Bluffton, SC – With the Grand Opening of its second collection in the LifeSmart™ Series earlier this month, Hampton Lake has experienced a surge of traffic and a jump in sales at the award-winning, private, lake community located on Bluffton Parkway.

“We had a great turnout at our grand opening event for the two new Lakelands models and have seen a steady increase in first-time visitors, sales and reservations,” Gerrit Albert, president of Hampton Lake, said. “In fact, in the first few weeks after their release, we have had 12 sales within the community.”

The newest Lakeland homes are part of Hampton Lake’s recently launched LifeSmart™ Series which is a collection of homes designed to save on energy expenses by employing energy-efficient construction techniques and materials. The Lakelands, ranging in size from 2,370 to 2,904 sq. ft., are priced from the upper $300s. The Cottage Imagination Collection, the first in the Series, starts at just $315,000.

“Homebuyers are looking for homes that offer choices but don’t omit amenities,” said Albert. “The LifeSmart™ Series maximizes those options by offering variety in floorplans, size and price. The Cottage Imagination Collection offers a smaller square footage while the Lakelands are slightly larger but still employs the same, “smart,” environmentally-conscious building practices and materials.”

Albert further noted that Hampton Lake’s reputation continues to grow which has added to the number of visitors it has been receiving. “Word is out that we received the National Association of Homebuilders Award for “Best Community in America” and people want to see what we’re all about.”

Hampton Lake has scheduled a second Open House for October 24 from 10am-5pm.  Available homes open for tour include Villa Homes – from the upper $200s, Carriage Homes – from the upper $300s, Coach Homes – from the low $600s, Cottage Homes – from the mid $400s and all four LifeSmart™ Models – from the low $300s.
