The Community
Three Communities. One Extraordinary Myrtlewood Address.
In the heart of Myrtle Beach, just off 38th Avenue North and Highway 17 Bypass, sits one of the Grand Strand’s most complete resort-style residential complexes: the Magnolia communities at Myrtlewood Golf Club. Magnolia Place, Magnolia North, and Magnolia Pointe are three distinct condo developments — built across different decades with their own architectural styles and amenity profiles — that together form one of the most versatile and accessible ownership opportunities on the entire Grand Strand.
What unifies them is the setting: all three communities wrap around Myrtlewood Golf Club’s 36-hole complex, giving nearly every unit a golf course view, a pond view, or both from a private balcony. The surrounding grounds are beautifully landscaped with mature trees, walking paths, flowering shrubs, and scenic ponds. Multiple pool areas are distributed throughout the complex. And the location is extraordinary — under a mile to the Atlantic Ocean, a mile to Broadway at the Beach, 10 minutes to the airport, and minutes from the Grand Strand’s best dining, shopping, and entertainment.
Whether the goal is a primary residence, a low-maintenance second home, or an income-producing short-term rental, the Magnolia communities deliver a combination of price point, amenities, and location that no comparably priced property on the Grand Strand can match. Inventory is active, units are frequently renovated and turnkey, and buyer demand across all three communities remains consistently strong.
“These condos are less than a mile to the beach and just minutes from Broadway at the Beach, shopping, dining, all the local nightlife, and the Myrtle Beach International Airport. Affordable and out of the tourist areas, it’s a great place to live.”

The Three Communities
Magnolia Place, North & Pointe — Which One Is Right for You?
Each Magnolia community has a distinct personality shaped by its construction era, building style, and available unit sizes. Understanding the differences helps buyers identify the right fit quickly.
Magnolia Place
The Classic
Built 1996 · Original Community
The original Magnolia development, distinguished by beautiful weeping-mortar brick exteriors. Offers 1- and 2-bedroom units sized 600–2,177 sq ft. Some buildings have elevators; some are three-story walk-ups. 7 outdoor pools community-wide, grilling areas, sidewalks, and direct golf course access. Median listing price ~$223K–$227K per Redfin. Short- and long-term rentals allowed. Pet-friendly. Popular for vacation rentals and primary residences alike. HOA covers insurance, water, sewer, cable, internet, landscaping, trash, exterior lighting, pool service, and security.
Magnolia North
The Modern Middle
Built 1999 · Second Generation
The second development added to Myrtlewood, with Hardi-Plank siding and brick trim. Offers 1-, 2-, and 3-bedroom units. Many units include single-car garages. Multiple ponds provide water views alongside golf course views. Pool and picnic areas. Median listing price ~$240K per Redfin. Both short-term and long-term rentals are allowed — one of relatively few complexes in the area offering this flexibility. Units up to 2,675 sq ft per neighborhoods.com. HOA covers grounds, pool maintenance, water, and cable.
Magnolia Pointe
The Upscale Newest
Built 2005+ · Newest & Most Premium
The most recently built and most upscale of the three — featuring elevators, private garages (including 2-car garages), vaulted 9–12-foot ceilings, crown molding, granite countertops, and oversized balconies. Units run 1,000–1,600 sq ft with 2- or 3-bedroom layouts. Beautifully landscaped ponds in newer sections. 7 pools, 2 clubhouses, walking trails around 2 lakes, grilling areas, 24-hour security, and onsite management. Median listing ~$284K per Redfin. STR and LTR allowed. HOA covers trash, water, sewer, pest control, internet, and basic cable.
Golf & Amenities
36 Holes of Championship Golf — Right Outside Your Door
🏌️
Myrtlewood Golf Club: Palmetto + PineHills Courses
Myrtlewood Golf Club’s two 18-hole courses are the heartbeat of the Magnolia community lifestyle. The Palmetto Course (Edmund Alt design) features spectacular Intracoastal Waterway views and one of Myrtle Beach’s most enjoyable layouts. The PineHills Course (Arthur Hills design) is a classic, fast-greens layout renovated in recent years. Both courses are immediately adjacent to the condo buildings — for residents, tee times are literally steps away. The complex also includes a driving range, indoor water park, and fitness facilities. Golf carts are allowed within the community, and the walk from most units to the first tee is measured in minutes, not miles.
Beyond golf, the Magnolia communities share one of the most comprehensive amenity packages of any condo development in central Myrtle Beach: 7 outdoor swimming pools distributed across the complex, 2 clubhouses, walking and biking trails around scenic community lakes, multiple grilling and picnic areas, beautifully maintained landscaping, and — in Magnolia Pointe — 24-hour security and an onsite management company. For owners who want a truly low-maintenance lifestyle, the HOA structure at all three communities is designed to remove the work of ownership entirely.
Investment Profile
The Short-Term Rental Opportunity — Priced for Access, Located for Performance
📈
Why the Magnolia Communities Are a Strong STR Investment
All three Magnolia communities allow both short-term and long-term rentals per multiple MLS disclosures and community sources. This is a significant advantage in central Myrtle Beach, where many condo communities restrict rental activity. Owners can rent via Airbnb, VRBO, or onsite management (Myrtlewood Villas offers onsite management for enrolled owners). The location — under a mile to the beach, 1 mile to Broadway at the Beach, 10 minutes to the airport — generates year-round rental demand from golfers, families, couples, and event travelers. Units sell fully furnished and turnkey, many with established rental histories. HOA fees are low relative to the income potential. Entry price points starting in the $150Ks make financing accessible and cap rates competitive with oceanfront properties at two to three times the purchase price.

