A large suburb with resort-style amenities

The entrance to Cypress Ridge, lined with evenly-spaced palm trees and split by a well-manicured median, leads to a central roundabout. From there, narrow residential streets shoot around large lagoons, robust amenity centers and 21st-century tract housing. “Cypress Ridge feels very welcoming,” says local Realtor Kevin Lombard of Weichert Realtors Coastal Properties. He’s sold homes in the area for about five years. “As you drive in, you’re looking at these large, waterworks lagoons with fountains. You’ll see basketball hoops in driveways and people walking on the trail.” The lower housing prices are a significant draw. “It’s a really good value,” Lombard says. “Especially since you get a lot of really nice amenities.”

A blend of townhomes and single-family homes

Along the neighborhood’s sidewalk-lined streets are a mix of single-family houses and townhomes. Contemporary colonial and new traditional single-family homes sit on close-quartered, manicured lots. They have classic vinyl siding, shuttered windows and two-car garages. Each house has a small cement driveway that extends to paved streets where kids ride their bikes, and pet owners walk their dogs. “It’s a very family-oriented neighborhood,” Lombard says. “So you’ll often see kids playing basketball or hanging out with friends.” Single-family homes cost between $420,000 and $620,000. The contemporary colonials tend to cost closer to $550,000, offering over 2,500 square feet. Townhomes feature between 1,200 and 1,800 square feet, with two to four bedrooms. These typically cost between $250,000 and $400,000. The Reserve at Cypress Ridge, a gated sub-community, features Southern-style cottages at prices between $480,000 and $550,000.

Lounging in the lazy river

Cypress Ridge has two amenity centers. The Mill House Sports Complex features a zero-entry pool with a winding lazy river and small waterfalls. Plus, it has a splash pad for the kids. The Sports Complex also features a three-story fitness center, two tennis courts and a basketball court. The other amenity center is located off Hulston Landing Road. It features an additional resort-style pool and an indoor pickleball court. There’s also a gated dog park that backs up to the woods. A one-mile paved walking path overlooks one of the community’s lagoons, often busy with joggers and casual strollers. The community dock provides a spot for folks to enjoy catch-and-release fishing.

May River High features a robust list of student clubs

The Beaufort County School District scores an overall A-minus on Niche and serves nearly 22,000 students. Pritchardville Elementary School scores an overall B-plus on Niche, and H.E. McCracken Middle School has an A-minus. Niche ranks the middle school as the second-best overall public middle school in Beaufort County. May River High School, built in 2016, features several student clubs, like the animal welfare club and chess club. Niche gave the high school an overall A-minus.

Navigating Bluffton

Many residents use bikes or golf carts to get around the community. When leaving, they typically drive. Okatie Highway runs just outside the community and connects with Business 278 about 5 miles north. Coastal Carolina Hospital is about 12 miles away, adjacent to Interstate 95. The Savannah Hilton Head International Airport is about 20 miles away.

Groceries at May River Crossing

May River Crossing is a small shopping center about 3 miles from Cypress Ridge. It has a Publix, Great Clips and a few service businesses. It’s also home to the Ice Cream Stop, which has soft-serve ice cream, floats, milkshakes and brownie sundaes. About 5 miles away, Buckwalter Place offers additional shopping and restaurant options. The shopping center features a Kroger and a Publix. It’s also home to Tio’s Latin American Kitchen, a popular restaurant with tacos, tamales and enchiladas. Southern Barrel Brewing Company has French fry baskets, burgers and craft brews.
