A Beach-Area Home Without the High-Rise Feel

Ocean Village is a gated neighborhood along Myrtle Beach's Golden Mile area, offering a residential setting close to the ocean. If you're picturing beach mornings and a neighborhood atmosphere instead of a resort-style condo building, it's worth a closer look.

Walking distance is personal, so I always recommend trying the route yourself and confirming the access point that works best for you.

Inside 5375 Ocean Village Drive

This home offers three bedrooms, four bathrooms and approximately 2,049 square feet of living space, according to the current MLS listing. Built in 2018, it's a great example of the kind of single-family home buyers can compare with beachfront and ocean-area condo options.

Why Buyers Consider Ocean Village

Beach-oriented location: Convenient to the ocean while maintaining a residential neighborhood feel.
Gated setting: An appealing feature for buyers who prefer a defined neighborhood entrance.
Single-family living: A different experience from buying an oceanfront condo, with its own maintenance and ownership considerations.
Neighborhood amenities: Ask for the current HOA documents and amenity rules so you know exactly what is included.

Is a Home Near the Beach Right for You?

When comparing homes in this price range, look beyond the distance to the sand. I encourage buyers to review insurance quotes, HOA dues, property taxes, flood information, maintenance expectations and any rental restrictions. These can make a meaningful difference in how a coastal property fits your budget and lifestyle.

What Else Can You Buy Near the Beach for Under $900K?

This is one featured example, not a promise that similar homes are always available at the same price. Inventory changes, and beach access, neighborhood rules, condition and home type can vary significantly. If this home isn't quite right, I can help you compare other beach-area neighborhoods and properties that fit your goals.

Merrill's Local Take

One of my favorite things about showing homes along the South Strand is helping buyers find a place that feels like them. Some want an oceanfront condo and all the activity that comes with it. Others want a home in a neighborhood where they can walk to the beach and come back to a quieter setting. There isn't one right answer - just the right fit for your life.