🔑 Market Insight · Ramos Property Team by KW
The Magnolia communities at Myrtlewood are one of the most consistently undervalued investment opportunities in Myrtle Beach. A fully furnished, turnkey 2-bedroom condo on a 36-hole golf course, under a mile to the Atlantic Ocean, next to Broadway at the Beach, 10 minutes to the airport — for $180,000 to $275,000 — is genuinely difficult to parallel in any other coastal market in the country. Buyers who understand this make decisions quickly. Units in all three communities sell in 69–108 days on average per Redfin, but the best-positioned, best-renovated units move significantly faster.

Location & Commute
Perfectly Centered — Everything Within Minutes
The Magnolia communities’ position at 38th Avenue North and Highway 17 Bypass places them at the heart of Myrtle Beach’s most activity-dense corridor. Broadway at the Beach is literally a mile away. The airport is 10 minutes south. The beach is under a mile east. Restaurant Row is minutes away. This is as central a Myrtle Beach address as exists.

Golf carts are permitted within the Myrtlewood complex. For residents who want to reach the beach without a car, the golf cart route along residential streets is the preferred method. Myrtlewood’s location is intentionally positioned away from the congested Ocean Boulevard tourist corridor — giving residents the benefits of central Myrtle Beach without the summer gridlock of the beachfront strip.
Things to Do
Golf, Beach, Broadway — the Complete Resort Lifestyle
⛳
36 Holes at Myrtlewood — Walk from Your Front Door
Myrtlewood’s Palmetto and PineHills courses are the community’s primary daily draw. Whether you’re a 5-handicap or playing once a month, having two championship 18-hole courses — with a driving range — accessible on foot or golf cart from your condo is one of those lifestyle advantages that doesn’t lose its appeal over time.
🏖️
Beach Access Under a Mile
The Atlantic Ocean is under a mile from the Magnolia complex — a very short drive or golf cart ride via 38th Avenue. Central Myrtle Beach beach accesses are convenient, and the community’s position west of the resort corridor means residents reach the sand without navigating the summer hotel zone.
🎭
Broadway at the Beach — 1 Mile Away
The Grand Strand’s most complete entertainment destination is a 3-minute drive: TopGolf, Ripley’s Aquarium, dozens of restaurants, live music, Dave & Buster’s, Pavilion Park, and a full year-round event calendar. Magnolia residents describe Broadway at the Beach as effectively their entertainment backyard — accessible on a Tuesday evening as easily as a summer Saturday.
🏊
7 Community Pools + Indoor Water Park
The Magnolia communities collectively share 7 outdoor swimming pools distributed across the complex. Myrtlewood Golf Club also includes an indoor water park and fitness center available to owners enrolled in the rental program — making year-round recreational access genuinely comprehensive without leaving the community.
🚶
Walking & Biking Trails Around 2 Lakes
Scenic walking and biking trails around two community lakes are woven through the Magnolia complex. Morning walks with water views and wildlife sightings are a daily ritual for permanent residents. The beautifully maintained grounds make this one of the most pleasant residential environments in central Myrtle Beach.
🛍️
World-Class Shopping Immediately Accessible
Coastal Grande Mall (Costco, Target, Best Buy) is 5 minutes south. Tanger Outlets with 100+ brands is 10–15 minutes north. Kroger, Walmart, and daily essentials are all within easy reach of the Hwy 17 Bypass location. Residents describe the shopping convenience as one of the community’s most underrated daily advantages.
🎰
The Full Grand Strand Entertainment Calendar
The Carolina Opry, Alabama Theatre, Pirate Voyage, and a packed year-round entertainment calendar are all minutes from the complex. Myrtle Beach’s famous live entertainment scene — a year-round draw that most beach destinations can’t claim — is accessible from Magnolia without a significant drive in any season.
✈️
Airport Convenience for Second-Home Owners
Myrtle Beach International Airport is 10 minutes south via Hwy 17 Bypass — one of the most airport-convenient residential addresses in all of Myrtle Beach. For second-home buyers who fly in regularly for extended stays or to check on rental properties, this proximity transforms the logistics of Myrtle Beach ownership.
Where to Eat & Drink
Restaurant Row, Broadway, and the Grand Strand’s Best Tables — All a Short Drive
The Magnolia community’s central location gives residents access to two of Myrtle Beach’s most concentrated dining corridors simultaneously: Restaurant Row on Kings Highway and the Broadway at the Beach entertainment complex — both within 5 minutes. The sheer variety of options within a 10-minute radius is one of the most consistently cited advantages of the Myrtlewood address.

