Westbury Park is a gated, tree-lined neighborhood of Charleston-style single-family homes and townhomes tucked just off Highway 278 in the heart of Bluffton, South Carolina, close to Old Town, area schools, and a short drive from Hilton Head Island's beaches.
Westbury Park was built in the classic Lowcountry tradition: vintage lamp posts, sidewalks on both sides of broad, tree-lined streets, small parks scattered throughout, and Charleston-style single-family homes and townhomes designed to feel like a small Southern town rather than a modern subdivision. The community sits behind two electric gated entrances just off Highway 278 near its intersection with Buck Island Road, a location that puts residents minutes from Bluffton's grocery stores, medical offices, banks, and everyday shopping, with a small commercial center just outside the front gate.
Developed by D.R. Horton primarily between the late 1990s and mid 2000s, Westbury Park is now built out, which means purchases here are resale homes rather than new construction. That maturity is part of the appeal for buyers relocating from the Northeast or Mid-Atlantic: established landscaping, mature shade trees, a settled neighborhood feel, and a location inside the town of Bluffton rather than out toward the edges of the growing Lowcountry market.
For out-of-state buyers weighing a full-time move, a second home, or a lower-maintenance property, Westbury Park offers a useful combination in this market: sidewalks throughout the neighborhood, resort-style amenities, and easy access to both Old Town Bluffton and Hilton Head Island, without the golf-club dues that come with many master-planned communities in the area.
Westbury Park includes approximately 270 single-family homes on patio-style lots and 79 attached townhomes arranged along two rows, for a total neighborhood of roughly 349 residences. Architecture throughout leans Charleston-style and Lowcountry traditional: covered porches, dormers, board-and-batten and lap siding, and detached garages, some with finished rooms above, accessed from rear alleys on many streets. Floor plans generally range from two-bedroom to five-bedroom homes, offering buyers a range of price points and living space within a single gated community.
Because Westbury Park is built out, inventory changes regularly and home condition, age of major systems, and any past renovations vary widely from one listing to the next. As with any established Lowcountry neighborhood, buyers should budget for periodic roof, HVAC, and exterior maintenance and review the HOA questionnaire and financials for each specific home before writing an offer.
One layout note worth flagging: most Westbury Park homes and townhomes place the primary bedroom upstairs, and first-floor primary suites are limited. Buyers who prefer not to use stairs to reach their primary bedroom should search specifically for a first-floor primary suite when reviewing current listings.
Westbury Park's amenities were designed around neighborhood life rather than golf or a private club, which keeps ownership costs simpler for buyers who want resort-style extras without a mandatory club membership.
Beyond the pool and fitness center, Westbury Park's pavilion, picnic area, and fire pit give neighbors regular reasons to gather outdoors, from casual evenings by the fire to reserved private events in the pavilion's kitchen.
Small parks and park-like squares are tucked throughout Westbury Park, connected by broad, tree-lined streets and sidewalks on both sides, the same handcrafted, small-town streetscape that sets the neighborhood apart from newer subdivisions in Bluffton.

What buyers should verify: HOA dues, transfer fees, and any special assessments vary by section and change over time. Any pool, fence, or exterior improvement on an individual lot is subject to the lot's governing documents and architectural approval, not automatically permitted. Confirm current HOA questionnaire, financials, and rules directly with the association before closing.

Nestled inside the larger Westbury Park neighborhood, The Estate at Westbury Park is a condominium enclave that shares Westbury Park's two electric gated entrances, offering a lock-and-leave alternative for buyers who want the same Charleston-style setting without the maintenance of a detached home. The buildings sit around Kensington Boulevard near Westbury Park's parks and gated entrances.
One, two, and three-bedroom floor plans make up the choices at The Estate at Westbury Park, ranging from one-bedroom units as small as 586 square feet up to three-bedroom units of 1,216 square feet. They may appeal to seasonal residents, downsizing buyers, or out-of-state purchasers looking for a lower-maintenance second home in the Lowcountry. Interiors and finishes vary by unit and by how recently each has been updated, so a walkthrough and review of any recent renovations is always worthwhile.
Residents of The Estate at Westbury Park have access to their own community pool and fitness center in addition to the broader Westbury Park amenities, landscaped grounds, and the same gated access and proximity to Bluffton's schools, shopping, and medical facilities.
Good to know: The Estate at Westbury Park is a separate condominium association from the Westbury Park POA, with its own governing documents, HOA questionnaire, and fee structure. Confirm current dues, rules, and any rental restrictions directly with the association before making an offer.
The buildings were originally built as apartments and later converted to condominiums, and there are no elevators, so units above the ground floor are accessed by stairs only.
Westbury Park sits inside the town of Bluffton, roughly six miles west of the bridge to Hilton Head Island and about fifteen miles east of Interstate 95, giving buyers convenient access in both directions without a long drive from either the beach or the highway. Old Town Bluffton's shops, restaurants, and the May River waterfront are a short drive away, and the Tanger Outlets and Buckwalter Place shopping and dining are close by as well.
Drive times are approximate and will vary with traffic and time of day.
Westbury Park tends to appeal most to out-of-state buyers from the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic who want a settled, gated neighborhood with sidewalks throughout, inside Bluffton itself rather than a golf-course community farther from town. The mature landscaping and small-town feel may suit buyers relocating full time, buyers who value convenient access to schools and everyday services, and buyers who want resort-style amenities without golf dues or a private club membership.
Buyers who want a lower-maintenance, gated condo lifestyle within that same setting, without the upkeep of a detached home, are often better suited to The Estate at Westbury Park. Buyers who specifically want golf course frontage, a marina, or a private beach club may find one of the Lowcountry's larger master-planned communities, such as those closer to Hilton Head Island, a better fit, and are welcome to reach out for a comparison of those options.
