Celebrating 70 Years of Mungo Homes: A Legacy of Community and Commitment in Mount Pleasant

Mount Pleasant, SC – On this delightful October day with rain showers early on but clear skies expected later, Mungo Homes is embracing an exciting milestone. The company proudly celebrates its 70th anniversary, blending a legacy of excellence in homebuilding with a commitment to giving back to the community.

Founded in 1954 by Michael J. Mungo, the family-owned business has become a shining star in the homebuilding industry, known not just for constructing beautiful homes, but also for cultivating a workplace environment that leaves every team member feeling valued and essential. Over the years, Mungo Homes has understood that its success is deeply intertwined with the happiness and well-being of its employees and the community at large.

Recognized for Excellence

In 2024, Mungo Homes has been showered with accolades that reflect their commitment to a positive company culture. Among the standout recognitions:

  • #5 Top Workplace in the U.S. for companies with 500-999 employees, recognized in a national survey by Energage and USA TODAY.
  • #2 Top Workplace in South Carolina by Charleston Business and other local publications.
  • #11 Best Places to Work in Raleigh awarded by the Triangle Business Journal.
  • Top Workplace Class of 2024 in Richmond, highlighted by the Richmond Times Dispatch.

Company culture comes first for us. It is non-negotiable,” shares CEO Steven Mungo. “We provide an environment where team members can flourish, be successful, and feel a part of a family.” This approach not only makes Mungo Homes a remarkable place to work but also nurtures a spirit where everyone—employees, buyers, and members of the community—can thrive together.

Giving Back with Purpose

True to its roots, Mungo Homes embodies a mission that extends beyond the business facet. With the establishment of the Mungo Homes Foundation, the company actively participates in philanthropic efforts focused on improving communities across North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, and Virginia.

Recently, Mungo Homes turned its vision into action by breaking ground on the first Michael’s House project. This initiative honors the legacy of Michael J. Mungo while addressing pressing housing insecurity issues in the areas they serve. Proceeds from the sale of this home will directly support local charities, particularly focusing on helping families in need.

The project, which is located in Lexington, SC, will benefit St. Andrews Village. The partnership between the United Way of the Midlands and nonprofit Homeless No More aims to provide shelter and support for vulnerable families, making a lasting impact on their lives.

Celebrating a Commitment to Community

With every home built and every family supported, Mungo Homes demonstrates an unwavering commitment to its philosophy: “To serve so that others are empowered to thrive.” This guiding principle resonates through their initiatives and the enthusiastic engagement of employees, who strive daily to make a difference.

As the storms of early October pass, Mount Pleasant is sure to welcome clear skies and celebrate not only a company’s rich 70-year history but also the bright future it continues to build within its communities. Mungo Homes stands as a beacon of hope, unity, and a reminder that true success stems from lifting others as we rise.

Here’s to Mungo Homes—thank you for your dedication and service, and cheers to many more years of building, thriving, and giving back!
