Best In South Carolina Real Estate™: Hilton Head

🏆 Ranked #1 Destination for Out-Moving Lowcountry Households — ALEX Intelligence, 2026. Where are the households leaving Beaufort and Jasper counties going? The answer isn’t Charleston, Columbia, or Myrtle Beach. It’s Chatham County, GA—with 354 households moving there in the last year. This isn’t a sign of decline—it’s a signal of strategic regional alignment. Hilton Head and Bluffton aren’t losing people; they’re exporting high-intent, high-capacity residents to a neighboring county that’s becoming a new hub for coastal living. This is not a flight from the market—it’s a repositioning within a larger, interconnected coastal ecosystem.
