Conway Neighborhood Spotlight: What It’s Really Like to Live in Rivertown Row, Downtown, and Wild Wing Plantation
If you’re considering a move to Conway, you’ve probably noticed just how many great neighborhoods there are — each with its own unique charm and lifestyle. Whether you’re drawn to quiet family living, small-town character, or resort-style amenities, Conway truly has something for everyone.
Here’s a closer look at three of our most popular areas: Rivertown Row, Downtown Conway, and Wild Wing Plantation — and what makes each one special.
Rivertown Row: Family-Friendly and Convenient
If you’re looking for a neighborhood that blends comfort, community, and convenience, Rivertown Row checks all the boxes.
Located just minutes from downtown Conway and close to Highway 501, this neighborhood is ideal for families, first-time buyers, or anyone who wants a newer home without breaking the bank. You’ll find well-kept streets, sidewalks for evening walks, and neighbors who actually wave hello.
Most homes here were built within the past decade, featuring open floor plans, two-car garages, and energy-efficient designs. The community is zoned for Conway Elementary, Middle, and High School, all just a short drive away.
With quick access to grocery stores, restaurants, and even Coastal Carolina University, Rivertown Row offers that perfect blend of suburban peace and daily convenience.
Downtown Conway: Historic Charm with a Modern Vibe
If you love the idea of walking to your favorite coffee shop or catching a weekend farmers market, Downtown Conway is where you’ll want to be.
This is the heart of Conway — full of character, oak-lined streets, and a small-town atmosphere that’s hard to find anywhere else along the Grand Strand. Here, you’ll find everything from historic homes with wide front porches to beautifully restored cottages and modern townhomes.
Downtown living means you’re steps away from Main Street’s local restaurants, boutiques, and the Riverwalk, one of Conway’s most scenic spots. Events like Rivertown Music & Arts Festival and Christmas on the River bring the community together year-round.
Buyers love this area for its walkability, charm, and sense of community. And with home prices still competitive compared to Myrtle Beach, downtown Conway continues to draw both locals and newcomers alike.
Wild Wing Plantation: Golf, Lakes, and Luxury Living
If you’re looking for more space, golf course views, and resort-style amenities, Wild Wing Plantation delivers all of that — and then some.
This neighborhood is known for its 27-hole golf course, large custom homes, and beautiful lake views. Many homes here feature high-end finishes, private docks, and backyard patios overlooking the water. It’s a peaceful escape that still keeps you close to everything — just off Highway 501 and minutes from Carolina Forest or downtown Conway.
Wild Wing also offers a clubhouse, multiple pools, tennis courts, and walking trails — making it a top choice for retirees, professionals, and families who want both relaxation and recreation.
