The Decatur is the plan for a buyer who does not want surprises. Three bedrooms, two baths, one story, two-car garage, 1,643 to 1,700 square feet, $274,900 — and a specification so tightly bounded that the price you are quoted is very close to the house you get. It is offered at one community, Jordan Grove in Conway, which is also Mungo’s cheapest community in Horry County.
Decatur Specifications
| Builder | Mungo Homes |
| Bedrooms | 3 — fixed |
| Bathrooms | 2 — fixed |
| Square footage | 1,643 to 1,700 — a 57 square foot range |
| Stories | One (per Mungo’s plan page) |
| Garage | 2 car (per Mungo’s plan page) |
| Horry County communities | One — Jordan Grove in Conway |
| Published price range | $274,900 |
A 57 square foot range with fixed bedroom and bathroom counts is the second-tightest specification Mungo publishes in this county, behind only the Bleckley. There is no four-bedroom Decatur, no bonus room, no way to option it up 400 feet. For a first-time buyer, that removes the single most common way new construction budgets get away from people.

Where You Can Buy the Decatur
| Community | City | Decatur Starting Price | Amenities | Status |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Jordan Grove | Conway | $274,900 | Common areas, ponds — no pool | 10 homes for sale, 8 available now |
One community, one price. The Decatur is not offered at Garden Grove, Hainer Place or Willows at Pitch Landing, so there is no cross-community comparison — and no cheaper version of it elsewhere.
Where the Decatur Sits at Jordan Grove
Jordan Grove carries nine plans and the Decatur is third from the bottom on price. The ladder is unusually even:
| Plan | Sq Ft | Beds | Baths | Price | Step |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Ford | 1,383-1,902 | 2-5 | 2-3.5 | $259,900 | — |
| Lawrence | 1,500-1,978 | 3-4 | 2-3.5 | $267,900 | +$8,000 |
| Decatur | 1,643-1,700 | 3 | 2 | $274,900 | +$7,000 |
| Durham II | 1,761-2,380 | 3-5 | 2-3 | $279,900 | +$5,000 |
| Gwinnett II | 1,889-2,515 | 3-6 | 2-3 | $288,900 | +$9,000 |
| Kershaw | 1,951-1,962 | 3 | 2.5 | $294,900 | +$6,000 |
Read the ranges rather than the prices and the Decatur’s position becomes clear. The Ford, Lawrence, Durham II and Gwinnett II all span 400 to 600 square feet and stretch to four, five or six bedrooms. The Decatur spans 57 feet and stays at three.
That is the trade. You pay $15,000 more than the Ford for a plan that cannot grow — but the Ford at $259,900 describes a 1,383 square foot two-bedroom, and building it up to Decatur size and configuration costs money Mungo does not publish. A standing Ford at Jordan Grove built to the exact base specification lists at $278,900, which is already $4,000 above the Decatur’s base.
So the honest framing is not "the Decatur costs $15,000 more than the Ford." It is: the Decatur tells you what it costs, and the Ford does not. For a buyer who has been burned by change orders, or who is buying from out of state and cannot walk the options centre, that certainty has real value.
The plan to genuinely weigh it against is the Durham II at $279,900 — $5,000 more, and it stretches from 1,761 all the way to 2,380 square feet with up to five bedrooms. If there is any chance your needs grow, that $5,000 buys a lot of headroom. If they will not, the Durham II’s flexibility is something you are paying for and not using.
Seventeen Hundred Square Feet, One Level, Two-Car Garage
The Decatur is a conventional three-bedroom single-story home and there is not much mystery to it, which is rather the point.
Who it suits. First-time buyers who want new construction with a two-car garage and a predictable price. Downsizers who want single-level living, a guest room and an office without maintaining a larger house. Investors, because a three-bed two-bath single story is the most rentable configuration in this market.
What the tight range means practically. The 57 square feet between the smallest and largest version is a bump-out or an extended room, not a structural difference. So unlike the Ford or the Gwinnett II, you cannot walk a model and then discover the version you want is $30,000 more. What you see is close to what you sign for.
The two-car garage is published on Mungo’s plan page and is generous at this size — it provides the storage a 1,700 square foot house does not have internally, which matters most for the downsizing buyer arriving from a larger home. Mungo does not publish it on the community page, so confirm it on your homesite.
Single story, per Mungo’s plan page. In a market weighted toward retirees and relocating buyers in their fifties and sixties, that is the most requested feature and the one that holds the broadest resale pool.
Jordan Grove has a Decatur standing at 185 Bolsin Court for $289,900, built to 1,667 square feet with three bedrooms and two baths and available now. That is $15,000 over the base price for a house in the middle of the plan’s range — finishes, lot premium and standard inclusions rather than size. It is a useful anchor: on the Decatur, the gap between base price and finished home is about $15,000, which is smaller than on most Mungo plans precisely because there is so little to option.
