News Title: Ashton Woods has announced the models and the pricing for the new homes in Blue Heron Retreat in North Myrtle Beach
Ashton Woods continues to work towards a timeline that will start presales in Blue Heron Retreat in the early part of the summer of 2025.

Current plans from Ashton Woods in Blue Heron Retreat are showing approximately 74 single family homes - named the Blue Heron Retreat: Oasis Series. Within the Blue Heron Retreat: Oasis Series of single family homes, preliminary plans from Ashton Woods are showing 43 these single family homes to be situated along the Intracoastal Waterway. Preliminary plans from Ashton Woods are also showing an additional 210 villas (Blue Heron Retreat: Villas) – some with pond views. Future community amenities in Blue Heron Retreat by Ashton Woods will be a swimming pool, pickleball courts and a day dock on the Intracoastal Waterway.

A new home community location along the Intracoastal Waterway is obviously appealing, but proximity to the Robert Edge Parkway that feeds right into the heart of North Myrtle Beach likely further increases that appeal. Robert Edge Parkway extends from SC Highway 90 west to US Highway 17 at Main Street in North Myrtle Beach and includes a bridge over the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway and an interchange at Carolina Bays Parkway. The Robert Edge Parkway (named after Robert Edge) opened in September 2009 and was the final project in Horry County’s initial Road Improvement and Development Effort (RIDE) program.
