Heritage Park at Longs

Heritage Park at Longs is a gated 55+ active adult community nestled in the quiet coastal town of Longs, South Carolina, offering an appealing blend of affordable new construction and Grand Strand coastal living. Developed by Chesapeake Homes (with its sister brand Bridgewater Homes also building here) starting in 2021, the community is planned for 486 single-family homes and remains under active construction, giving buyers the ability to purchase new builds, quick move-ins, and personalized floor plans alongside an established and growing neighbor base. The homes themselves lean into coastal-inspired architecture — covered front porches, open great rooms, tray ceilings, optional gas fireplaces, and outdoor living spaces built for South Carolina's sunshine. Nine core floor plans are offered: The Shorebreak, The Coastline, The Boardwalk, The Cherry Grove, The Seaspray, The Hibiscus, The Sycamore, The Willow, and The Kiawah, with additional plans like the Indigo and Primrose appearing in recent listings. Models range from around 1,260 to over 2,800 square feet with two to four bedrooms, first-floor owner's suites, optional second-floor lofts, gourmet island kitchens, walk-in closets, and two-car garages (with three-car options on select plans). Energy-efficient construction is a signature of Chesapeake Homes, whose ecoSelect building process is used throughout the community. Lifestyle at Heritage Park centers on low-key, vacation-style coastal living rather than mega-resort amenities. The community features an outdoor pool with a covered pavilion, two pickleball courts, bocce ball, a dog park, and sidewalks winding throughout the neighborhood for evening strolls. A clubhouse/gathering area anchors the social scene, and a full-time activities director plans events and organizes interest groups — an unusually resident-focused touch for a community this size and price point. The overall feel is small, friendly, and walkable, with the gated entrance adding privacy and a sense of enclosed neighborhood identity. Location is one of Heritage Park's strongest selling points. Sitting just off Highway 9, residents are about 15 minutes from Cherry Grove Beach, Loris, and North Myrtle Beach's Main Street, and roughly 30 minutes from the full Myrtle Beach entertainment corridor. Myrtle Beach International Airport is approximately 40 minutes away. Golf is everywhere you look — The Long Bay Golf Club, Barefoot Resort & Golf, Grande Dunes, and Surf Golf & Beach Club are all within easy driving distance. For daily life, Kroger, Food Lion, and Publix are nearby, along with Walgreens and CVS, and healthcare is well covered by Grand Strand Medical Center, Little River Medical Center, and McLeod Health Seacoast Hospital. The broader Longs area is historically tied to the Long family settlers and sits within Horry County's Grand Strand region, offering a quieter, more affordable alternative to buying directly in Myrtle Beach while keeping the coast firmly in reach.
