The suburb is mainly residential, with weatherboard cottages, mid-century bungalows and recent renovations on modest blocks, so streets mix original character and updated homes. Nearby Woonona village provides shops and cafes, while the Princes Highway together with Woonona and Bellambi stations link to Wollongong and the south coast.

With 1,397 residents, Mount Pleasant is a suburb of families with high home ownership, 94.3% of dwellings are owner-occupied. Local schooling includes Pleasant Heights Public School, and nearby services include Wollongong Hospital and the University of Wollongong.
