Hardeeville, SC · Lennar · ~600 homes planned · Active construction · The newest 55+ entry in the Hilton Head market — and the county line issue every buyer must understand before purchasing
Four Seasons at Hilton Head Lakes is Lennar's entry into the 55+ Hilton Head corridor, built around a lake setting in Hardeeville, SC. It is the most recently launched major 55+ community in this market and is still in active construction phases as of 2026. Buyers purchasing now are early in the community's development arc — which has both advantages and real considerations to evaluate carefully.
Lennar's Everything's Included program means standard home features that cost extra elsewhere — quartz countertops, luxury vinyl plank, smart home package, stainless appliances — come standard. When comparing sticker prices to Del Webb or K. Hovnanian, a same-price Lennar home often has $30,000–$50,000 more in included features. Apples-to-apples specification comparison is essential before dismissing or embracing any price point.
Four Seasons at Hilton Head Lakes is in Hardeeville. Some parcels in this development may fall in Jasper County rather than Beaufort County. This matters enormously: Jasper County has different millage rates, different exemption forms, and different auditor processes than Beaufort County. A Jasper County parcel may also require different documentation for the SC 65+ homestead exemption. Always confirm which county your specific lot is in before making an offer — not the community generally, but your parcel specifically.
When a buyer compares a $420,000 Lennar home to a $400,000 Del Webb home, the $20,000 price difference is not the right comparison. The Del Webb home at $400,000 likely has builder-grade finishes. To get the equivalent specification — quartz, LVP, smart home, stainless — buyers typically add $25,000–$50,000 in upgrades. The Lennar home at $420,000 may already include all of that.
Build a specification-matched comparison before concluding that any builder is cheaper or more expensive. The sales office at Four Seasons can provide a standard feature list; compare it line by line against competitor upgrade sheets.
