Long Cove
Custom-built homes approved by the Architectural Review Board
Long Cove Drive passes through the gated entrance and loops around the neighborhood, branching into quiet cul-de-sacs. Most homes reflect cape cod or new traditional ranch-style architecture, with stucco exteriors and protruding multi-car garages. These listings typically range between $900,000 and $2 million, but some waterfront homes can cost $3 million. Half-acre wooded lots will occasionally go on the market for around $250,000 to $450,000. While the styles are similar, Skrip says no two homes look the same. “All the homes are custom builds, so there’s nothing cookie-cutter about ‘em.” However, to maintain its character and natural beauty, Long Cove’s community-occupied Architectural Review Board must approve all landscaping and building plans.Hilton Head Island’s most expensive HOA fees
The Long Cove Home Owners Association requires a one-time initiation fee of $50,000 along with $18,000 in annual dues, making it the most expensive HOA community on Hilton Head Island. These steep fees are based on the neighborhood’s top-tier amenities. “It’s one of those private, gated golf communities with a beautiful clubhouse and a championship golf course,” Skrip says. All residents must be club members. “You have to be a part of the club if you own a home there, so if you don’t play golf, you’re still paying all that money,” Skrip says.Redfish right off the community dock
Residents are required to be members of the Long Cove Club. There are two 18-hole golf courses curved around freshwater lagoons and Broad Creek’s marshlands. Members meet up at the clubhouse to practice on the tennis courts. After a game of pickleball, they can cool off at the pool. Besides the Club, there’s a community dog park and a 77-boat slip marina. “Fishing is huge here,” Skrip says. “A lot of people go fishing right there in the marshes.”Hilton Head’s only Fresh Market sits just outside the gates
Some of the most popular retail and dining in Hilton Head sit just outside Long Cove’s gated entrance. Between the golf course and William Hilton Parkway, The Fresh Market Shoppes has a little deli, a Southern-style seafood restaurant and “the only Fresh Market in Hilton Head,” Skrip says. Locals can drive about a half mile east to find a handful of the Island’s best breakfast spots, including Hilton Head Diner. A mile west, The Village of Wexford is an outdoor shopping center packed with chic boutiques and several local eateries ranging from specialty coffee bars to fine dining restaurants.Earn an IB Diploma from Hilton Head Island High
Long Cove students are zoned for the Beaufort County School District. Hilton Head Early Childhood Center receives a B on Niche and offers a preschool and kindergarten program. Hilton Head Island Elementary scores a B-plus, while Hilton Head Island Middle earns a B. Hilton Head Island High School gets an A-minus. It offers an International Baccalaureate program where students can earn an IB Diploma or opt for an IB Certificate.Only 1.5 miles from the oceanfront
William Hilton Parkway borders south Long Cove and connects to US Route 278, about a mile west. From here, residents can drive 1.5 miles south to arrive at the oceanfront or head 10 miles north to access the mainland. The Savannah/Hilton Head International Airport is over 45 miles away, but the Island’s very own airport sits just up the road. Only 7 miles away, the much smaller Hilton Head Island Airport services American Airlines, Delta and United.
