Hilton Head Island is located off the South Carolina coast, just north of the Georgia border. The mild climate in the area of coastal Carolina is suitable for outdoor activities throughout the year. To the North lie Beaufort and Charleston, South Carolina, and Savannah lies just across the Georgia border to the South. These cities, with their charming historic districts, are popular for day (or weekend!) trips.

Size & Terrain

At 42 square miles, Hilton Head Island is the second largest barrier Island on the East Coast. Only Long Island has more land area. ¨ Hilton Head Island is approximately 12 miles long and up to 5 miles wide. The shape of the Island actually resembles a "shoe" with the "heel" on the North, where Port Royal Sound exits to the Atlantic Ocean. Broad, sandy beaches stretch for miles along the Atlantic Ocean on the Island's eastern shore. ¨ There are roughly 30,000 acres of land mass, with 28,000 acres of dry land and 2,000 or so of marsh. ¨ The Intracoastal Waterway (Skull Creek) and Mackay's Creek separate Hilton Head Island from the mainland. These are the two rivers that you cross when you come onto the Island from the mainland. ¨ Calibogue Sound separates the western shore from Daufuskie Island to the south. ¨ Broad Creek is a major tidal river that nearly divides Hilton Head Island into two "separate" islands. ¨ The Island's landscape is remarkable for the wealth of its natural beauty. ¨ Broad, sandy beaches slope gently to the shimmering waters of the Atlantic ¨ Lush plant life is also abundant, including live oaks draped with Spanish moss, rustling Palmsetto trees, wildflowers, and sea oats. ¨ Soft green grasses of the salt marsh are the breeding grounds for many familiar forms of sea life. From oysters and crabs to mighty game fish, most of our favorite seafood species begin life in the marsh. ¨ Rare birds, alligators, deer, sea turtles….Wildlife abounds on Hileon Head Island. It's a nature-lover's paradise!

Designed in Harmony with Nature

Development has done much to enhance the natural splendors of Hilton Head Island. The Island itself is the home of several large, planned communities, called "plantations" after the agricultural estates that once flourished here. Homes -- and even commercial buildings -- are designed to "blend" with the terrain. Nature preserves, bicycle paths, and open spaces provide access to scenic areas.

Town Officials have pledged to preserve the high quality of life that makes this Island such a great place to visit - and to live!

Demographics

There are as many different types of Islanders as there are ways to enjoy yourself here! Doctors, lawyers, service workers, tradesmen, retired executives of major corporations, etc. all call Hilton Head Island their home!

The Island's healthy economy has given rise to a substantial number of successful entrepreneurs. These are the people providing the amenities to sustain the Island's growth and creating the opportunities for it to thrive.

More than anything else, the people are what makes Hilton Head Island such a great place to live. Islanders are as warm and pleasant as the weather here! Many came for a vacation and then decided to stay for a lifetime…..And the same could happen to you!

Real Estate Tips
Working With An Agent >Real Estate Match Makers

When you list your house with a real estate agent who participates in the Multiple Listing Service (MLS), you get a lot of service for your money. Depending upon the MLS region, there may be hundreds of participating members.

The real estate agent who lists your home works to get it sold. This is done by marketing directly to home buyers, but an even more powerful tool is marketing your home to other agents who have buyers. Your real estate agent makes all the crucial information about your home available to the other members through the MLS, such as location, size, the number of rooms, the style of architecture, what personal property is included, and any other special features. The MLS description will also contain information about any special financing that might be available, showing instructions, and special needs you may have with respect to closing. It is a powerful tool for real estate matchmakers.
