South Carolina’s vibrant coastal town of Myrtle Beach is full of everything from entertainment and cultural amenities to a myriad of shopping and dining options.
Its convenient location to some of the South’s best beaches only adds to the area’s charm and makes it an idyllic location for active adults looking to retire along the east coast. Luckily, living in one of the most sought-after destinations in the Palmetto State doesn’t have to put a massive dent into retirement or savings accounts — there are numerous active adult communities in Myrtle Beach that offer affordable prices without cutting corners on amenities.
Below we’ve highlighted four of the most affordable retirement communities in Myrtle Beach.
Bridgewater - Myrtle Beach
High $100s - Low $300s
Spread throughout 540 acres, Chesapeake Homes’ Bridgewater community will feature a combination of 1,550 single-family and attached homes upon completion.
Potential residents can choose between 11 different floor plans that span between 1,586 to 2,860 square feet of living space. Plans feature two to five bedrooms, two to three-and-a-half bathrooms, and attached garages.
Final plans have the community’s list of amenities including a 5,000 square-foot clubhouse, great room, a number of multi-purpose rooms, and card room. There’s also a state-of-the-art fitness center for residents to use to help live a healthy, balanced life without ever having to leave the neighborhood.
Outdoor amenities include two resort-style pools, a patio, fire pit, gazebo and outdoor grill. Residents can take up gardening in the community garden, while their four-legged friends can run off access energy in the dog park along the walking and biking trails that wind throughout the property.
Berkshire Forest - Myrtle Beach
Low $200s - Low $300s
Myrtle Beach’s large Berkshire Forest community is set to have 1,500 single-family residences once it’s constructed.
