Real Estate on Hilton Head Island Hilton Head, South Carolina is a most desirable destination spot on the east coast due to its near perfect balmy weather, mild winters, 12 miles of sugar sanded beaches, and prime location just 45 miles north of Savannah, Georgia and little over and hours drive from world famous historic Charleston, South Carolina. What was once a retirement or vacation hideaway has matured into 42.06 square miles of active and bustling family community neighborhoods and amenities. With two airports, hotels and resorts aplenty for not only leisure but also for business high-rollers, Hilton Head has become a highly attractive option for full time residential living for those who desire to live the summer home dream, yet still keep a finger on the pulse of finance and business.
For those with a need for a particular lifestyle and level of luxury, privacy and security, Hilton Head offers some of the most exclusive gated communities to suit those requirements. Having 11 such communities that have particular amenities such as beach front, water view or proximity to world class golfing, one need only pick the neighborhood to suit an individual desire. These area localities, often referred to as plantations are: Hilton Head Plantation, Sea Pines Resort, Indigo Run, Long Cove Club, Palmetto Dunes, Palmetto Hall, Port Royal Plantation, Shipyard Plantation, Spanish Wells, Windmill Harbour, and Wexford Plantation. One need only ask for an area by name to discover its individual amenities.
While offering exclusivity of the gated communities, Hilton Head also has open communities, some of which are, Forest Beach areas, Folly Field or Singleton Beach each with the benefits of a residential location on the island: eight public access points to the beaches, access to the links, restaurants, boating, shopping, social events and no less than 20 public parks for recreation but at a more affordable real estate price point for those who enjoy island living or perhaps who provide a service or have set up shop with an entrepreneurial endeavor but who choose other than the gated communities.
The neighboring areas, Bluffton and its annexation, Palmetto Bluff located just adjacent to the much larger Hilton Head Island also offer a wide range of residences as an affordable alternative to the Hilton Head listings.
