Many active adults dream of retiring by the ocean and spending their days soaking up the sun, but some shy away from the idea because of the assumption that real estate near the ocean is overpriced. However, living by the coast doesn’t have to be just a dream; there are several active lifestyle communities in the Hilton Head area with a variety of housing options around $250k and easy access to some of the South’s most popular beaches.
Here’s what active adults can get for $250k in the Hilton Head area of South Carolina.
