Hilton Head Real Estate While new neighborhoods and communities have been growing in numbers for the past two decades, the landscape on Hilton Head remains green and pristine. The well-planned neighborhood developments or plantations as they are called, provide residents in Hilton Head with well-maintained, often gated communities each designed to offer the flavor of southern charm while highlighting and preserving the beauty of the surrounding landscape. Rather than completely clearing the land to develop a neighborhood as is often the case in breaking ground for a new development, indigenous trees, shrubbery and land formation have been preserved in the building process as many neighborhoods utilize the natural landscape, local waterways and beaches with minimal interference to the natural beauty. Consequently, many neighborhood developments in Hilton Head offer a flavor that is distinctively southern, not only in the quality construction of the homes and the layout of plantations that lends a certain feel of privacy, but in the care taken in the artful utilization of the countryside as well.
