Seabrook Island

Single family homes and condominiums are for sale, and coastal architecture is common. Homesites are dotted with moss-draped trees, and riverfront, tidal marsh, maritime forest, oceanfront or golf course views are standard.

Prices begin in the mid- to high-$300,000s. The Seabrook Island Property Owners Association manages the community. Yearly HOA dues are $2,000, and each unit pays an additional monthly fee as well. A fee of 1/2 of 1% of a home's purchase price is paid by the buyer at closing. Please verify these prices with a Realtor as prices may change.

Buying a property also means buying a membership in the Seabrook Island Club. Membership comes in three main levels and includes varying degrees of access to the community's amenities. The Club currently has about 2,000 members.

The amenities to which membership grants access include two Audubon Sanctuary Golf Courses, 15 tennis courts, an equestrian center with beach trails, a fitness center, waterfront swimming pools, saltwater pools, oceanfront dining venues, miles of private beach and a deep water marina. Social events happen year round.

Seabrook Island is also an Audubon International Certified Sustainable Community. And because it is an incorporated town, it has a mayor.

Seabrook Island does not have a hospital, but Charleston has several, the closest being about 18 miles away.

Summer temperatures are in the 70s, 80s and 90s, and winter temperatures are usually in the 50s and 60s. On average, the area receives 48 inches of rain per year.

South Carolina:

Francisco de Gordillo explored the present-day South Carolina coast during 1521 but was unable to establish a town. The French also failed to colonize in 1562. The English settled here in 1670, but they moved on to Charleston when the conditions worsened. The two Carolinas split officially in 1729. The state was the first to leave the Union during the Civil War.

South Carolina was once primarily agricultural and still grows peanuts, watermelons, peaches and tobacco. Today, though, it is mostly known for its textile mills. Wood products, asbestos, steel, pulp and chemicals are particularly important. A commercial tea plantation, and the only one in America, lies on an island 20 miles South of Charleston.

Top attractions include Fort Sumter, which is a national monument, the aircraft carrier USS Yorktown, the Cypress Gardens (located in Charleston), Hilton Head resorts, the Cowpens National Battlefield, the Botanical Gardens and the Riverbanks Zoo.

55+ Communities and Single People

It often seems as though 55+ communities are full of happily married people. This is not always the case, though, as the demographic fact is that women often outlive their spouses. It is true that newer developments draw couples because newer developments tend to draw younger retirees. This is simply because older communities have residents who moved in longer ago. Older developments have more singles, particularly women, because the residents are often older. As to where to find single men, that is out of our area of expertise.
