Grand Strand 55+ Community Floor Plans — Buyer Guide

Floor plan selection at 55+ is different from floor plan selection at 35. The questions change: Is the primary bedroom on the main floor? Is the laundry on the main floor? Are doorways wide enough for wheelchair access if needed? Is there a step into the garage or the shower? Are there grab bar backing in the bathrooms? Del Webb floor plans at both Grande Dunes and North Myrtle Beach are designed with aging-in-place features: step-in showers standard, wider doorways, single-story primary floor options throughout most plan families. Ask specifically: does this plan have a first-floor primary, first-floor laundry, and zero-threshold shower? If any of those answers is no, understand why before you commit. Cresswind Myrtle Beach floor plans vary by build vintage — earlier sections (2013–2015) have less aging-in-place focus than later sections (2018–2022). When touring resale Cresswind homes, check the specific build year and request the original floor plan spec sheet. Seasons and Myrtle Trace floor plans are older (2004–2017) and vary widely — some have first-floor primaries, some do not. Measure doorways in any home you seriously consider. The standard 36" ADA-compliant doorway is not universal in homes built before 2015. The Horry County building code has improved on this but enforcement on individual builds varied. Verify, do not assume.
