Both communities are located along River Oaks Road in the Carolina Forest area. This prime location is away from the busy traffic areas within the Myrtle Beach city limits but less than a ten minute drive away from everything the city has to offer.

Myrtle Beach Neighborhoods & Communities: Palmetto Pointe

by

Palmetto Pointe is a community within the Myrtle Beach area that is centrally located along the Grand Strand. Its location lies directly between Myrtle Beach and Surfside Beach, SC.

The location is a great benefit to its residents because they live within close proximity to nearly all surrounding areas–Myrtle Beach, North Myrtle Beach, Surfside Beach, Garden City Beach, Murrells Inlet–you name it! Coastal Grand Mall, Market Common, and the Myrtle Beach International Airport are all located less than five miles away, and many shops and restaurants can also be found along Highway 544 (which is also less than five miles away).

Palmetto Pointe Boulevard is only a few miles long but contains numerous single-family home neighborhoods. Some of the more popular neighborhoods include Peninsula at Palmetto Pointe, Woodbury, Palmetto Glen, and Cascades. A few apartment and condominium communities are also included in the Palmetto Pointe community, such as Ivystone and Palmetto Pointe Apartments.

Most of the homes within Palmetto Pointe are one or two stories, range in size from 1300 to 2500 square feet, and consist of three to four bedrooms. Many also offer a two-car garage, fenced-in backyard, and updated features like stainless steel appliances, granite countertops, and wood flooring. In addition, nearly every neighborhood offers its residents amenities that include a swimming pool and clubhouse, as well as other recreational facilities.

The Palmetto Pointe area is located behind a large, ongoing construction project on Highway 17 Bypass. However, don’t exclude this great community from your property search because of the occasional traffic congestion caused by this project. It truly is an awesome community that offers quiet neighborhoods in a fantastic location. The Highway 17 Interchange Project is expected to be complete by the summer of 2014. Once the project is finished, traffic and congestion surrounding the area will recede, and it should be easier to get around the area than it was prior to the project.

The following video should give you an overall understanding of the project and displays the projected outcome at completion:

Grand Strand Communities: Briarcliffe Acres

by

briarcliffe-acres sign

Briarcliffe Acres is a small town that lies between Myrtle Beach and North Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. The entirety of the town’s land area spans less than a mile, and the population was 470 when the 2000 census was recorded.

One of the most distinguishing traits about Briarcliffe Acres is its seclusion; even the entrance appears elusive despite its position along the busiest highway in Horry County. This type of privacy is rare along the Grand Strand and only adds to the town’s charm and beauty.

Briarcliffe Acres offers single-family homes nestled among a canopy of tall, verdant trees on generous sized lots. Residents of the community have done an excellent job of maintaining these homes over the years, and they boast high property values as a result. They consist of a variety of styles and range in price from the mid-$200s upward to $3 million dollars.

This tranquil community also offers residents awesome features like natural lake views and access to a private beach with personal cabanas. In addition, every home within Briarcliffe Acres is a quick stroll, bicycle ride, or golf cart adventure away from the beach.

While the location is private and serene, it’s also only moments from a variety of nearby shopping and dining venues. This winning combination offers residents the best of both worlds.

Visit the town’s website to read about the history of Briarcliffe Acres or to learn more information. You can also view available properties by clicking HERE.

North Myrtle Beach Communities: Barefoot Resort

by

We are venturing a bit north of Myrtle Beach today to discuss a beautiful neighborhood in North Myrtle Beach, SC: Barefoot Resort.

The Barefoot Resort community was created by four men (Greg Norman, Davis Love III, Tom Fazio, and Pete Dye) who were brought together by their love of golf. These golf experts developed a community comprised of several different neighborhoods around four separate golf courses.

Barefoot Resort neighborhoods include Coquina Pointe, Dye Estates, Cedar Creek, Leather Leaf at Barefoot Resort, and Bridle Ridge. Each neighborhood is tucked away from the busy streets of North Myrtle Beach and offers a peaceful serenity among South Carolina’s signature wetlands.

In addition to the individual amenities offered within each neighborhood, owners also have the option of becoming a member of Barefoot Resort’s country club. Services offered to members include use of the clubhouse, driving range, and tennis courts, as well as shuttle services. And if that’s not enough, some neighborhoods also offer the option to purchase a boat slip and use of the docks at the marina.

The surrounding golf courses have been listed in Golf Digest as one of  The Best Places to Stay, so if you’re looking to purchase an investment in the form of a vacation property or rental property, Barefoot Resort is the perfect location. It has the best of both worlds: a quiet retreat surrounded by luscious greens and located only a short distance from the sandy shores of Windy Hill.

Myrtle Beach Subdivisions: Pine Lakes

by

Pine Lakes is one of the oldest and most prestigious neighborhoods in the area and is centrally located in the heart of Myrtle Beach, South Carolina.

Located less than one mile from the only stretch of coastline without hotels, homes, or condominiums, residents aren’t far from a section of the beach that is often less crowded than others. Public access points are readily available and a trip to the beach can be quickly traveled by golf cart. In addition, there are a number of shopping centers, supermarkets, and award-winning restaurants conveniently located nearby.

Pine Lakes

Pine Lakes was established in 1927, and houses are surrounded by lush pine trees on large, shady lots. Many homes also enjoy pristine views of the golf course. Pine Lakes International Country Club (nicknamed “The Granddaddy”) is world famous and home to the oldest golf course in Myrtle Beach. The course was designed by architect, Robert White–who was also the first president of the Professional Golfers Association (PGA) of America and co-founder of the American Society of Golf Course Architects. Pine Lakes’ stately clubhouse is the definition of Southern charm, and its architecture symbolizes the deeply rooted history and tradition of South Carolina. The gorgeous landscaping and historical charm make Pine Lakes Country Club a highly coveted venue for weddings and receptions.
