Location is key when buying a home for any chapter in life - especially for retirees living in Hilton Head. However, with a large Baby Boomer population migrating to this area, this doesn’t mean all folks are choosing age restricted retirement gated communities. Coastal South Carolina is unquestionably a hot spot with retirees because of the large amount of waterfront properties, variety of private golf clubs, and the island’s beautiful beaches. Although retirees are often downsizing, this doesn’t mean they are sacrificing quality or amenities when choosing where to live.
