By the Secure Home Finder Team
The Overlook is a Lennar single-family community in Longs, South Carolina, with homes starting from the low $200s as of September 2026. That is one of the lowest entry points into new construction anywhere in Horry County. Buyers searching The Overlook Longs SC homes for sale are usually price-motivated, and the published numbers reward that search. As of September 15, 2026, Lennar lists nine floor plans here priced from $233,000 to $310,000, spanning three to five bedrooms across three collections. Lennar builds under its Everything's Included model, so features many builders quote as options are carried in the base price. The tradeoff is plain. Longs is inland, and what you gain in square footage you give back in drive time to the coast. This community sits at the value end of the Lennar communities across the Grand Strand.

What Is The Overlook in Longs, SC?
The Overlook is a master-planned Lennar community of new single-family homes at 545 Cambria Drive in Longs, roughly six miles inland from the North Myrtle Beach oceanfront. Here is the shape of it as of September 15, 2026.
- Builder: Lennar
- Location: Longs, Horry County, SC
- Type: single-family, 3 to 5 bedrooms, 2 to 2.5 baths
- Published plan pricing: $233,000 to $310,000 as of September 15, 2026
- Collections: Watermill Collection, Cottage Collection, American Dream Series
- Plan count: nine
- Status: actively selling, with no homes currently released for purchase
Everything's Included is Lennar's term for bundling popular options into the base price rather than selling them one at a time. In practice that usually means appliances, cabinetry, flooring and certain fixtures are already accounted for in the number you see advertised. What it does not mean is that the package is identical year to year or collection to collection. Ask for the current included-features sheet in writing for the specific collection and model year you are considering, then compare it line by line against the base price of any competing builder on your list.
What Do The Overlook Longs SC Homes for Sale Cost in 2026?
Lennar's published plan pricing at The Overlook runs from $233,000 to $310,000 as of September 15, 2026. The Watermill and Cottage collections both start in the low $200s, and the American Dream Series starts in the high $200s. That spread reflects plan size and collection, not negotiation. A buyer at the bottom of the range is buying 1,259 square feet. A buyer at the top is buying 2,358.
That range sits well below the Horry County new-construction median, and the reason is geography rather than quality. Communities with comparable square footage inside the North Myrtle Beach or Carolina Forest corridors carry a location premium this one does not. If budget is your binding constraint and you are willing to drive, this is where the math works.
One thing to check before you get attached: as of September 15, 2026, Lennar shows no homes currently available at The Overlook. All nine plans are listed as future releases and the page notes new homesites coming soon. Pricing is published, availability is not. Ask the sales team for the release schedule before you build a timeline around this community, and confirm current pricing directly, because builder pricing moves with each release phase.

What Floor Plans Does Lennar Offer at The Overlook?
Lennar publishes nine floor plans at The Overlook, spread across three collections. These are the plans and starting prices shown on Lennar's community page on September 15, 2026.
| Plan | Collection | Beds / Baths | Square Feet | Starting At |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Beckman | Watermill | 3 / 2 | 1,259 | $233,000 |
| Woodhaven | Cottage | 4 / 2 | 1,501 | $241,000 |
| Newlin | Watermill | 3 / 2 | 1,474 | $249,000 |
| Ramsey | Watermill | 4 / 2 | 1,666 | $258,000 |
| Whitetail | Cottage | 4 / 2.5 | 1,952 | $266,000 |
| Harrisburg | American Dream | 4 / 2 | 1,779 | $290,000 |
| Hartford | American Dream | 4 / 2 | 1,886 | $294,000 |
| Dover | American Dream | 3 / 2 | 1,520 | $297,000 |
| Columbia | American Dream | 5 / 2.5 | 2,358 | $310,000 |
The most useful way to read that table is by what each plan solves. The Beckman and the Newlin are the entry point for a couple, a single buyer or a small family who wants new construction and does not need a fourth bedroom. The Woodhaven and the Ramsey add that fourth bedroom under $260,000, which is the sweet spot for a lot of out-of-state transplants who need a room that works as an office during the week and a guest room when family visits. That guest-room requirement drives more decisions in this market than most buyers expect.
At the upper end, the Whitetail and the Columbia are the two plans that change the household math. The Whitetail adds a half bath at 1,952 square feet. The Columbia is the only five-bedroom plan here at 2,358 square feet, which puts a genuinely multigenerational layout inside a $310,000 starting price. The Hartford is offered at several Lennar communities around the Grand Strand, so if no model is standing at The Overlook you can usually tour it elsewhere and get a real feel for the layout before you commit.

