Explore Lakeside Crossing Homes in Conway, SC

Lakeside Crossing is Conway's premier gated 55+ active adult community — and one of the best-value retirement communities in the entire Myrtle Beach area. Managed by Sun Communities, this 692-home neighborhood delivers resort-caliber amenities, vibrant social programming, and a genuinely low-maintenance lifestyle at price points that open the door to coastal retirement for buyers who thought the Grand Strand might be out of reach. Unlike most 55+ communities, Lakeside Crossing uses a land-lease model: buyers purchase the home itself and pay a monthly lot fee that covers lawn care, trash service, lot taxes, and full access to all amenities. This model significantly reduces the upfront purchase price compared to communities where buyers also purchase land, making Lakeside Crossing one of the most accessible entry points into active adult living near Myrtle Beach. The community is located in Conway, just minutes from Historic Downtown Conway's charming Riverwalk, and approximately 20 minutes from Myrtle Beach's oceanfront. For buyers who want the coastal lifestyle without paying oceanfront prices, Lakeside Crossing delivers exceptional value.

 

Lakeside Crossing offers indoor and outdoor pools, a state-of-the-art fitness center, tennis and pickleball courts, shuffleboard courts, a pub, a billiards room, and a main clubhouse multipurpose room. A full-time activities director keeps a year-round social calendar packed with events, classes, and community outings. The community sits alongside beautiful scenic lakes with fountain views — many homes enjoy peaceful water vistas from screened porches and patios.

The land lease model is important for buyers to understand fully. You purchase the manufactured or modular home outright, and the monthly lot fee covers everything from lawn care to amenity access to trash service. This keeps upfront costs significantly lower than traditional home purchases. However, because you do not own the land, Lakeside Crossing homes do not qualify for conventional mortgage financing — buyers typically pay cash or use specialized manufactured home financing. This is a detail Brendan D'Anna will walk you through carefully before you commit.

Lakeside Crossing homes come in four distinct models — the Glen Eagle, Knollwood, Augusta, and Troon — ranging from approximately 1,400 to 1,800+ sq ft. These are modern manufactured homes with luxury upgrades, including granite countertops, screened porches, front porches, two-car garages, open floor plans, and pond or woodland views. Many have been further upgraded by current owners with Carolina rooms, updated kitchens, and outdoor living spaces.

 

Located off Hwy 501, Lakeside Crossing residents have easy access to Conway Medical Center (about 2 miles), Historic Downtown Conway and its scenic Riverwalk, grocery stores, restaurants, golf courses, and all of Myrtle Beach's attractions. The community is approximately 20 minutes from the Grand Strand beaches — close enough for regular beach days without the tourist density of beachfront neighborhoods.

Lakeside Crossing is an ideal fit for buyers who: want a gated, resort-amenity community at an affordable price; are comfortable with the land-lease model and the financing implications; prefer a vibrant, social community lifestyle with a full activities calendar; and want to be close to Conway's healthcare, history, and small-town charm while still accessing Myrtle Beach easily.
