The newest clubhouse in the Bluffton 55+ market — what the $265/month HOA covers and what costs extra
Have questions about what you're reading? A specialist can walk you through real costs, honest comparisons, and what's actually available right now — free, no obligation.
Talk to a Specialist →The clubhouse opened in late 2024 — making it the most recently built amenity facility in any Bluffton 55+ community. Modern open-concept design, natural light, and spaces configured for how active adults actually use a clubhouse: fitness, social gathering, organized events, and casual daily use. For buyers who have toured older clubhouses at Sun City and found them dated, the contrast is immediate.
Cardio machines, strength equipment, free weights. Group fitness classes (yoga, aerobics, strength) included in HOA — no additional charge.
Resort-style pool with hot tub and lounge areas. Aqua fitness and open swim. Open year-round in Bluffton's mild Lowcountry winters.
Multiple dedicated courts. Organized leagues and open play from community opening. Most consistently attended amenity.
Outdoor bocce with organized leagues and casual play. Popular for both competitive residents and casual afternoons.
Enclosed off-leash areas. Pet-friendly community throughout trails and common spaces.
Wooded perimeter trails through the community's natural Lowcountry setting. Live oaks and native landscape throughout.
Flexible event spaces for club meetings, private gatherings, and community programming throughout the week.
Casual gathering space adjacent to the main clubhouse area. Open daily for resident use.
