Sun City Hilton Head is the largest 55-plus, active adult community in the Lowcountry. Within its nearly 6,000 acres comes an impressive list of amenities that keep residents busy year-round. With fitness facilities and golf courses, racquetball courts and specialized clubs, folks are as busy as they want to be. Local Realtor Kevin Lombard says it’s all up to the resident. “That’s the beauty of Sun City. It’s your own special setting that can be as big or small as you want it,” Lombard says. He lives in Sun City and has sold homes for nearly five years with Weichert Realtors Coastal Properties. “You can stick to your small group of close friends or attend a 900-person outdoor concert.” Because there’s so much to do, folks are outside a lot. “It’s a very social area,” Lombard says. “And it’s one of those areas where everyone waves to each other.”
Sun City Hilton Head is the largest active adult community in South Carolina.
Sun City Hilton Head is home to more than 17,000 residents.

Homes in Holly Hill to Alexandria Village
Sun City has nearly 9,500 homes and over 60 distinct sub-communities, from Alexandria Village to Holly Hill. “You’ve got a mix of everything here,” Lombard says. “But the majority is single-family homes with some cottages and villas from anywhere between $300,000 and $1 million.” New housing development sprawls across Sun City’s northern quarter, including new traditional and colonial-style homes that cost between $700,000 and $1 million. Many new traditional and Lowcountry-style homes in the southern quarter were built in the early 2000s. These tend to cost between $400,000 and $600,000, affording around 2,000 square feet with four bedrooms. Duplexes are priced between $300,000 and $400,000, typically featuring between 1,300 and 1,500 square feet with two to three bedrooms.

Golf, tennis, bocce and more
“Sun City is one of the most amenities-rich communities across the Hilton Head and Bluffton areas,” Lombard says. “There’s something for everybody. You’ve got pools, fitness centers, pickleball courts and over 100 social clubs and groups.” Locals have 72 chartered clubs and 43 registered community groups they can join, ranging from amateur rodeo club and bird club to contract bridge club and karaoke club. “If you have a hobby, there’s probably a group for it.” Sun City features three golf courses that contour the community’s marshlands: Argent Lakes, Okatie Creek and Hidden Cypress. Tennis, pickleball and bocce ball courts are scattered throughout the community, and nearly 8 miles of walking trails connect many sub-communities with amenities. Three fitness centers offer group fitness classes, personal training and state-of-the-art cardio equipment. Dogs have designated spots, like the Argent Lakes Dog Park or the Red Dam Dog Park. And six community pools, two indoor and four outdoor, remain busy year-round.
The Okatie Creek course was designed by PGA professional Mark McCumber.
