News Title:Lennar’s Grande Dunes Expansion: Maravilla Joins the Final Wave of New Home Communities
Lennar continues to make its mark on the new home market in the Grande Dunes area, and the builder’s growing presence is becoming increasingly significant as this prestigious master-planned community enters the final stages of development. With plans for Maravilla taking shape at the corner of 76th Avenue North and Highway 17, Lennar is positioning itself at the forefront of one of the last major waves of new home construction within Grande Dunes.
The upcoming Maravilla community adds another important piece to Lennar’s expanding Grande Dunes portfolio. The builder has been selling single-family homes in Beach View at Grande Dunes since 2025 and is expected to announce plans for Islewater at Grande Dunes, an additional community of 86 single-family homes, within the next few weeks. Now, with Maravilla joining the mix, Lennar is playing an integral role in shaping the final chapters of new home development in one of the Myrtle Beach area’s most recognized coastal communities.
Grande Dunes Enters Its Final Stages of Development
Grande Dunes is a 2,200-acre mixed-use, master-planned community that is home to more than 2,300 families and is widely regarded as one of the most prestigious communities in the Myrtle Beach area. Stretching along both the Intracoastal Waterway and the Atlantic Ocean, Grande Dunes offers an exceptional mix of luxury homes, condominiums, villas, golf, and coastal amenities.
Its central location places residents within easy reach of the area’s beaches, shopping, dining, medical facilities, and entertainment. After more than two decades of development, however, the availability of new home opportunities within the master-planned community is becoming increasingly limited.
That makes the emergence of Maravilla particularly noteworthy. While Grande Dunes continues to evolve, new communities of this scale—including Cascadia by Toll Brothers, Islecrest by Dream Finders Homes, and Promenade by Dream Finders Homes—are helping shape the final wave of residential development within this exceptional master-planned community.
Lennar’s Growing Grande Dunes Presence
Lennar’s role in the final stages of Grande Dunes is substantial. The builder is already active in Beach View at Grande Dunes, where single-family homes have been selling since 2025. Its upcoming Islewater community is expected to bring another 86 single-family homes to the Grande Dunes landscape, further expanding Lennar’s presence in the area.
Now, Maravilla adds 62 more single-family homes to the builder’s Grande Dunes lineup.
Taken together, these communities highlight the extent of Lennar’s involvement in the final stages of new home development within Grande Dunes. Rather than simply participating in one of the community’s remaining residential opportunities, Lennar is emerging as a major builder across multiple new home neighborhoods as Grande Dunes approaches the completion of its long residential development story.
Maravilla Takes Shape at Highway 17 and 76th Avenue North
Land clearing and infrastructure work have been ongoing for several months at the future site of Maravilla, located at the southeast corner of 76th Avenue North and Highway 17. Model homes and spec homes are on the way, adding to the anticipation surrounding this upcoming Lennar community.
An approximate 14.26-acre parcel has been subdivided into 62 single-family home lots. These lots range in size from approximately 5,962 to 11,790 square feet, providing the foundation for a new residential neighborhood in a highly desirable section of Grande Dunes.
As construction progresses, Maravilla is poised to become an important addition to the collection of new home communities taking shape within this exceptional coastal setting.
A Convenient Location in the Heart of Grande Dunes
Maravilla will offer a highly convenient location just off Highway 17, neighboring the established communities of Northwood, Siena Park, and Seville. The community is also only minutes from Grand Strand Medical Center, shopping, dining, and the beach.
Several other new home communities are located nearby, including Islecrest by Dream Finders Homes and Islewater by Lennar, both situated on the opposite side of Highway 17 from Maravilla.
The location places Maravilla within a growing concentration of new home opportunities in the Grande Dunes area, while also providing convenient access to the broader Myrtle Beach market.
The community is also located near the Cane Patch golf facility. The Cane Patch Par 3 originally opened in 1980 with three distinct par-3 golf courses before permanently closing in October 2017. Although the par-3 course is no longer in operation, the Cane Patch Driving Range remains open as a popular local practice facility.
Maravilla: One of the Last New Home Opportunities in Grande Dunes
With Lennar already selling in Beach View, plans for Islewater expected to be announced soon, and Maravilla now taking shape, the builder’s expanding presence is one of the more noteworthy developments in the final stages of Grande Dunes.
The upcoming Maravilla community will offer 62 single-family homes in a location that combines convenient access to Highway 17 with proximity to the amenities and attractions that have made Grande Dunes such a sought-after place to live.
Lennar is expected to announce plans for Maravilla in the next few weeks. Details regarding pricing, floorplans, and the anticipated sales timeline have not yet been released.
As more information becomes available, Maravilla will be one to watch for buyers interested in new construction within the final stages of Grande Dunes. Homes for sale in Maravilla
