A Historic Gullah Neighborhood with new housing developments
Jonesville is one of Hilton Head Island's 13 Historic Gullah Neighborhoods. It was named for Caesar Jones, who bought 100-plus acres of land in the late 19th century. It remained undisturbed throughout the 20th century, with some land still under family possession. Developers began building new homes toward the tail-end of the 1900s and into the 2000s. "I used to live over in that area, and it used to be really quiet," says local broker Dan Jackson, owner of Searchlight Realty. He's sold homes across the region for nearly three decades. "There weren't many homes in the area until builders bought land for [housing] developments." Jonesville is becoming busier, according to Jackson, and it's still growing. Homes were built as recently as 2018 in subdivisions like the Paddocks on Jarvis Creek and Salt Creek Landing. Buyers are drawn to the community's proximity to the creeks, marshes and U.S. Route 278. "Jarvis Creek is on one side, and Old House Creek is on the other," Jackson says. "When I lived there, I always went to Old House Creek."
The neighborhood has close proximity to beaches and lakes.
Jonesville is known for its well-maintained properties, giving the area a welcoming feel.
