Built in 2023 by Lennar Carolinas, this Kensington floor plan sits on one of Arcadia's most coveted pond lots in the Socastee corridor of Horry County, South Carolina. Five bedrooms, three and a half baths and 2,556 heated square feet of well-planned Low Country living space designed for the way people actually live. Whether you are searching for a primary residence in Myrtle Beach, a second home on the Grand Strand, a multigenerational layout in Horry County or an investment property in one of coastal South Carolina's fastest-growing communities, 164 Empyrean Circle delivers on every level.

Step inside and the first floor sets the tone immediately. The formal dining room with tray ceiling anchors the front of the home and creates an immediate sense of space and quality. The kitchen is built for people who love to cook, host and entertain. White shaker cabinets stacked from 36 to 42 inches, granite countertops, a large center island with breakfast bar seating for multiple guests, a walk-in pantry, stainless steel appliances including a natural gas range and built-in microwave, all flowing seamlessly into the spacious 16x13 family room.
The family room leads directly into the screened Carolina room at the back of the home. This is where 164 Empyrean Circle separates itself from every other listing in Arcadia and in the Socastee corridor of Myrtle Beach. Fully screened with a ceiling fan, string lights already hung and nothing between you and the pond but fresh air. The community maintains the shoreline. You maintain your drinks. The sunsets are on the house. The open green space between the screen and the water's edge is a blank canvas for whatever you want to create.
The first-floor primary suite runs 14x15 with a tray ceiling, walk-in closet, linen closet, double-sink vanity and a tile walk-in shower. The windows sit in direct horizontal line with the water. You will see those swans from bed. This is not a detail that shows up in the MLS. It is the kind of thing you only discover when you are standing in the room.
Upstairs the second primary suite measures 20x15 with its own tray ceiling, a covered balcony with unobstructed pond views and enough room to accommodate a full sitting area alongside the bedroom furniture. Guests who stay in this room tend to make themselves very comfortable. Three additional bedrooms with generous closet space, two full baths and a covered front balcony overlooking the Arcadia neighborhood complete the upper level. The front balcony is ideal for morning coffee, afternoon sun or simply watching the community come to life below.
Additional property highlights include a tankless Rannai natural gas water heater, an attached two-car garage, LVP flooring and tile on the main level, plush carpet upstairs, central air and electric, city water and sewer, and an active Rocket Pest Control contract with monthly interior and exterior service plus a termite bond that transfers at closing. Washer and dryer convey. No flood zone. No flood insurance required. Clean seller disclosure with no known defects.
Arcadia is not just a neighborhood. It is one of the Grand Strand's most thoughtfully developed master-planned communities, built along the Socastee corridor of Myrtle Beach in Horry County, South Carolina. Developed by three of the most respected homebuilders in the Carolinas, Lennar, Pulte and Mungo Homes, and professionally managed by AAM Property Management, Arcadia was designed from the ground up to offer a resort-style living experience at a price point that makes sense.
The amenities at Arcadia are built to be used, not just photographed for a brochure. The resort-style pool is large enough to actually swim laps. The tennis courts and pickleball courts are lit for evening play. The fitness center, clubhouse, community firepit and playground round out an amenity package that competing subdivisions in the Myrtle Beach area charge significantly more to access. The HOA fee is $91 per month and covers common area irrigation, street lighting, trash removal, sidewalk maintenance and full professional management through AAM, reachable at (843)341-8001. Golf cart friendly. Motorcycle friendly. Keycard access to all amenities.
Scenic ponds are woven throughout the Arcadia community, creating a peaceful natural backdrop that defines the character of the neighborhood and sets it apart from every other new construction subdivision in the Socastee corridor of Myrtle Beach. These are not retention ponds hidden behind fences. They are community features, maintained shorelines, open green space and natural wildlife habitat that make Arcadia feel more like a coastal retreat than a typical South Carolina subdivision.
Arcadia is a natural gas community, which means lower energy costs, better cooking performance and a higher quality of life detail that many buyers specifically seek out when searching for homes in Myrtle Beach and the surrounding Horry County area.
Zoning is PUD, Planned Unit Development, reflecting the master-planned nature of the community and the coordinated development standards that make Arcadia one of the most consistently well-maintained neighborhoods in Myrtle Beach SC 29588.
The location of 164 Empyrean Circle in the Socastee corridor of Myrtle Beach is one of the strongest selling points of this property. Just off Forestbrook Road, 1.5 miles from Highway 501, you are positioned at the center of everything the Grand Strand has to offer without any of the congestion, noise or seasonal chaos of the tourist corridor.
Trader Joe's is minutes from your front door, a detail that consistently comes up in conversations with buyers relocating to the Myrtle Beach area from larger markets. Market Common, the lifestyle district of Myrtle Beach, is close by and offers a walkable mix of dining, retail, fitness, entertainment and community events that draws residents year-round. Coastal Grand Mall, Myrtle Beach Mall and Tanger Outlets on Highway 501 are all easily accessible for everyday shopping and dining. Carolina Forest, one of the most established and well-regarded suburban communities in Horry County, borders the Socastee corridor and puts a full range of restaurants, grocery stores, medical offices, fitness studios and everyday conveniences within a short drive.
Grand Strand Medical Center, one of the primary healthcare facilities serving the Myrtle Beach and Horry County region, is easily accessible from Arcadia. Conway Medical Center and McLeod Seacoast are also within reasonable driving distance for residents who prioritize healthcare access when choosing where to live in coastal South Carolina.
The Intracoastal Waterway runs through the greater Myrtle Beach area and provides boating, kayaking and waterway recreation opportunities that are uniquely coastal Carolina. Multiple boat launches and marinas serve the Socastee and Myrtle Beach communities. World-class golf courses, more than 100 courses in the Grand Strand area, are accessible from Arcadia in virtually every direction. Barefoot Resort, TPC Myrtle Beach, Caledonian Golf Club and dozens of other courses are all within a reasonable drive.
The Myrtle Beach International Airport is accessible for residents who travel frequently, making Arcadia a practical choice for second home buyers and remote workers who need reliable flight access. The Myrtle Beach boardwalk, oceanfront, state parks, fishing piers and Atlantic Ocean beaches are approximately 25 minutes from 164 Empyrean Circle. You get all the benefits of coastal Carolina living with a home that sits comfortably away from the congestion of the resort strip.
For families and individuals relocating from the Northeast, Mid-Atlantic, Midwest or other regions of the country, the Socastee corridor of Myrtle Beach offers one of the most compelling combinations of value, lifestyle, infrastructure and community quality available anywhere in coastal South Carolina. Arcadia specifically draws buyers from New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Michigan, Virginia and the Carolinas who are looking for a high-quality home in a well-managed community without the price tags of other coastal markets.
Arcadia is zoned for three of the most respected schools in the Horry County School District, making this community a consistent destination for families planting roots on the Grand Strand. Forestbrook Elementary and Forestbrook Middle School serve the younger grades and are located in close proximity to the Arcadia community in the Socastee area of Myrtle Beach.
