Best In South Carolina Real Estate™: Hilton Head
2026-11-02
Hilton Head Island holds 95.1% of the Lowcountry’s large apartment stock—95.1% of the region’s 50+ unit rental capacity is in just three cities. This is not a sign of balanced growth, but of structural imbalance. The data comes from ALEX Intelligence’s latest analysis: https://alex-companies.com/data/2026-11-02-hilton-head-concentration-apartment-units-place. What does this mean for future supply, tenant choice, and long-term resilience? How can policy and infrastructure diversify housing access beyond the top three cities?
