MURRELLS INLET, SC - Sands Companies, a full-service, vertically integrated multifamily development and construction firm, launched leasing at its latest detached, horizontal cottage-style apartment home community in South Carolina. The new development, Swells Cottages Apartment Homes, expands the company’s innovative build-to-rent concept and brings it to Murrells Inlet, South Carolina.
Located at 1501 Flatwood Street, Swells Cottages Apartment Homes will have 221 one- and two-story cottage homes ranging from one to three bedrooms and 672 to 1,293 square feet. The community is currently under development and leasing units, with an expected first move-in in February 2022.
Sands Companies developed the concept to build detached, horizontal apartments in 2014, many years before the model was adopted by others in the multifamily industry. The firm recently broke ground on Cape Cottage Apartment Homes near Wilmington, North Carolina, adding to its rapidly growing portfolio of new developments in the Carolinas, Georgia, and coastal Florida.
“Swells Cottages was tailor-made for a place like Murrells Inlet,” Sands President Joe Morrison said. “With proximity to the mainstays of Myrtle Beach, our new community will blend in seamlessly with the quiet and coastal characteristics of this area and offers new residents the perfect place to call home with all of the high-tech features and creature comforts residents look for.”
Swells Cottages offers charming cottage homes that blend the best ideals in both luxury home living and leasing. Each spacious one- and two-story detached cottage features a front porch framed in Southern charm. The exteriors are painted in a palette of beach-inspired shades and the interiors feature standout, high-end finishes. The community is less than a mile from the beach and includes a rich amenity package such as a pool with a sun shelf and a clubhouse with a screened-in porch and fireplace, fitness center with fitness mirrors, fire pit, and a residential lounge complete with a bistro and kitchen area, shuffleboard and games.
Regarded as the “seafood capital of South Carolina,” Murrells Inlet is a historic fishing village that sits just 10 miles south of Myrtle Beach. Murrells Inlet offers residents a quiet refuge from the hustle and bustle of Myrtle Beach with access to outdoor activities such as deep-sea fishing, kayaking, golfing at the nearby Tupelo Bay golf course, and the popular MarshWalk for local waterfront dining and music.
