About Cresswind Myrtle Beach

Cresswind Myrtle Beach is in Myrtle Beach, in the Grand Strand & Myrtle Beach region of South Carolina. Developer: Kolter Homes. Status: Open. Marketed as a 55+ active-adult community; the age and occupancy rules are set in its governing documents.

Cresswind Myrtle Beach is a single-family-home community of about 248 acres in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, built under the Cresswind brand of Kolter Homes. The community's own association website describes it as the only fully amenitized, active adult community within Market Common, a major shopping, dining and entertainment center. The entrance is less than a mile from The Market Common, so errands, restaurants and entertainment do not require a long drive and the association site puts the Myrtle Beach Boardwalk about 15 minutes away, Murrells Inlet's seafood restaurants about 20 minutes away, Wilmington about 90 minutes away and Charleston about two hours away.

Kolter's Cresswind pages describe the brand as a set of 55+ communities across the Southeast, say that every Cresswind community is designed for residents 55 and older and that each has a full-time lifestyle director. The brand's lifestyle program is called Set Yourself FREE, built on fitness, relationships, education and entertainment. The association site lists classes and programs ranging from fitness and nutrition to crafts and cards, along with volunteer and enrichment opportunities. Cresswind Myrtle Beach is not among the communities currently listed on Kolter's active Cresswind locations page, so buyers should expect to work with resale listings and the association rather than a builder sales center. Read the Myrtle Beach place page for the city-level tax, evacuation-zone and healthcare picture, and the 55-plus community versus conventional neighborhood guide for the tradeoffs of age-targeted neighborhoods.

Dues, the association budget and the recorded covenants are member documents. Ask the association's management company for them before you make an offer. The association site also describes over 30 golf courses within 10 miles, naming Legends Resort, Myrtlewood and Grande Dunes Golf Club, and convenient boating, sailing, kayaking and fishing on the Atlantic Ocean and the Intracoastal Waterway.
