Shell Point, SC Condo for Sale

Shell Point in Port Royal is a neighborhood with a strong military presence due to its proximity to Parris Island, a major Marine Corps Recruit Depot. This area attracts many military families, though it also houses a diverse mix of residents, including long-term non-military homeowners. The neighborhood is divided by a four-lane highway into two sections, featuring a variety of home styles such as mobile homes, waterfront Cape Cods, and traditional ranch-style houses, many of which were built between the 1950s and 1970s. Newer single-family homes are emerging in planned subdivisions near the southern waterways. Shell Point homes are generally more affordable compared to the luxury estates across the water, though many require higher flood insurance due to their location. Riverview Charter School, known for its high rating, serves students from kindergarten through eighth grade. Local features include Shell Point Park with its walking trails, playground, and pickleball courts, and the Broad River Fishing Pier, popular for fishing and sunset views. The Parris Island Museum and golf course are open to the public. Everyday conveniences are nearby, with a Food Lion for groceries and dining options like Fat Patties and Ryan’s Famous Pizza & Subs. Shell Point is about 5 miles from Historic Downtown Beaufort and offers access to Hilton Head Island and Savannah/Hilton Head International Airport.
