Best In South Carolina Real Estate™: Grand Strand

Forestbrook leads South Carolina in single-family detached homes, with 82.3% of housing units in this form—according to ALEX Intelligence’s October 16, 2026 report. This isn’t just a housing style—it’s a structural determinant of supply, affordability, and future resilience. How does a market with such high single-family dominance adapt to rising demand and changing demographics? The answer may lie not in new construction, but in rethinking what ‘development’ means. But here in the Grand Strand, the data shows a different story. This is not a national trend—it’s a regional one, rooted in local land use patterns.
