Seagate Village blends midcentury charm with modern convenience

Seagate Village was military housing for the Myrtle Beach Air Force Base in the 1950s and has transformed into a conveniently located suburban enclave for retirees, young families and college students, all while keeping its midcentury charm. Its main draw sits next door: The Market Common, a popular mixed-use shopping plaza with dozens of stores, restaurants and amenities. It’s so close that many Seagate residents drive their golf carts there where they can do everything from grocery runs to lunch dates.

Residents can enjoy restaurants like Co Sushi at The Market Common.

How home ownership and HOA’s work in Seagate Village

Seagate Village’s homes are mostly midcentury-era ranch-style duplexes with driveways and carports or garages. Some homes are detached and have the same features along with small front porches. Lawns are landscaped with grass and mature trees, and sidewalks are plentiful. The median price is around $230,000.

Home ownership is structured similarly to traditional condo ownership and there is an HOA with an office in the neighborhood, which is “very, very nice,” says Misty Greenway, a Realtor with Beach & Forest Realty who has lived in Myrtle Beach since 2000 and sells throughout the city. “A lot of communities don’t have that. So, if residents have an issue, they can just pop in.” The HOA covers typical services like structural insurance, tree maintenance, driveways, roofs, exterior paint and less common elements like windows, “which a lot of HOAs don’t cover,” Greenway says.

HOA fees are based on the size of the unit, with two-bedroom homes costing about $340 a month and three-bedroom homes costing about $440. They do not cover any utilities; residents are responsible for electricity, water and sewer. The HOA also requires approval before residents can build backyard fences.

Regarding crime, Seagate Village scores 2 out of 10 on the CAP Index, two points lower than the national average.

The Market Common, parks and amenities are very close by

Seagate Village is located just a few blocks from The Market Common, a popular, sprawling mixed-use shopping plaza that regularly draws locals from across the city. Major retailers are also located just outside of the shopping center, including Food Lion. Residents are close enough that they can drive their golf carts to shop and dine out; a big plus for many, especially retirees, Greenway says. “Grocery stores, restaurants, entertainment—anything they need is a golf cart ride away.”

The Market Common offers:

  • Popular stores like Orvis, Pottery Barn, Barnes & Noble and Anthropologie
  • Restaurants offering sushi, pizza, crepes or seafood
  • A 14-screen movie theater, bowling alley, yoga studio and EdVenture Children’s Museum, which features interactive educational exhibits for young kids
  • Regular events like game nights, happy hours and live music.
To stay active, Seagate residents can use the amenities center at The Market Common for a yearly membership fee. The center features a resort-style pool with a lazy river, two on-site spas, a full gym and a kiddie pool.

There are several options for outdoor recreation nearby, including Myrtle Beach State Park, which is just outside the neighborhood off South Kings Highway. It has a nature trail, fishing pier, picnic areas and campgrounds. Barc Parc is a large green space for dogs to run and play, and the Grand Park Athletic Complex has multiple ball fields. The city’s beaches and buzzy tourist spots are within a few miles. Golfers can tee off at The Aero Club, a semi-private 18-hole course about 2 miles from the neighborhood.

Kids can attend Horry County schools, technical college nearby

Horry County Schools serves the area, is highly rated and offers school choice through a mix of magnet schools, open enrollment and out of district transfers. Magnet placements are lottery based or via program application. Open enrollment depends on space available and inter district transfers are approved only if the destination school isn't at capacity.

Horry-Georgetown Technical College is a two-year community/technical school located between the neighborhood and The Market Common. It offers more than 80 associate degree, diploma, and certificate programs, and its proximity to the neighborhood draws students, Greenway says, “because they can literally walk to school.”

What to know about flood risk and hurricane preparedness

Seagate Village has a minor risk of flooding. However, in the event of flooding, the HOA fees cover water damage to the outside of buildings. Residents are encouraged to purchase separate insurance to cover their belongings, though it is not mandatory. Myrtle Beach is vulnerable to hurricanes and the city has resources on its official website that help residents stay prepared for major storms.

Getting around by golf cart, highway or airplane

Golf carts are allowed within the community, and licensed drivers over 16 years old can take them to The Market Common during daylight hours. Per city regulations, golf carts can be driven anywhere within 4 miles of a resident’s home on secondary roads where the speed limit is 35 miles per hour or less.
