Character

Unpretentious, year-round residential community with tree-shaded streets, established landscaping, and a mix of brick ranches and vinyl-sided single-family homes. The community has long served Horry County's working families and middle-income buyers.

History

Residential development in the Forestbrook area began in the 1980s as Horry County's population began its gradual expansion westward from the beach. The area filled in through the 1990s and 2000s, and while growth has slowed, the established character and school zone continue to attract buyers.
