Sun City Hilton Head is the largest 55-plus, active adult community in the Lowcountry. Within its nearly 6,000 acres comes an impressive list of amenities that keep residents busy year-round. With fitness facilities and golf courses, racquetball courts and specialized clubs, folks are as busy as they want to be. Local Realtor Kevin Lombard says it’s all up to the resident. “That’s the beauty of Sun City. It’s your own special setting that can be as big or small as you want it,” Lombard says. He lives in Sun City and has sold homes for nearly five years with Weichert Realtors Coastal Properties. “You can stick to your small group of close friends or attend a 900-person outdoor concert.” Because there’s so much to do, folks are outside a lot. “It’s a very social area,” Lombard says. “And it’s one of those areas where everyone waves to each other.”

You’ve got pools, fitness centers, pickleball courts and over 100 social clubs and groups.” Locals have 72 chartered clubs and 43 registered community groups they can join, ranging from amateur rodeo club and bird club to contract bridge club and karaoke club. “If you have a hobby, there’s probably a group for it.” Sun City features three golf courses that contour the community’s marshlands: Argent Lakes, Okatie Creek and Hidden Cypress. Tennis, pickleball and bocce ball courts are scattered throughout the community, and nearly 8 miles of walking trails connect many sub-communities with amenities.
