The first village at Palmetto Bluff, Wilson represents the culmination of years of study and research into the small coastal towns of the South and the characteristics that made them distinct. Wilson Village offers a wide range of experiences, river access and activities, a gourmet market and signature shops and restaurants all open to the public and within easy walking distance of the Village Green.
The May River serves as a shimmering backdrop to the inspired lifestyle offerings of Wilson Village. Centered by the Village Green, and accented by spectacular ancient oaks, the quaint community hub is rich in both Lowcountry history and southern charms. Here, the ruins of the R.T. Wilson estate, one of the Bluff’s first homes, remain in tribute to a storied past. And shaded, bricked sidewalks welcome the daily bustle of boutique and gallery shoppers, discerning diners, and spirited strollers–all seduced by the vibrant, social spirit of the Village.
The Spirit of Palmetto Bluff

Architecture
The architecture in Wilson Village embodies the spirit of Palmetto Bluff — it is the marker for what all of Palmetto Bluff should aspire to be. It carries with it the weight of being the original village and captures the vision in the most pristine way: relaxed, unbundled, comfortable, authentically detailed, regionally responsive and blended in among the trees. You cannot get a better example of what Lowcountry architecture should be than in Wilson Village. As you go out from the Village core to other neighborhoods, the style may shift slightly, allowing different interpretations of Lowcountry.
