Cresswind Myrtle Beach

Cresswind Myrtle Beach is a 55+ active adult community of 400 single-family homes developed by Kolter Homes in the coveted Market Common area of Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. Built between 2013 and 2022, the community was named one of the Top 50 Best Master-Planned Communities by Where to Retire magazine and was the best-selling active adult community in Myrtle Beach in 2015. Its defining features are location and lifestyle: the entrance sits less than one mile from Market Common, meaning residents can walk, bike, or take a golf cart to shopping, dining, a movie theater, bowling alley, and brewery, and roll right on through to Myrtle Beach State Park and the Atlantic Ocean. The heart of the community is The Club, a 12,500 sq ft clubhouse that functions as the social hub. Inside you'll find a fitness center with modern cardio and weight equipment, an aerobics and yoga studio, arts and crafts studio, demonstration kitchen for chef demos and cooking classes, billiards room, card room, computer room, locker rooms, and two multi-purpose rooms that host holiday parties and club meetings. Outdoors, residents enjoy a resort-style pool and spa, four pickleball courts, a tennis court, bocce ball courts, horseshoe pits, a grilling area, an outdoor amphitheater for movies and concerts, an event lawn, outdoor fireplaces, a fire pit, and a network of walking and biking trails winding through greenbelts and lakes. A full-time Lifestyle Director keeps the calendar packed — clubs include billiards, bocce, bridge, cards, bingo, Bible study, fishing, quilting, a walking club, chef demonstrations, community outreach, dessert and coffee socials, Saturday night suppers, water aerobics, and yoga. Homes come from two design collections by Kolter — nine total floorplans ranging from roughly 1,460 to over 2,900 sq ft, with 2 to 4 bedrooms, 2-car garages, and one- or two-story layouts. Standard features include granite countertops, hardwood flooring, GE appliances, designer cabinets, crown molding, tiled baths with oversized showers, tray ceilings, covered lanais, HardiPlank siding with a 50-year warranty, Therma-Tru fiberglass front doors, and Andersen Low-E windows. Many homes sit on lakefront, wooded conservation, or preserve lots. The monthly HOA covers lawn maintenance, irrigation, basic cable, WiFi/internet, trash, common grounds, and a monitored security system on each home — a maintenance-free lifestyle by design. Beyond the gates, the location is a genuine differentiator. Myrtle Beach International Airport is 10 minutes away, Grand Strand Regional Medical Center is 15 minutes, Tidelands Health Medical Park at Market Common is minutes away, and Murrells Inlet's seafood-famous Marsh Walk is about 20 minutes south. More than 30 golf courses sit within 10 miles, including Legends Resort, Myrtlewood, and Grande Dunes. Charleston is two hours south and Wilmington 90 minutes north. With an average year-round temperature of 74 degrees and the Atlantic Ocean a golf cart ride away, Cresswind offers coastal active adult living with an urban-adjacent Market Common twist that most 55+ communities can't match.
