Bluffton Real Estate
Just over the bridge from resort neighbor Hilton Head Island, the coastal town of Bluffton is a more close-knit community known for its Lowcountry charm and southern hospitality. With over 47 miles of water frontage along its winding salt marsh creeks and rivers, Bluffton is great for water enthusiasts and boat lovers. Money Magazine has even recently ranked Bluffton as one of the best places for waterfront living in the entire country!
Without a doubt, one of the best things about Bluffton is its Lowcountry charm and true southern hospitality. The Lowcountry lifestyle is so popular here that in fact, the town’s official slogan is “Bluffton: Heart of the Lowcountry”.
Rich in Lowcountry culture, Historic Old Town Bluffton, which sits on a high bluff above the waters of the May River, is where many locals gather to relax and unwind with family and friends. The Old Town offers an array of art galleries and art festivals showcasing the talents of local artists, and the vibrant Farmers Market is the perfect place to pick up locally grown fruits and vegetables and fresh ‘just off the boat’ seafood. Traditional Lowcountry cuisine, such as shrimp and grits, steamed local oysters, Lowcountry boil, and southern-style barbeque with all the fixin’s, is served daily from the Old Town’s collection of exceptional cafes and restaurants. In addition to great food, the live, local music at many of the Old Town’s eateries make for a fun and festive atmosphere for family and friends. For those who have visited Old Town Bluffton, it’s no surprise that it has been called “the last true coastal village of the South.”
Outside of Old Town, the greater Bluffton area is a booming community with great schools and many modern conveniences and services. Real Estate opportunities vary as there are a wide variety of neighborhoods and lifestyles to choose from. If you are looking for a golf community with homes in the $200,000 – $500,000 range, neighborhoods such as The Crescent, Island West, Eagles Pointe, and Pinecrest are all great options. If you prefer a community with both golf and salt water access, Oldfield, Rose Hill, and Moss Creek are all good options with homes ranging from $300,000 to $1 million +. Looking for a luxury home that will ‘knock your socks off’? Palmetto Bluff, Colleton River Plantation, Belfair, and Berkeley Hall are all great golf and water-oriented gated communities with high-end, custom built, luxury homes.
While these are just a few of our favorite neighborhoods, Bluffton has many more to offer. If you are considering relocating to Bluffton, please CONTACT US and let a Bluffton expert help you today!