New Owners’ Guide
Buying into Magnolia at Myrtlewood — What to Know First
Before You Close and After You Move In
- Understand exactly which community you’re buying into. Magnolia Place, Magnolia North, and Magnolia Pointe each have their own HOA, amenity profile, building style, and rules. Before closing, obtain and read the full HOA documents for your specific community — including fee amounts, what’s included, rental rules, and pet policies.
- Confirm STR permissions for your specific building. While all three communities broadly allow short-term rentals, specific building rules may apply. Confirm with the HOA in writing before closing if STR income is a primary consideration in your purchase.
- HOA fees cover more than you think. Building insurance, water, sewer, cable, internet, trash, pool maintenance, and landscaping are all included across the three communities. Factor this into your cost-of-ownership calculation — what you’re paying out of pocket for utilities and maintenance in your current home disappears here.
- Evaluate the floor and building position carefully. Top-floor units with vaulted ceilings command the best views and the highest rental premiums. Corner units offer more natural light and privacy. End units in Magnolia North and Pointe often have superior views. These distinctions matter significantly for both personal enjoyment and STR performance.
- Book a round at both Myrtlewood courses. The Palmetto and PineHills courses each have a completely different character and layout. Play both in your first month and identify which one becomes your regular round — most residents develop a strong preference.
- Get a golf cart. The complex’s walkways and adjacent streets are golf-cart friendly. A cart changes daily life here — beach runs, pool visits, clubhouse trips, and evening rides through the beautifully lit fairways all become casual rather than planned.
- If investing, research property management options. Myrtlewood Villas offers onsite management for enrolled owners. You can also use any property management company you choose. Get rate quotes from multiple providers and compare their fee structures, booking reach, and maintenance response times before committing.
- School enrollment. Myrtle Beach Primary, Elementary, Middle, and High Schools serve this address. Contact Horry County Schools before the school year to complete enrollment and explore magnet and open enrollment options.
Who Lives Here
Who Are the Magnolia Communities Right For?
The Magnolia communities draw four distinct buyer profiles — all of whom find something uniquely suited to their needs in the combination of price, location, amenities, and rental flexibility.
The golf lifestyle buyer who wants to wake up, walk to the first tee, play 18 holes, and return to their condo in time for a pool afternoon — all without a car. There is no more accessible golf lifestyle at this price point anywhere on the Grand Strand. Two championship courses, a driving range, a friendly clubhouse, and a community of like-minded residents: Magnolia at Myrtlewood is golf course living distilled to its most enjoyable form.
The STR investor who understands that a sub-$300,000 turnkey condo with golf course views, a full resort amenity package, under a mile to the ocean, and 1 mile to Broadway at the Beach generates strong occupancy rates year-round — not just in summer. The combination of location, price, and flexibility makes the Magnolia communities one of the most accessible and consistently performing investment opportunities in the Myrtle Beach market.
The second-home buyer who wants a low-maintenance coastal retreat that does the work of a vacation property: already furnished, professionally managed when not in use, generating rental income to offset carrying costs, and available for personal use with a flight and a 10-minute drive from the airport. The HOA handles everything else.
The downsizing retiree or active adult who wants to eliminate the work of homeownership without sacrificing lifestyle. Golf steps away. Pools in the community. Beach nearby. Broadway down the street. Restaurants within walking distance of the clubhouse. And a price point that often allows a full cash purchase from the proceeds of a larger home sale in the Northeast or Midwest — with money to spare.
