Senior and/or Early Retirement Options in the Hilton Head Island/Bluffton Area: Back in the 1960’s when Hilton Head Island was “developed”, starting with Sea Pines Plantation, the key audience for buyers consisted of retirees and second-homers. At that time, Hilton Head’s industry was wholly resort and real estate based. As a result, Hilton Head Island, for many, still conjures images of a retirement, beach and golf destination. Well, fast forward 40 years, and it is really quite amazing to witness how Hilton Head Island and the surrounding area have become one of the fastest-growing, most popular places to call home for all ages. From Sea Pines to Sun City and now reaching out in every direction, there are residential opportunities that feed an active-lifestyle for retirees. And with the widely-varied industries now established in the marketplace, Hilton Head Island has become fertile-ground for starting up new businesses, installing franchises, etc., all of which may readily scratch the itch for an early-retiree that wants to fulfill a life-long dream. The population growth has schools overflowing, businesses thriving, the arts expanding, mainstream stores building, social/country clubs bustling, and a robust sense of community weaving in and out of each neighborhood that this beautiful area has to offer. Come take a look…you may just find your next home!
