospital and flights at Memphis International Airport are an easy drive. Students attend public schools in the Marshall County district, with respected athletics and career-tech programs, and Northwest Mississippi Community College supports continuing education.
Whether you’re moving for acreage, an easy commute, or a quieter address, Mount Pleasant rewards a thoughtful search. When it’s time to buy or sell, Agent Pronto can quickly connect you with a top local real estate agent who knows the area.
