Covington Lake (approx. 150 homesites) is one of dozens of planned developments within an area known as Carolina Forest. Carolina Forest, in unincorporated Horry County, was carved out of 12,000 acres of timberland in the mid-1990s. West of and adjacent to the Intracoastal Waterway, it is bordered by Highway 501 and International Drive. Pros: Carolina Forest is close to everything — ten minutes to beaches, downtown Myrtle Beach and the airport. Plus, it has a sought-after school district. Con: Some 15,000 people use the main road through Carolina Forest, connecting Highway 501 and International Drive, and until it’s widened to four lanes, you can expect it to be slow going and congested during rush hour.
 
The subject house was built in 2001. The photo shown above is representative of the neighborhood. Actual subject photos are shown below.
