When I was deciding where to relocate in South Carolina, I knew I wanted to live near the coast while still having reasonably priced housing options. I narrowed my search to the Grand Strand, (60 miles of SC's northern coast) and now one of the questions I am asked most often is, “What is the best area to live in?”

COMMUNITIES IN MYRTLE BEACH
If you're looking for one of the most beautiful communities in Carolina Forest (a section of Myrtle Beach), you need to see Waterbridge!

Located just 15–20 minutes from the beach, Waterbridge is best known for having one of the largest residential pools in South Carolina. The resort-style amenities are truly impressive, featuring a stunning clubhouse, fitness center, indoor and outdoor gathering spaces, and even swim-up seating at the pool. I've swum there myself, and it's an incredible place to relax and enjoy the Carolina lifestyle.

But that's just the beginning! Residents also enjoy:
🏓 Pickleball & tennis courts
🏀 Basketball courts
🏐 Sand volleyball court
♨️ Hot tubs & spa
🔥 Fire pit and outdoor gathering areas
🛝 Playground for the kids
🌿 Scenic walking and nature trails

One feature that really sets Waterbridge apart is its community boat and RV storage area exclusively for residents. How convenient is that? It's just another reason why so many people love calling Waterbridge home.

Families also appreciate that Waterbridge is located within the highly regarded, award-winning Carolina Forest school district, making it an excellent choice for those seeking outstanding educational opportunities.

The community offers something for almost every buyer. The original phase features beautiful custom-built homes by a variety of builders, with unique designs ranging from charming homes to luxurious custom estates.

A newer section was built by Chesapeake Homes, one of my favorite builders. Their homes have a luxurious feel, with many offering coffered ceilings, large sliding glass doors, upscale kitchens, and impressive 9-foot interior doors as standard features.

There's also a section built by D.R. Horton, offering outstanding value with beautiful homes at more affordable price points.

Being a gated community adds to Waterbridge's upscale feel, and it's easy to see why it's considered one of Carolina Forest's premier neighborhoods.

Today, one of my colleagues listed a gorgeous Chesapeake Home that's only two years old, and it's absolutely beautiful! Click Here for more info: https://myre.io/0LASfN80eQan

If you'd like to tour this home or any other home in Waterbridge, I'd love to help. If you're out of town, I'm happy to provide a personal video walkthrough or schedule a FaceTime tour.
