Hilton Head Island Information

Whether you're on or off the island, Hilton Head Island and the Lowcountry offer every kind of real estate opportunity that you could desire. From golf to boating, horseback riding to tennis, beach combing to dining, the area has long been recognized for its' recreational versatility and ethereal beauty.

Hilton Head Island is tucked neatly into the westernmost nook of South Carolina's coast along the Atlantic Ocean and just 5 miles north of Georgia. It is 50 miles west of the Gulf Stream and the combination of southern location and ocean exposure add up to an idyllic year-round climate. The average mid-day temperature in July and August is 89°, while the coldest mid-day average is in January at 59°.

The island is 42 square miles, 12 miles long and 5 miles at its' widest. While it is the second largest barrier island on the East Coast (next to Long Island, NY), real estate opportunities are finite. However, development on the mainland (Bluffton, the town of Beaufort and northern Beaufort County) has opened up a burgeoning market that brings with it significant diversity in prices and homes. The entire county is dissected by rivers, creeks, several sounds and protected wetlands, thus providing an array of aura and beauty unlike any place else.
