More than 1,000 homes are being built in Conway as part of a massive development plan

A major new development in the Conway area plans to add more than 1,000 homes to the city, as other planned projects add more housing to the county seat.

According to a press release by First Continental, a firm specializing in "residential lot acquisition and development financing," the Auberon Woods is a community set on a 758-acre tract of land featuring 1,100 houses and two amenities. The entire community will be completed in 2027; however, work began on 206 home developments in 2023, with an additional 194 single-family homes scheduled for completion in 2025.

The home builder, D.R. Horton , offers three floorplans. A 1,618 square feet, three beds, two baths and one story tall option. A four-bed, two-bath option with 1,774 square feet and a one-story-tall option and 2,271 square feet, four-bed, 2.5-bath, and two-story tall floorplan. According to D.R. Horton's website, prices range from $304,000, $310,000 and $388,000.

D.R. Horton did not return a request for comment before publication.

Horry County Land Records marks the development near Teddy Bear Circle along South Carolina Highway 90. While massive, the project isn't the biggest development that could reshape the area around the City of Conway.

Warden Station, which the City of Conway unanimously approved in January 2024, will add more than 3,300 thousand single-family detached, townhomes and multi-family units to the area surrounding Conway. The project is near Pitch Landing Road and Harper Road next to Highway 701 South.

Meanwhile, other smaller-scale projects are also cropping up along Conway. DRB Homes will add more than 70 homes in the Longs area as part of its Chesnut Farms active adult community that caters to 55 and older communities. Meanwhile, other developers want to add 100 single-family homes along Poplar Church Road in Conway.
