Age policy or published age marketingThe recorded Declaration of Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions sets a 55-plus qualifying-occupant rule with an 80% community-wide threshold

Quoted from Article II, Section 2.3(a) and 2.3(b) of the Second Amended and Restated Declaration of Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions for Sun City Hilton Head, made in 2012 by Del Webb Communities, Inc. The Initial Declaration was recorded September 8, 1994 at Book 729, Page 1497 in the Beaufort County Register of Deeds, with subsequent amendments and a Supplemental Declaration recorded July 28, 2026 in the Jasper County Register of Deeds per the association's governing-documents index. This reports the declaration's text and is not an independent HOPA-compliance determination.

    Check which master, sub-association, club, CDD, golf, service, transfer, or parcel-specific charges apply to the home you are considering.

  2. current source neededConfirm current price, inventory, and resale context

    Builder plan ranges and third-party resale snapshots can change quickly. Confirm the exact home, incentives, inventory, and comparable sales.

  5. buyer checkTour or request current community photos
