Litchfield Beach Real Estate

Litchfield is really three markets with one name, and the price depends on which one you are shopping. The oceanfront and second-row houses of North Litchfield are the top of the South Strand. The golf, lake and marsh neighborhoods behind the beach are where most year-round residents live. And the condos, from the buildings along Ocean Highway to the oceanfront towers in Litchfield by the Sea, are how most people first buy in. About forty properties are usually for sale across the three, and roughly half of them are condos.

Homes for Sale in Litchfield SC

Homes for sale in Litchfield SC behind the beach run from about $600,000 to $1.4 million. These are the three- and four-bedroom homes in Litchfield Country Club, Litchfield Breezes, Marshland Park, The Enclave and the residential streets of Litchfield by the Sea, sitting on the golf course, the lakes or the marsh rather than the ocean, and they are the houses people buy to live in year round. New construction in The Enclave and along Waccamaw Trace lists from about $700,000 to $1.1 million.

North Litchfield Beach homes for sale are a different tier. The oceanfront and second-row houses on Norris Drive, Parker Drive and Sea Oats Circle are five- to eleven-bedroom homes built for large families and weekly rentals, listed from about $2.5 million to $6 million, and only a few come to market in a year.

Litchfield by the Sea Homes for Sale

Litchfield by the Sea is the gated oceanfront community at the center of Litchfield, with its own beach club, walkways over the marsh, tennis and pools, and it holds most of the condos for sale in Litchfield. The oceanfront buildings, including Captains Quarters, Shipyard Village, Sandpiper Run and the South Dunes towers, list from about $800,000 to $1.6 million for three-bedroom units on the sand. Litchfield by the Sea condos for sale in the interior buildings and villas run from about $500,000 to $800,000, and the one- and two-bedroom units in Litchfield Retreat, Bridgewater, Summerhouse and the Seaside Inn along Ocean Highway, just outside the gate, start at about $230,000. The cheapest way in is a studio or efficiency at the Litchfield Inn, right on the oceanfront, or a two-bedroom at Salt Marsh Circle, from about $160,000.

North Litchfield Beach

Some of the most luxurious homes on the South Carolina coast are found in the North Litchfield Beach section, many Oceanfront or second row.

Because of its proximity to the beautiful and private Pawleys Island, historic Georgetown, and bustling Myrtle Beach, Litchfield Beach real estate is a fine investment for a primary residence or for vacation rentals. Litchfield has a friendly down-home atmosphere where you can raise your family or enjoy your golden years.

Built for Rentals

Three to seven bedroom floor plans that accommodate whole families.

Creeks & Canals

Kayaking, crabbing and fishing without leaving the neighborhood.

Golf Communities

Sought after by buyers from well beyond South Carolina.

Litchfield Beach Oceanfront Homes

Litchfield Beach Oceanfront Homes are great for rentals not only because of their great location but because of the size and number of bedrooms. The homes in this community feature 3 to 7+ bedroom floor plans, making it easy for vacationers to find a home with enough room to accommodate their whole family.

That matters for the numbers. A larger home rents to a wider set of groups and commands a higher weekly rate than a standard beach cottage, which is why oceanfront Litchfield has held its appeal with investors as well as second-home buyers.

Living in Litchfield Beach

Litchfield Beach can offer you peaceful living in a convenient location to all of your favorite restaurants, shopping, and service areas. Many residents enjoy the area's creeks and canals with kayaking, crabbing or fishing.

Why Buyers Choose Litchfield Beach

Litchfield sits on the quieter South Strand, where the beach is residential rather than resort. There are no high-rises here, the oaks are older than the houses, and the pace is closer to Georgetown than to Myrtle Beach.

It also works unusually well as a dual-purpose purchase. The large floor plans that suit a family full time are the same ones that rent best in season, so buyers who want a place to use now and hand down later tend to look here.

Note that Litchfield is in Georgetown County rather than Horry, which means a different school district and a different tax calculation from most of the Myrtle Beach area.
