The Leo Myrtle Beach 55+ sits in the quiet Carolina Forest area of Myrtle Beach and is built for adults aged 55 and older who want a lively community without all the chores that come with owning a house. The apartments here offer one- and two-bedroom options that range in size from 760 to 1,384 square feet, and each home comes with high-end finishes, like granite countertops, wood flooring, and stainless steel GE appliances. The floor plans are open and roomy, with touches like 12-foot ceilings in some first-floor units, big walk-in closets, and private patios or balconies in select layouts. Every apartment has its own washer and dryer, and there are apartments with kitchen pantries, entertainment islands, and hard surface floors for easy maintenance. The whole community is designed to be pet-friendly, with a dog park and plenty of green courtyards where people can walk or just sit and relax.
The shared spaces at The Leo start with a greeting room and lounge by the lobby, where neighbors often gather to visit and warm up by the fireplace, and there's a clubhouse with an entertainment kitchen, game room with card tables and billiards, a craft room for creative projects, and a media room with a popcorn machine for movie nights. The building provides a 24-hour fitness center, including a yoga space, so you can keep active rain or shine, and you'll find rentable cowork spaces and a conference room if you want private work time or meetings. The outside's got a resort-style pool with a spa, shaded cabanas, a fire pit, outdoor kitchen, and pretty courtyards with lake views. You'll also find a library, gathering hall with a projection screen for community events, and places for art, cooking, or dance classes. Parking's easy with a lot out front, and there are storage spaces to rent if you need extra room for your belongings.
Residents pay attention to security, and enjoy central heat and air, smoke detectors, and storm windows. Water and sewer utility costs are covered, and the apartments are all built on a slab, with a single-level layout that makes moving around easier. The community opened in 2024, so the buildings and features are fairly new, and even though there are options for furnished apartments, most homes come unfurnished so you can make the space your own. The Leo Myrtle Beach 55+ aims to offer comfortable and easy living in a friendly, active environment for older adults who want social choices nearby, along with modern comforts and a bit of coastal charm.