Jordan Grove
Jordan Grove is at 201 Lister Street in Conway, off Highway 701 north of Highway 22. It is Mungo’s cheapest community in Horry County and the one with the best immediate availability.
| Jordan Grove | |
|---|---|
| Decatur price | $274,900 |
| Plans offered | 9 — the deepest roster in Mungo’s Conway lineup |
| Amenities | Common areas, ponds. No pool, built or planned. |
| Homes for sale | 10, from $278,900 to $357,900 |
| Available now | 8 of 10 — the best in the Mungo lineup |
| Schools | Homewood Elementary, Whittemore Park Middle, Conway High, Academy for Technology and Academics |
What Jordan Grove sells instead of amenities is lot quality. Mungo advertises homesites with "stunning views of private landscapes, serene water features, or a beautiful combination of woods and water," and on a drive-through that holds up — the pond and tree-line lots there are better than $275,000 usually buys in this county.
On a plan with almost no configuration options, the homesite is the only real decision you get to make. That makes Jordan Grove a good fit for the Decatur specifically: a fixed house on a lot worth choosing carefully. Ask which pond lots are still open and what the premiums are.
Two page notes. Jordan Grove’s body copy says the community "features eight thoughtfully designed floor plans" while nine plan cards display — the Decatur is one of the nine. And it is the only Mungo community in the county listing a fourth school assignment, the Academy for Technology and Academics, Horry County’s career and technology centre.
Decatur vs. Kershaw vs. Bleckley
Three Mungo plans are built around the same idea — a fixed specification with nothing to option up. They are worth comparing directly because the reason to buy any of them is the same.
| Bleckley | Decatur | Kershaw | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Square footage | 1,518-1,531 | 1,643-1,700 | 1,951-1,962 |
| Range | 13 sq ft | 57 sq ft | 11 sq ft |
| Bedrooms / baths | 3 / 2 | 3 / 2 | 3 / 2.5 |
| Stories | One | One | Two |
| Price | $287,900 | $274,900 | $294,900 |
| Community | Garden Grove | Jordan Grove | Jordan Grove |
Against the Bleckley: the Decatur is $13,000 cheaper and roughly 150 square feet larger, with the same three bedrooms and two baths on one level. On plan merit it wins comfortably. The Bleckley’s premium is not the house — it is Garden Grove, the amenity community with a built pool, pickleball courts and natural gas. So this is really a community choice: do you want amenities, or do you want $13,000 and a bigger house?
Against the Kershaw: $20,000 more buys about 260 square feet, half a bathroom and a second floor. Both are at Jordan Grove, so this one is a straight plan comparison. If single-level living matters — and in this market it usually does — the Decatur is the answer and the Kershaw is out regardless of price.
Read simply: the Decatur is the best-value fixed-specification plan Mungo sells in Horry County. Cheaper than the Bleckley, larger than the Bleckley, and on one level unlike the Kershaw.
What Mungo Homes Does Not Publish
Three gaps apply to every Mungo plan in Horry County:
- No community page publishes garage or story counts. Those figures exist only on Mungo's individual plan pages, and even there they are plan defaults rather than community guarantees. Confirm on the specific homesite.
- No HOA figure is published at any of the eight communities. Not a fee, not a management company, not an inclusion list. It is the single most important unpublished number in a Mungo purchase.
- No option or upgrade pricing. Mungo publishes a base price and a square footage range but nothing about what it costs to move between them — and on plans with a wide range, that gap is thousands of dollars.
One more caution specific to this builder: Mungo's hero price bands contradict its own plan prices. Garden Grove advertises "Low $300s" while its cheapest plan is $287,900. Never treat a band as a starting price.

Why would I choose the Decatur over the cheaper Ford?
Certainty. The Ford’s $259,900 base describes a 1,383 square foot two-bedroom, and a standing Ford built to that exact specification lists at $278,900 — already above the Decatur’s base. The Decatur’s price describes the house you actually get.
Is a Decatur available now?
Yes — 185 Bolsin Court at Jordan Grove, $289,900, 1,667 square feet, three bedrooms, two baths, available immediately.
Does Jordan Grove have a pool?
No, and none is planned. Its amenities are common areas and ponds. It is the only Mungo community in Conway with no pool of any kind.
Decatur or Bleckley?
The Decatur is $13,000 cheaper and about 150 square feet larger with the same bedrooms, baths and single level. The Bleckley’s premium buys the Garden Grove amenity package, not a better house.
The Plan Where the Price Tag Means Something
The Decatur is a fixed house at a fixed price in Mungo’s cheapest community, which makes the homesite the only decision that really matters — and Jordan Grove’s pond and wooded lots are genuinely worth choosing between.
