Sun City Hilton Head Pool

There are plenty of benefits that lure seniors into 55-plus communities like Sun City. One of the things that makes Sun City Hilton Head very special is our weather--not as cold as the north in the winter, not like Florida in the Summer, but "just right", most of the time. And, we haven't had a Hurricane in 8 years--maybe we're due...

When you come to Sun City, you are among your peers--we're all in the same boat
No children's' toys in the yard or loud music from screaming teenagers on skateboards--you're neighbors are like you. They are on the move in their cars, golf carts or on foot doing what they love to do or on the way to doing it.

Work and play makes for a great day, every day
If you're 55, maybe you still want to work. Some may also want to use Sun City as a base and continue to work for organizations outside of the area. There are about 1/3rd of the residents who work part-time or full time. Some choose to donate their time to worthy causes. Many of us are not ready to quit working--we like being in the game, but we also want to have fun, too--So, if you want to continue working or perhaps start a new career, people are doing it and so can you. Many Sun City homes include a den which you can use as your workspace for a home based business. Start your day by chipping a container of Golf balls at one of our ranges or go for a run or swim-then off to work you go.

Sun City Hilton Head Home

You can dispose of a lot--sell it, give to charity, to your kids -Sun City homes are one story --so there are no stairs to climb. That makes it much easier to clean without knee joints objecting. And, If you living area in the 2000 and above square feet range, we have homes here for you.

Work as much or as little as you wish on your yard or garden
Some areas of Sun City provide lawn care, tree trimming and generally take care of all of the outside of your home. Generally, most yards are easy to care for, and if you want someone to cut your lawn and do landscaping, these services are plentiful and inexpensive. Common areas are taken care of by the Sun City Home Owners Association.
