Talk to a Specialist →Myrtle Trace has operated with a lean amenity philosophy for 40+ years: provide the core facilities that active adults use daily, keep HOA costs at the absolute minimum, and let the deeply established social fabric carry the rest. The community does not have a resort clubhouse or multiple pools. It has a functional, well-maintained clubhouse, an outdoor pool, and courts — and a social calendar that any newer community would envy because the residents have had 40 years to build it.
Established community hub with gathering spaces, card rooms, and event facilities. 40+ years of resident-organized programming. The social calendar here runs itself.
Well-maintained outdoor pool with aqua fitness and casual swim. Year-round mild Conway climate.
Equipment and group fitness programming. Scaled appropriately for the community size.
Established tennis program with organized leagues. Active player base built over decades.
Organized bocce leagues and casual play. Popular year-round activity.
The strongest aspect of Myrtle Trace relative to its facilities. 40+ years of community means deep clubs, real friendships, and genuine neighborhood identity.

At $100–$150/month, Myrtle Trace HOA is $150–$200/month less than Del Webb. Over 20 years that is $36,000–$48,000 in HOA savings. The question every buyer needs to answer honestly: will I actually use the amenities I would be paying extra for? If the answer is "pool and fitness center daily, social clubs weekly" — Myrtle Trace delivers those. If the answer includes "private beach club, dual pools, amphitheater" — then the premium communities justify the premium.