What Amenities Does The Overlook Have?
Lennar's community page for The Overlook does not publish an amenity package. There is no pool, clubhouse, playground or fitness center listed for this community as of September 15, 2026. What the page markets instead is the interior specification and the location: nearby beaches, parks, the Intracoastal Waterway, shopping and dining.
That absence is part of why the pricing is what it is, and it is worth saying plainly rather than glossing over. A community with a resort pool, a clubhouse and maintained common areas carries the cost of building and maintaining them, and that shows up in both the purchase price and the monthly dues. If you are comparing The Overlook against an amenity-heavy community nearby, you are not comparing like for like. Decide first whether you will actually use a community pool, because you will pay for one either way if you choose a community that has one.
How Far Is The Overlook From the Beach?
The nearest public beach access to The Overlook is the Main Street access in North Myrtle Beach, 6.0 miles and about 12 minutes from the community entrance. Lennar's own copy describes the community as just under seven miles from the beach, which lines up. Every figure below was measured in Google Maps from 545 Cambria Drive on September 15, 2026 under off-peak conditions. In-season traffic on Highway 9 and Robert Edge Parkway will add to all of them.
- Nearest public beach access, Main Street, North Myrtle Beach: 6.0 miles, about 12 minutes
- North Myrtle Beach Main Street: 6.0 miles, about 12 minutes
- Cherry Grove Beach: 8.2 miles, about 17 minutes
- Myrtle Beach Boardwalk: 18.2 miles, about 32 minutes
- Conway: 19.0 miles, about 30 minutes
- Myrtle Beach International Airport: 22.9 miles, about 31 minutes
Twelve minutes to sand is a strong number for a community priced in the low $200s. The drive that will actually shape your week is not the beach run. It is the half hour to Myrtle Beach proper and to the airport.

Is The Overlook Within Golf Cart Range of the Beach?
No. The Overlook is not within street-legal golf cart range of the beach. The nearest public beach access is six miles away, and South Carolina limits a permitted golf cart to a set radius around the address on its registration, well short of that distance. State rules also restrict operation to daylight hours and to roads posted at 35 miles per hour or below, and the route from Longs to the oceanfront does not stay under that threshold. If cart-to-beach access is a requirement for you, you are shopping the wrong side of the waterway. Confirm current cart rules and registration requirements with Horry County before you buy one.
What Schools Serve The Overlook?
Lennar does not publish public school assignments for The Overlook. The only school listed on the community page as of September 15, 2026 is North Myrtle Beach Christian School, a private PK and K-12 option. The community sits inside the Horry County Schools district, but the specific elementary, middle and high school attendance zones for these addresses are not stated by the builder.
Verify current zoning directly with Horry County Schools before you write an offer. Attendance lines in this part of the county shift as new construction comes online and capacity moves, so a zone that is accurate this year may not be accurate when your child enrolls. Check the district's current zoning tool at horrycountyschools.net and confirm in writing with the district rather than relying on a builder page or a listing sheet.
Other New Construction Communities in Longs
Longs has more than one Lennar community, and the closest comparison to The Overlook is Tupelo Park. Tupelo Park sits a few miles away, carries a published amenity package that includes a pool and a playground, and prices meaningfully higher, starting in the low $300s as of September 2026. It also has homes available to buy today, which The Overlook currently does not. If amenities and move-in timing matter more to you than entry price, that is the one to look at. Beyond Lennar, Longs has deep inventory across dozens of subdivisions, and you can see the wider picture of new construction across the Myrtle Beach area. We track every Lennar community in the Grand Strand if you want the full lineup before narrowing.

What to Know Before Buying The Overlook Longs SC Homes for Sale
- Get the Everything's Included feature sheet in writing. What counts as standard changes by collection and by model year, and The Overlook is running three collections at once. Confirm exactly which appliances, flooring, cabinetry, fixtures and structural options sit inside the base price for your specific plan before you sign anything, and keep that sheet with your contract so there is no argument at the design stage.
- Drive the commute at the hour you would actually drive it. Longs is inland, and the gap between an off-peak run to the coast and an in-season Saturday on Highway 9 is not small. Our measurements were taken mid-week and off-peak. Make the drive yourself once in real traffic, to the places you will actually go, before you commit to this location.
- Ask for the HOA budget and the current dues in writing. Lennar does not publish dues for The Overlook, and a verbal figure from a sales office is not a document. Request the published budget, the current assessment, the reserve balance and any planned special assessments. A community without a pool should carry modest dues, but confirm that rather than assume it.
- Understand what a builder contract does and does not give you. Builder contracts differ from resale contracts on inspection rights, earnest money, financing contingencies, completion timelines and what happens when a delivery date slips. Get your financing sorted first with a mortgage pre-approval, then read the contract with representation. Here is how making an offer works.
If You Came for The Overlook's Prices, Read This First
The Overlook publishes the lowest prices in Lennar's Horry County portfolio, and they are not prices you can transact at. Every home on the page is badged "Future release," Lennar's own text says "There are currently no homes available," and the published plan prices sit $35,000 to $40,000 below the identical plans at Valley Ridge — four miles away, in the same town of Longs, actively selling. A sheet that undercuts the same builder's live pricing by forty thousand dollars, attached to a community with nothing for sale, is a frozen record rather than an offer.
| Plan | The Overlook (published) | Valley Ridge (live) | Gap |
|---|---|---|---|
| Beckman | $233,000 | $272,900 | $39,900 |
| Newlin | $249,000 | $279,900 | $30,900 |
| Ramsey | $258,000 | $287,900 | $29,900 |
| Woodhaven | $241,000 | $280,900 | $39,900 |
| Whitetail | $266,000 | $299,900 | $33,900 |
Valley Ridge is the direct substitute. Same town, actively selling, pool and playground already built, and it carries the most complete plan library Lennar has in the county at ten plans — every Watermill plan, both Cottage plans, and several entry plans found nowhere else. It is functionally The Overlook's full lineup at live pricing.
The Overlook's American Dream Series plans are in a different situation again. The Dover, Harrisburg, Hartford and Columbia have all sold out at Tupelo Park, and Lennar is moving that series to Fieldview in Conway, which has not published plan pricing yet. Two Harrisburgs and two Columbias are standing at Fieldview now with published discounts of $32,000 to $49,000.
