Best In South Carolina Real Estate™: Hilton Head

🏆 #1 of 10 Lowcountry counties, #1 of 10 SC counties — ALEX Intelligence Migration Data, 2023. Where are the households leaving Hilton Head, Bluffton, and Beaufort County going? Not to the Upstate, not to Charleston, not to the Grand Strand — but to Chatham County, GA, the top destination for Lowcountry outflows in 2022–23. This isn’t a retreat. It’s a strategic reallocation of wealth. The data reveals a new coastal economic axis forming: a network where capital moves between elite coastal markets, not away from them. High-income households are reinvesting in adjacent regions while maintaining ties to the Lowcountry, ensuring continued demand for premium real estate here.
