Sun City Hilton Head marks three decades of “life well lived.” The milestone offers a clear view of where the community has been—and where it’s headed next.
New Resort-Style Amenities Arriving Spring 2026
Sun City is preparing a new chapter that feels less like an add-on and more like the next rhythm of daily life—morning laps that give way to lazy, sun-drenched afternoons by the pool, strength sessions in studios designed for bodies that know what they like, quiet corners for stretching and breathwork, and a neighborhood restaurant that turns weeknights into easy occasions. Opening next year, the expansion isn’t about bigger for its own sake, it’s about smarter spaces, effortless gathering, and a community that keeps evolving right alongside the people who call it home.
- Sparkling pools and expansive sun decks.
- State-of-the-art fitness centers and dedicated wellness rooms.
- A vibrant new restaurant and social gathering spaces.
The amenity expansion is planned to open in Spring 2026, underscoring Sun City’s long-running commitment to active, connected living.
Built on Tradition. Designed for Tomorrow.
From stronger foundations to smart-home upgrades, today’s homes far exceed 1990s standards. Superior insulation helps maintain steady temperatures year-round, while energy-saving windows limit heat gain and loss. High-efficiency HVAC systems work with smart thermostats for precise control, and durable materials with built-in smart wiring support a fully connected lifestyle. Working together, these features are designed to reduce energy costs, with potential savings of up to 20% when systems and features operate in concert.
Floor Plans That Reflect Today’s Lifestyle
Since opening in 1995, floor plans have evolved from mostly compartmentalized rooms to brighter, open-concept designs. Larger, strategically placed windows draw in more natural light, and flexible spaces adapt to hobbies, guests, or work-from-home needs. Indoor-outdoor flow is easier, with covered or screened outdoor areas becoming part of the daily routine. Personalization options also let buyers tailor kitchens, baths, and storage for modern living.
From Neutral to Notable: Changing Design Trends
Design choices have evolved alongside the architecture. The overall shift moves from “safe and same” to “clean, curated, and personal,” while staying timeless enough for long-term enjoyment.
1990s
- Warm neutrals dominated—beige and cream walls, light carpets.
- Traditional cabinet profiles in lighter woods.
- Wallpaper accents and brass finishes were common.
Today
- Layered neutrals with contrast—soft whites, taupe, charcoal, and black hardware.
- Painted and mixed-material cabinetry (e.g., natural wood + painted island).
- Hard-surface flooring for durability and easy care.
- Statement lighting, quartz counters, and tile backsplashes that add texture.
- Purposeful pops of color—particularly in powder rooms, studies, or islands.
