Abbey Glen, Hardeeville, South Carolina

Hardeeville is located just to the west of Hilton Head Island on the southern South Carolina coast. It has been one of the fastest growing towns in the state, thanks in part to its proximity to its famous neighbor. It is also the setting for Abbey Glen, an all ages community popular with baby boomers and empty nesters.

Construction of Abbey Glen began in 2006 and wrapped up in 2019. The original builder was Epcon but then Terranova Group. The community is small with just 112 homes. Exteriors are low maintenance vinyl with a combination of speckled, sandstone-colored brick and stone, giving the community a European flair.

Interior features include vaulted ceilings, granite countertops, a soaker tub, hardwood floors, a fireplace and more. Some town homes have a private courtyard or sunroom.

Prices begin in the mid- to high-$300,000s. The HOA fee is in the $400s to $600s per month depending on the home. There is also a special assessment fee of $200 per year until 2026. Please verify this with a Realtor as prices may change.

Abbey Glen is nicely landscaped with gardens, a fountain and new trees. The attractive clubhouse has a fitness center, a billiards room, a catering kitchen and a beautiful sunroom. Outside, a shimmering pool and a stamped concrete sundeck await.

Hardeeville is essentially two communities. The downtown area has older homes and some commercial development. The New River section is along U.S. 278, which runs directly to Hilton Head Island, and it has several master-planned developments (including Abbey Glen).

Coastal Carolina Hospital is in Hardeeville and is accredited by the Joint Commission.

Summer temperatures are in the 80s and 90s, and winter temperatures are in the 40s and 50s. On average, the area receives 52 inches of rain per year.
