When people think of Hilton Head, one of the top vacation destinations on the coast, naturally beautiful beaches and endless sunny days come to mind. Folks might not be aware that South Carolina also has one of the lowest per capita tax rates in the country. This trifecta makes the area the best place to live in South Carolina at retirement. 

Sun City Hilton Head by Del Webb has been the leader in Sun City retirement communities in the Southeast. Established back in the mid 1990’s, the 55+ community spreads across 5,000 acres and is a quick 12 mile ride to the most beautiful Hilton Head beaches. The large gated community has approximately 7,700 homes built to date of the 8,600 planned. Choosing active adult communities comes with many benefits such as being surrounded by like-minded people, having a large variety of wellness amenities to keep us active, a place designed around low maintenance living to allow aging retirees to maintain their independence plus these type of communities are typically located in the most beautiful places to retire in America.

At Sun City Hilton Head this couldn’t be more true. The Bluffton SC real estate development has over 150 social clubs, the largest number we’ve seen. Arts and crafts, performing arts, sporting clubs, and resident community groups such as AARP, Lions Club and so on. An endless supply of places to meet new friends and have fun. The resort-style community is golf cart and pet friendly.

Another perk about living at Sun City Hilton Head is that’s located inland providing peace of mind as it relates to flood zones and hurricanes. Retirees can fill their days with everything they ever dreamed of and enjoy living in their dream home. Del Webb is a quality home builder. Their new homes are energy efficient, low maintenance and affordable.
