News Title:On Tuesday May 19, 2026, the North Myrtle Beach Planning Commission reviewed the major preliminary subdivision plat creating 17 residential lots off of Hillside Drive.
North Myrtle Beach stands out as one of the most desirable areas along the Grand Strand, blending timeless coastal charm with a more relaxed and upscale atmosphere than its busier neighbor, Myrtle Beach. Known for its wide, pristine beaches, welcoming community feel, and laid-back coastal lifestyle, North Myrtle Beach offers an ideal mix of vacation excitement and everyday livability. Residents and visitors alike enjoy boating, waterfront dining along the Intracoastal Waterway, live music and shag dancing on Main Street, and a vibrant year-round calendar of festivals, concerts, and community events.
Developers are seeking to build a new home community in North Myrtle Beach on a 5.24 acre parcel of land located between 16th Avenue North and 18th Avenue North and between Hillside Drive and Springfield Lane.
The location of this new home community is exceptional — just a short stroll from the beach and close to everything that makes coastal living in North Myrtle Beach so desirable.
With very little undeveloped land remaining near the ocean in North Myrtle Beach, opportunities for new residential development in prime coastal locations have become increasingly rare. Over the past several decades, much of the area near the beach has already been built out with established neighborhoods, resorts, vacation homes, and commercial destinations, making large undeveloped tracts especially valuable. This property represents one of the last remaining parcels in the area positioned for future development near the coast, creating a unique opportunity for a thoughtfully planned new community in one of the Grand Strand’s most sought-after locations.
This property is currently zoned Single-Family Residential Low-Density (R-1) and is located within the jurisdiction of the city of North Myrtle Beach. In North Myrtle Beach, the intent of the R-1 zoning district is to preserve the character of established residential neighborhoods and limit more intensive development.
The preliminary plans for this new home community in North Myrtle Beach are proposing a new subdivision of 17 residential lots. Preliminary plans are showing the smallest lot in this new home community to be approximately 10,771 square feet and the largest lot to be approximately 15,941 square feet.
As of May 2026, no further details on the builder, timing, home designs or pricing have been announced.
