Living Dunes at Grande Dunes: A Walkable Coastal Community Guide

Living Dunes Overview

Living Dunes is one of the newest neighborhoods within the master-planned Grande Dunes community, developed by CRG Companies. Designed around Lowcountry architecture, expansive front porches, and a healthy, walkable lifestyle, it blends small-town charm with modern coastal design. The neighborhood features a mix of single-family homes, townhomes, and cottages, with a wide selection of floor plans.

Location & Setting

Living Dunes sits in Grande Dunes’ Ocean Village, roughly a half-mile golf-cart ride from the Atlantic Ocean. The location puts groceries, healthcare at Grand Strand Medical Center, a YMCA, shopping, dining, and golf within a short ride. Its layout weaves homes among 10-plus acres of lakes, green spaces, and parks, connected by more than 8 miles of sidewalks and walking trails.

Homes & Architecture

Homes feature a coastal-yet-modern Lowcountry aesthetic with first- and second-floor covered porches, open kitchens, and generous owner’s suites. Buyers can choose from a broad lineup of single-family and multi-family plans, from lower-maintenance townhomes and cottages to larger single-family homes. Because availability and pricing change frequently, use the live listings page below for current homes and prices.

Smart Homes & Green Building

Living Dunes was Myrtle Beach’s first Gigabit (fiber) community, offering high-speed fiber internet throughout. Homes are built to a higher standard with green-building practices and smart-home features such as keyless entry, smart thermostats, video security, tankless water heaters, and wind-resistant windows — many controllable from a smartphone.

On-Site Amenities

Residents enjoy a private amenity center with a zero-entry resort-style pool, a clubhouse, an outdoor fireplace and fire pits, a putting green, a butterfly garden, and a lakefront boardwalk with a tiered water fountain — all woven into the walkable trail network.

Access to the Grande Dunes Lifestyle

Living Dunes homeowners receive membership to the Grande Dunes Ocean Club (included in HOA dues), with private beach access and an oceanfront pool. Residents also enjoy the broader Grande Dunes lifestyle: two 18-hole golf courses, a Har-Tru tennis facility, a private marina, and waterfront dining. Buyers comparing new construction may also like the Toll Brothers homes at Grande Dunes Cascadia, the all-brick Cape Dutch homes in The Cape, or the 55+ lifestyle at Del Webb.

Who Living Dunes Is Right For

Living Dunes appeals to families, remote workers who value fiber internet, second-home buyers, and active retirees who want a walkable, amenity-rich neighborhood close to the beach.
