Living in Bluffton
Bluffton went from a sleepy fishing village to one of the fastest-growing towns in South Carolina. The Old Town area along the May River still has its original Lowcountry character, with art galleries, oyster roasts, and sunset views. But the growth is in the planned communities: Palmetto Bluff for luxury, Sun City for active adults, Hampton Hall and Berkeley Hall for golf. Newer homes, better price-per-square-foot than Hilton Head, and a quick run to the beach are what land most buyers here. From Old Town, the Hilton Head sand is about 15 to 20 minutes out.
