Part of The Preserve
Retreat is one of three neighborhoods within The Preserve, a 110-acre master-planned community on Highway 31 in North Myrtle Beach.
Overview
Paired villas, a central park, and a genuinely neighborly feel
Retreat is largely paired villas, built close enough that you actually get to know your neighbors. A central park runs the length of the community, designed to feel like a living room at human scale, not a leftover strip of grass.
Low-maintenance by design: Retreat, like all of The Preserve, is HOA-maintained to keep the neighborhood looking beautiful for years to come. Two product types (Court Villa and Garden Row) give buyers who want the coastal lifestyle without the upkeep a real choice.
Streets designed for walking, not just driving.
Deliberately narrow. Deliberately shaded. Deliberately lined with sidewalks and covered entries. Shallow setbacks bring homes close enough to wave. Street trees provide shade from day one. The result feels more like a village than a subdivision.
"Every street feels like a neighborhood park."
Built to feel like it belongs here.
Material and color standards mean the street reads as a whole. Street tree requirements mean the canopy fills in on schedule.
The design standards are not restrictions. They are the reason the neighborhood feels the way it does.
Life lived outdoors.
Shaded sidewalks. Porches along green space close enough for conversation. Neighbors you recognize on the walk to the pool. The beach air carries into every corner of the community.
Vacation, every day.
The Preserve is designed around the walk — under a shaded canopy, past neighbors on their porches, toward the coast. Every detail is built to feel like a weekend, not a commute.
The difference is structural. It is in the setback dimensions, the street widths, the tree spacing, the porch requirements — a pattern that creates a feeling, not just a place to live.
