Exciting New Housing Development Approved in North Myrtle Beach
North Myrtle Beach is buzzing with excitement as the city council has given the green light for a brand new housing project! On March 17, the council voted to approve a planned development district that will bring not just any homes, but a total of 137 single-family homes to a stunning 73-acre site along the beautiful Intracoastal Waterway. This is a big step forward for the area and will surely catch the interest of anyone looking for a little slice of paradise to call their own.
What’s in Store for the New Community?
The plans look pretty impressive! The new community is set to feature a community clubhouse, perfect for gatherings and events, and even pickleball courts for those looking to enjoy some outdoor fun. If you’ve got a furry friend, you’ll be happy to know there’s also a dog park in the mix! And for those who fancy some time on the water, there will be community boat docks – a great way to enjoy the Intracoastal Waterway.
Of those 137 lots, an exciting 35 will have direct access to the water, equipped with private docks! This means dreams of waterfront living can become a reality for many new residents. The housing designs are set to offer both two-story and three-story floor plans, catering to various preferences.
What Changed from Previous Plans?
Moreover, the current plan now encompasses an additional 25 acres, which includes a commitment to preserve nine acres of wetland and keep a 110-foot-wide power line right-of-way undisturbed. This thoughtful approach shows that the developers are keen on keeping a balance between progress and environmental responsibility.
Community Access and Improvements
Who’s Behind the Project?
While the specific developer has not been firmly established, the expectation is that it will be the esteemed Pulte Home Company taking the lead. They are set to contribute approximately $5,100 per unit in development fees, totaling around $683,400. This economic boost can help fund local services and infrastructure improvements.
Looking Ahead
In the midst of these developments, North Myrtle Beach is also making waves in local governance, with the search for a new city manager underway following the departure of the former manager. The application window for this key position closes on April 4, offering a competitive salary range of $220,000 to $250,000.
