Bluffton, South Carolina has quickly become one of the fastest growing cities in the southern United States. One of the main factors contributing to Bluffton's growth is its ideal proximity to Hilton Head Island. Every visitor that come onto Hilton Head Island via car, bus or truck has to drive through Bluffton. Since the average priced home on Hilton Head is over a half a million dollars, many investors have looked to Bluffton, South Carolina. The future for Bluffton looks promising as more commercial projects get approved each month. New schools, roads and residential developments continue to bring new buyers everyday.
Dozens of off-island plantation communities surround Hilton Head Island in neighboring Bluffton, Okatie, and Beaufort. While they still offer the privacy and luxury of plantation living, off-island residential communities can be less expensive and frequently alot more space per acreage per lot than other Hilton Head Island plantation homesites.
Condos, homes, cottages, vacation rentals, and for-sale homesites are all available. Views include salt marshes, lagoons, lakes, and golf courses or the nearby Okatie, May, and Colleton rivers. Some townhomes and condominiums can be purchased for as low as $100,000 and new single-family homes begin around $150,000 (price minimums unheard of on the Island). Homesites may sell for $70,000, and can include up to five acres of land as well as shaded, well-manicured landscaping similar to that of Island plantations.
The close proximity to Hilton Head Island’s amenities is part of the package with off-island living. More, these communities are all closer to the busier Savannah, GA, Beaufort, SC, and Charleston, SC areas. And though Island schools are few, many more are located in Bluffton, Beaufort, and Okatie. Intimate, secluded home and family-dense neighborhoods combine to offer both privacy and social activities for these affordable yet luxurious areas.
