Wild Wing Plantation (Myrtle Beach, Conway: for sale, to rent, HOA)

[kc8268]

Hello,

I was wondering if anyone has any information on Wild Wings Plantation in Conway. My family is looking into different subdivisions in the area. We would prefer a gated community which I understand WW is not. Our budget would be around $250,000 which does not go very far, however, we are also looking into the possibility of building. My husband currently owns his own construction company in CT. Schools are also very important because we have two still in elementary school. Thanks!

My concern with Wild Wing would be traffic. The primary (and maybe the only) entrance/exit is on 501 in one of the most congested areas of the highway. On weekends in the summer it would be very difficult to get anywhere quickly. Even during the off season, that area of the highway backs up during the morning and evening commutes. Of course, coming from CT you might not consider the traffic that bad but once you settle in here, it will gradually come to be an irritant.

This house fits within your budget and is in a gated community in an area of good schools. The community is not as upscale as Wild Wing but has a community pool and only has 49 houses.

You may also want to consider Arrowhead Grande which is also gated but you may have trouble finding something in your price range. There are still houses being built there. Arrowhead Grand Homes For Sale | Myrtle Beach Homes
The non-gated part of Arrowhead also is a nice place to live with houses in your price range.

My other piece of advice is to consider renting for the first year to be sure that you like Myrtle Beach and the area in which you rent. It also gives you time to fully explore the area to determine where you would spend most of your time with activities, etc.

Thanks so much for your quick and detailed response ctyankee. I think it would be smart to rent also, it just tempting when I see a decently priced lot. We have been thinking about moving for years. It’s hard to leave family but we are totally over New England winters. Arrowhead Grande looks amazing, but the properties are pretty pricey. The HOA is also very high depending on where in the development you live. I would hope all the amenities and then some would be included in that.
Happy New Year!

Besides traffic, are there any other pros/cons concerning this neighborhood? How's the HOAs? My wife and I are debating between a home here and perhaps Sago plantation and how the Hoa there might compare to wild wing
