Cypress River Plantation offers gated living along the Waccamaw River

Along the Waccamaw River, Cypress River Plantation is a gated community west of Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. While this HOA-governed neighborhood sits less than 10 miles from the shore, residents don’t have to leave their neighborhood to access water. Day docks float on the river, which flows alongside some backyards. Other amenities include swimming pools, a clubhouse and 24-hour security. Plus, this community of custom homes is zoned for the highly ranked St. James pipeline of schools and lies near some of the area’s major roadways. “There’s something for everybody,” says Realtor Heather Brooks with eXp Realty LLC – Myrtle Beach, who has sold homes up and down South Carolina’s Grand Strand region. “There are a lot of families, and the whole community comes together.”

Waterfront outdoor spaces in and out of the neighborhood

This private community offers many amenities. A clubhouse with an indoor fitness center features two outdoor pools: a kiddie pool with a waterfall fountain and an Olympic-sized swimming pool. Residents can also take their kids to the playground or compete on the tennis and basketball courts. While many homeowners have private docks on their land, all residents can access community boat docks and a full-service marina on the Waccamaw River, part of the Intracoastal Waterway that flows from Virginia to Florida. It's also a short drive to the beach. About 9 miles away, the Pier at Garden City extends over the Atlantic Ocean from a public beach. At an arcade across the street, teenagers play Skee-Ball and tourists try their luck on the claw machine. Surfside Beach and Murrells Inlet, two other popular coastal areas, are less than 10 miles from Cypress River Plantation. Socastee Recreational Park covers more than 90 acres just outside Cypress River Plantation. Here, visitors can wander walking trails, practice on the archery range or disc golf course, play on the remote-controlled race car track or exercise on outdoor fitness equipment.
