Residents of Pine Ridge will enjoy easy access to the beaches, Murrells Inlet, Market Common, shopping, dining, healthcare, and the many attractions that make the southern Grand Strand one of the region's most desirable places to live. With its combination of a peaceful setting and excellent accessibility, the new home community of Pine Ridge has the potential to become one of the area's most significant future residential developments once it moves forward.
The established communities of Windsor Plantation and Queens Harbour are adjacent to where the new home community of Pine Ridge will be developed. Other new home communities in the immediate area include Grande Pines (Mungo Homes), Sayebrook (Pulte, Toll Brothers and Saussy Burbank), and The Cove at Glenns Bay (D. R. Horton).
Spanning more than 636 acres, Pine Ridge is planned as a large-scale master-planned community that will bring a significant mix of new housing opportunities to the Myrtle Beach area. Current development plans include more than 900 single-family homes along with more than 900 multi-family residences, creating a thoughtfully designed neighborhood intended to accommodate a variety of lifestyles and homebuyers. Once developed, Pine Ridge is expected to become one of the largest residential communities in the southern Myrtle Beach area.
