Myrtle Trace South

Myrtle Trace South sits in Conway, South Carolina, near Myrtle Beach and close to the coast, surrounded by mature trees, lakes, and ponds, with some homes looking out over the Burning Ridge Golf Course, and there's a community center, a clubhouse with a kitchen and library, a saltwater pool, bocce ball, shuffleboard, horseshoe pits, an outdoor basketball court, and lots of walking paths for folks who like the outdoors, and with so many scheduled daily activities, things like potluck dinners, movie and game nights, a garden club, chorus, and even resident-run events like a bowling league and golf groups, people find it easy to stay busy if they want to. The community has about 1/8-acre lots and mostly single-level, single-family homes built with cedar siding, brick, or vinyl, and there's off-street parking and homes with gable roofs, all built with good condition and easy to get around in, and some homes border lakes or quiet wooded areas for scenic views. There's an Activities Committee that organizes social events, while a five-person Board of Directors works with committees like the ARC and Property Committee to keep things running, and residents elect the board. Myrtle Trace South has age restrictions, with households needing at least one resident 55 or older, and the whole place feels neighborly with a focus on active retirement and folks looking for a peaceful but engaging setting. There are community amenities like a dining room, options for all-day and restaurant-style dining, services like allergy-sensitive meals, laundry, dry cleaning, housekeeping, concierge, and even move-in coordination, and families can get help through family support services. For those who need it, there's supervision and personal assistance for things like bathing, dressing, and managing medicine, a 24-hour call system to help keep everyone safe, and care for dementia, assisted living, nursing home, and respite, so people with more health needs don't get left out, and there's a secure setting designed to keep everyone, including those with memory issues, engaged and safe. Residents can enjoy things like music programs, an arts and activity room, a movie room, a fitness room, a spa and sauna, library facilities, outdoor programs, and resident-run clubs, and nearby there are shopping centers, grocery stores, medical offices, and entertainment all within about a mile, making errands pretty convenient, and with independent living options and a focus on continuing care. Home prices usually run from $208,000 to $290,000, and the homes are about 1,884 square feet with 1 bathroom, electric heat pumps for heating, and central air, and the whole community covers just over 5 acres, giving people enough room while still feeling like part of a close group. The setting remains peaceful with lots of natural beauty, plenty of ways to get involved, and a long-standing reputation as a place where people who are 55 and over can keep active, enjoy golf, and live in a secure and friendly environment.
