Talk to a Specialist →First: this one isn't K. Hovnanian
Unlike most communities carrying the Four Seasons name in the Carolinas and beyond, Four Seasons at Hilton Head Lakes in Hardeeville, SC is built by Lennar, not K. Hovnanian. It shares the "Four Seasons" branding but not the builder, which matters for warranty terms, standard specifications, and how you should benchmark pricing against other Lennar communities rather than K. Hovnanian ones. Don't assume construction quality, floor plan philosophy, or fee structure carries over from a K. Hovnanian Four Seasons you may have toured elsewhere — it's a different company entirely.
The five things to confirm before you write an offer
- Which county your specific parcel sits in. Some lots in this development may fall in Jasper County rather than Beaufort County. This isn't a minor technicality — Jasper and Beaufort have different millage rates, different exemption application processes, and different auditor offices. The SC 65+ homestead exemption paperwork may differ by county too. Confirm the county for your exact lot, not "the community" in general.
- What construction phase you're buying into. Early-phase buyers get new-construction pricing and customization options, but also live through years of ongoing construction traffic and noise, and amenities that may not be fully delivered yet.
- Whether the HOA fee you were quoted is locked or projected. HOA fees on actively building communities can shift as the community builds out and the cost base becomes clearer — ask specifically whether the number you were quoted is current or an early estimate.
- The actual specification sheet, not just the price. See below — this is the single most misunderstood part of shopping here.
- How established the resale market is for a still-building community. Resale values here are inherently less proven than at Sun City, simply because the community hasn't existed long enough to generate a track record.

The price you see is not the price to compare
Lennar's Everything's Included program bakes in features — quartz countertops, luxury vinyl plank, a smart home package, stainless appliances — that other builders sell as upgrades. When a $420,000 Lennar home here looks $20,000 more expensive than a $400,000 Del Webb or K. Hovnanian home elsewhere in the Hilton Head market, that gap is frequently not real. Equivalent specification on the other builder's home often requires $25,000–$50,000 in add-on upgrades to match what's already standard at Four Seasons at Hilton Head Lakes. Get the standard feature list from the sales office and compare it line by line against competitor upgrade sheets before concluding either builder is cheaper.
Don't buy the county line issue at face value from the sales office. Confirm independently with the Beaufort County and Jasper County assessor offices which one applies to your specific lot — this is not something to take purely on the word of the sales team, however well-intentioned. The consequences of guessing wrong show up on your first tax bill.
The honest ledger on buying into active construction
What you gain: new-construction pricing before the community sells out, meaningful customization of finishes, Lennar's high standard-spec features, and the chance to help shape the community's culture from an early stage. What you're trading away: years of possible construction noise and traffic, amenities that may lag behind your move-in date, and a resale track record that simply doesn't exist yet compared to an established community like Sun City. Neither side of that ledger is wrong for every buyer — but go in knowing both sides, not just the one on the sales brochure.
