Hi There!

My parents are in the process of looking into possibly purchasing a home here and I thought if anyone knew anything about it, it would be the good folks here on the Dis board.

Wondering if you know anything about it? The good, bad and ugly. any info would be great.

Thanks so much!
 
It's right outside of Hilton Head. Just down the road are shops (Target, Wal-Mart),and a set of outlet stores just before going onto Hilton Head. IT's been around for 10+ years.

The whole area is nice. Beufort County is one of the wealthiest counties in SC.....only because it included Hilton Head. However, there are lots of expensive home communities on the way to HH.

It is also about an hour or less from Savannah, GA.
 
Thank you Simba20!

If anyone else has any other info, that would be great too! Specifically any concerns that this place may have.

(Figment...thanks for your PM!)

Thanks so much!
 
My In-Laws have lived in Sun City HHI for 12 years now. They LOVE it and so do we!! When it first was built, it was so nice as it was a smaller and more intimate community, but now it truly is a CITY! There are soo many homes and families there now ranging from early retirement all the way up. It is a beautiful property with many amazing facilities.

The two golf courses are nice, reasonable and relatively easy to get play time on for residents. It used to be much of a golfing community but now there is everything you can think of!
Your parents should really want to be active and involved to be happy there. That's what pretty much everyone says.
Other activities that are big are tennis, swimming, bocce ball, pickle ball, softball, biking, on and on!
The clubhouses, restaurants and facilities are wonderful and wonderfully maintained. The pools are very nice, there are three outdoor and one indoor pools.

There is every type of club and activity outside of sports you can think of. Cards, reading, hobbies, travel, politics, state groups (where you're from) and tons and tons of parties all the time! Everyone seems like they are always entertaining.

It's taken until now to have pretty much everything you need outside the community to not have to travel onto the island. Hospital, Wal-Mart, Target, grocery stores, restaurants and other retail.
The location is wonderful, wonderful weather year-round and wonderful things to see and do closeby. Hilton Head itself is wonderful and Savannah, Beaufort, Charleston are all at your fingertips. A little further is Myrtle Beach, Jacksonville and even Atlanta.

We love visiting:yay:

Please feel free to ask any specific questions you may have specifically!
 

Hi!
We own a house on HHI, and try to keep up on what's happening in the area even when we're not there. Sun City seems to be a great area with lots to do and many clubs, etc. for the residents. I've been in one of the houses and the plan was great. Having said that, however, there has been a major...scandal is a little strong, but a real concern about the quality of the build of the houses, specifically the roof trusses. If they are serious about purchasing here be sure to check that out thoroughly.
 
My best friend's parents bought a house in Sun City there and overall have been very happy. What the pp said is definitely something to be looked into though---several articles about lawsuite and settlements with Pulte were in the local paper this past year.

The only other negative I can think of: traffic in Bluffton gets worse every year.

Is you family Catholic by any chance? St. Gregory the Great is close by and has a lot to offer too (huge congretation). I know this due to the involvement my friend's mother has. She loves it. HTH
 
Thank you all so much! I will be passing this info on to my parents for sure.

You guys are great!
