Diamondhead homes for sale are located in a planned community with a country club. Membership in the Diamondhead Country Club can only be gained by buying property in the community. As of January 2012, the community was expected to become an incorporated area despite some opponents to the incorporation. The town was designed in the 1970s as a retirement community. However, it has evolved into a community with a diverse age group. Many residents are choosing Diamondhead real estate today for the location as well as being a safe place to raise a family.

Named after Diamond Head, Hawaii, the area definitely has a Hawaiian influence. Many of the streets have Hawaiian names – Kapalama, Aloha and Linohau – and there are homes with Kona/Tahitian roof lines. A number of attractions within the community provide recreation. The Pine and Cardinal are 18-hole professional golf courses. There are several pools for residents and guests throughout Diamondhead. Several lakes and ponds provide fishing. Many homes include gulf access as well as access to the Marina and Yacht Club.
