Hampton Point is a scenic community in northern St. Simons Island

At the quiet northern edge of St. Simons Island, the neighborhood of Hampton Point is separated from tourists and settled amid the barrier island’s biodiverse marshes. “Since a lot of homes are on the marsh, they have a perfect view, depending on where they’re located, of the sunrise or sunset,” says local Realtor Diana Fisher of Maritime Realty Group. She’s sold homes across the region for 10 years and resides on St. Simons Island. “And the views are just stunning. They’re breathtaking.” The neighborhood is separated from the busier areas of St. Simons Island by a winding, tree-lined road. “It’s away from the hustle and bustle of the rest of the island,” Fisher says. “Even the drive there is so serene.” The neighborhood offers proximity to an amenities-rich clubhouse and is home to a marina.

Custom homes under a canopy of aged oaks

Hampton Point is framed by salt marshes and saltwater estuaries, jutting into a slight bend of the Hampton River. Massive oak trees canopy the neighborhood, and its narrow streets remain fairly shaded throughout the day. The neighborhood's first homes date to the 1980s and are all custom to the original owner. Lots often measure around one acre and are full of century-old, moss-draped oaks characteristic of the area. Many homes along Hampton Point Drive border the Hampton River or Jones Creek and feature private, deep-water docks. Several townhomes and condominiums are available along Plantation Point Drive and are listed from $400,000 to $800,000. Single-family homes typically sell between $800,000 and $2 million. Homes priced over $1 million usually overlook the water.
Some residents choose to live in townhomes or condos located on the neighborhoods north end.
