Apartments near Barefoot Landing put you minutes from the shopping, dining, and beach access that make the Highway 17 corridor in Myrtle Beach and North Myrtle Beach so easy to love. If your current lease has you driving twenty minutes just to reach Bass Pro Shops, Tanger Outlets 17, or the sand itself, that daily tax on your time adds up fast. Renters searching for apartments near Barefoot Landing are usually chasing the same thing: a shorter commute to work, a manageable drive to Coastal Carolina University, and a home base close enough to the beach that a spontaneous evening walk doesn’t require a full tank of gas. Hannon Group, a family-owned property management team serving Horry County’s Grand Strand from Longs to Murrells Inlet, built Briarcliffe Commons with exactly that renter in mind — modern, move-in-ready apartments sitting right along the Hwy 17 corridor.
Who’s Actually Looking for Apartments Near Barefoot Landing?
Renters searching for apartments near Barefoot Landing tend to fall into a few clear groups, and knowing which one you are speeds up the whole search.
- CCU students starting this fall who want housing that doesn’t turn the Conway commute into a daily grind. Hannon Group’s Pinnacle community was built specifically for that drive.
- Commuters working somewhere along Highway 17 or Highway 22 who are tired of driving past Barefoot Landing every day just to get home.
- Families relocating to North Myrtle Beach who want weekends built around the boardwalk and Alligator Adventure instead of a long drive to reach them.
Each of these renters wants the same outcome: less time in the car, more time near the water.
Matching Your Search to the Right Community
Not every apartment near Barefoot Landing fits every renter, so here’s how the search usually breaks down along the Highway 17 corridor.
| If You’re This Renter | Consider This | Why It Fits |
|---|---|---|
| CCU student needing a fall move-in | Pinnacle | Built for the Coastal Carolina University commute, on a lease timeline that matches the school year |
| Commuter who wants Hwy 17 access without living on top of it | Briarcliffe Commons | Minutes from Hwy 22, Tanger Outlets 17, and Bass Pro Shops, with quick access into North Myrtle Beach |
| Family wanting more space and a slower pace | Sandridge Living | Garages and a Little River setting near La Belle Amie Vineyard |
| Renter drawn to small-town character | Colonial Charters | Historic Longs charm off Hwy 9 |

What Daily Life Looks Like Near Barefoot Landing
Highway 17 through this part of Myrtle Beach and North Myrtle Beach carries a lot of summer traffic, and anyone who’s tried to cut through the Barefoot Landing area on a July weekend knows it. Living near it instead of driving in from across town changes that equation completely.
From Briarcliffe Commons, Tanger Outlets 17 and Bass Pro Shops are a short trip rather than a planned outing. North Myrtle Beach and the Intracoastal Waterway are close enough that a Tuesday evening walk is realistic, not just a weekend event. Renters who make this move usually notice the difference within the first few weeks — errands stop eating the whole afternoon, and the beach stops feeling like a special occasion.
It’s not flashy, but the location does the heavy lifting that a longer commute never will.
What to Expect When You Rent With Hannon Group
Renting near Barefoot Landing with a local, family-owned team looks different than renting through a call center three states away.
- Week one: a straightforward online application, with each adult applicant completing tenant screening that covers credit, background, and rental history.
- Weeks two and three: approval, a signed e-lease, and a move-in date you set together with the Hannon Group team.
- Move-in: proof of renters insurance (required at every property) and any pet paperwork, since pet policies vary by community.
Once you’re in, a resident portal handles maintenance requests and rent payments, so small issues don’t turn into big ones. Here’s the thing — a family-owned company serving Longs to Murrells Inlet tends to answer the phone a little faster than a national property manager might. Read more on the About Hannon Group page.
