Plantation Lakes Homes
If you are searching for homes along the Grand Strand, you should consider visiting Plantation Lakes Carolina Forest Myrtle Beach. Its homes line 15 Miles of lakefront or border pristine conservation area. It is considered a luxury neighborhood.
Homes range from 1,900 to 4,500 heated square feet, priced from $500,000 to $1,349,000, with a monthly HOA fee of $125. Plantation Lakes is not gated. What sets it apart is the lake itself, the size of the lots and the amenity package, rather than an entrance gate.
Lots run from 0.24 acres to over an acre. The largest of them are second in size only to Black Creek Plantation, though the range is wide enough that the community’s reputation for large lots does not describe every homesite in it. Check the acreage on the specific property rather than assuming.
Plantation Lakes has 748 homesites, and every home in it is custom built, so the architecture varies from street to street rather than repeating a handful of builder plans. That is unusual at this scale in Carolina Forest, where most communities were built by a single builder from a set of floor plans.
There is also no time frame to build when you buy a lot here. Many communities require you to start construction within a set number of years of closing; Plantation Lakes does not, so a homesite can be held until you are ready.
That spread is also why prices vary so much. Lot size, whether the home sits on the lake and how it is positioned matter as much here as square footage, which is why two homes of similar size can be priced very differently.
Plantation Lakes Lots for Sale are still available, so building here remains an option alongside buying an existing home.

Plantation Lakes Amenity Center
The amenities center is the perfect venue to spend a day with family and friends, or host a memorable private function. Adjacent to the center is a full kitchen and screened picnic area. Access to the amenity center and the rest of the community amenities is covered by the $125 monthly HOA fee.
Plantation Lakes Boating
The lake at Plantation Lakes covers 170 acres, and lakefront lot residents can access the amenity center or the entirety of it by boat. Taking in the amazing scenery by boating is a fantastic way to spend the day. Also, you can try your luck with fishing, since numerous species like largemouth bass and catfish are stocked in the lake.
The association permits a low horsepower motor on a pontoon boat, which keeps wakes down. That shapes what the lake is for: quiet cruising to the amenity center, fishing and time on the water, rather than skiing or anything faster. It also protects the shoreline the lakefront homes sit on, so the rule works in the favor of the people it applies to.
