Hampton Plantation is framed by the Marshes of Glynn to the west, the King and Prince Golf Club to the east and the Hampton River to the north. Moss-draped oaks, massive pine trees and tropical plants accent the community's narrow streets and sizable lots. "Homes here are well-placed within the trees and in the natural environment," Fisher says. The community was developed in 1989, and custom homes started to pop up in the following years. There are just over 300 housing sites with varying home styles and sizes. Some homes measure over 5,000 square feet, while some are under 2,000. The community's townhomes, located on Limeburn Drive and Kiln Circle, list from $440,000 to $650,000. A few patio homes list from $500,000 to $700,000, but most single-family homes sell between $800,000 and $2 million.Most dining options are a few miles south into central St. Simons Island
The King and Price Golf Club operates the neighborhood's only restaurant, 100 Tabbystone. It's in the clubhouse and features indoor and outdoor seating, offering views of the golf course and lake. Additional dining options are outside the neighborhood. Several restaurants pepper Frederica Road, including Dorothy's Cocktail and Oyster Bar. "Dorothy's is a nice, upscale restaurant with an exciting atmosphere," Fisher says. Raw oysters, steak and classic cocktails are on the menu. Additional restaurants, from Delaney's Bistro to Brogen's North, are about 9 miles away. Harris Teeter is around 10 miles south.Glynn County Schools earn high remarks on Niche
