Carolina Forest is one of the most popular communities in the Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, area. Located about halfway between Myrtle Beach and Conway on Highway 501, it sits far enough inland to be affordable, yet close enough to enjoy all the amenities of the beach — from shopping and dining to nightlife and live shows.
The Forest is a 9,000-acre landscaped community with its own high school, middle school, and elementary school. A shopping center anchors the entrance, and many doctors, dentists, and other businesses have located here to serve residents. With Coastal Carolina University and Horry-Georgetown Technical College right around the corner, Carolina Forest can be considered almost a self-contained community.
Carolina Forest is built around three golf courses — The Man O’War, The Wizard, and The Witch — all designed by world-famous architect Dan Maples. Its neighborhoods are designed for a range of family sizes and price points and are woven together by lakes, inlets, and nature trails. Popular neighborhoods include Springlake, Covington Lake, Bellegrove Oaks, and Avalon, while more exclusive areas include Plantation Lakes, Waterway Palms, and Waterford Plantation.
With friendly neighbors, sidewalks for kids to bike to school, and convenient options for joggers and walkers, Carolina Forest offers a home for nearly every budget — and may be one of the best investments in the Grand Strand. Detailed pages for every Carolina Forest neighborhood are available on this site.
