News Title: Auberon Woods: An unusually large selection of floorplans is helping drive home sales in Conway
The most newsworthy aspect of D. R. Horton's Auberon Woods community is not simply its size, but the extraordinary variety of homes being offered to buyers. With 22 different floorplans available across its Express and Tradition Series, Auberon Woods offers one of the most extensive selections of home designs found in any new-home community in Horry County. That is a particularly notable distinction in a market where many new-home developments offer only a handful of plans.

The breadth of this selection appears to be an important factor in the community's sales success. Rather than appealing to just one type of buyer, Auberon Woods offers a range of home sizes, layouts, bedroom configurations and price points that can accommodate first-time buyers, growing families, move-up buyers and those looking for considerably more living space. The ability to choose among 22 designs gives prospective homeowners more flexibility to find a home that fits their needs without having to look elsewhere.

Homes in Auberon Woods first began closing in March 2023. As of November 2026, more than half of the planned community has sold, with homes having sold from approximately $237,500 to $580,000 and an average selling price of approximately $372,000. With more than 1,000 single-family homes approved and 16 planned building phases, Auberon Woods is the largest new-home community currently under development in Conway.

Location adds another layer of appeal

Auberon Woods has a particularly convenient location within Horry County, with Highways 90, 22, 17, 501 and 31 all accessible within a relatively short drive. Although the community carries a Conway mailing address, its location has a somewhat different feel from many Conway developments. It is actually closer to North Myrtle Beach, Myrtle Beach and Carolina Forest than it is to downtown Conway, making it a convenient option for buyers who want access to several parts of the Grand Strand.

The location could become even more attractive as transportation improvements move forward. Horry County's upcoming Ride 4 program includes the planned widening of Highway 90 from East Cox Ferry Road toward Little River. The county has already issued a Request for Proposals seeking design services for the widening, which is expected to include four travel lanes and turn lanes at intersections. This improvement could eventually provide additional road capacity along an important corridor serving Auberon Woods and surrounding residential growth.

Another distinguishing feature is the community's location adjacent to the Lewis Ocean Bay Heritage Preserve. Covering more than 10,000 acres, this state-protected natural area is known for its extensive natural habitats, rare plant species, including Venus flytraps and pitcher plants, and wildlife that includes black bears and endangered bird species. It is also an outdoor destination for hikers, birdwatchers, photographers and nature enthusiasts.

Having a large protected natural area immediately adjacent to a residential development provides a setting that is increasingly difficult to duplicate. The preserve offers a natural backdrop, a sense of separation from surrounding development and the benefit of substantial acreage that is protected from conventional residential construction.

Auberon Woods is also planned with 16 building phases, giving D. R. Horton a substantial development footprint and allowing construction and sales to continue across different sections of the property. More than 1,000 single-family homes have been approved, making it the largest new-home community currently under development in Conway.

Twenty-two floorplans give buyers an unusually broad selection

One of the biggest selling points at Auberon Woods is the number of home designs available. D. R. Horton is offering 22 floorplans across its Express Series and Tradition Series. The selection ranges from relatively compact three-bedroom homes to expansive two-story residences with five bedrooms, multiple bathrooms and three-car garages.

The floorplans include both one-story and two-story designs, with approximately 1,475 to 4,072 square feet among the 22 currently listed plans. Buyers can choose from three-, four- and five-bedroom configurations, with a variety of garage arrangements and living-space options.

This range is particularly significant because it allows Auberon Woods to compete across several segments of the new-construction market rather than concentrating on one price or home-size category. The availability of so many different designs appears to be helping the community attract a wider pool of buyers and may be one of the contributing factors behind its sales performance.

A closer look at all 22 floorplans

The selection is especially impressive when looking at the individual designs. There are six three-bedroom plans, 11 four-bedroom plans and five five-bedroom plans. Some are designed around efficient single-level living, while others provide considerably more square footage, additional bedrooms and larger second-floor living areas.

Additional community features

Horton's Home Is Connected smart-home system.

Many of the two-story homes also offer spacious upstairs loft areas, conveniently located laundry rooms and private bedroom suites with one or two walk-in closets, depending on the design.
Community amenities add to the appeal. D.R. Horton's current community listing indicates that the swimming pool and pickleball courts are now open, with additional amenities, including a basketball court and fitness room, planned.

Sales success and what remains

The sales history at Auberon Woods provides an indication of just how well the community has performed. The first homes closed in March 2023, and by November 2026, the development has moved beyond the halfway point in its overall sellout.

Homes have sold from approximately $237,500 to around $580,000, with an average selling price of approximately $372,000. The wide range in sales prices reflects the different home sizes, configurations and price points that have been available throughout the development.

More than half of the approved homes have now sold, but there is still a considerable amount of development ahead. The southeastern sections of the community remain to be built and sold, with D. R. Horton planning a total of 16 building phases.

The 22-floorplan selection is an important part of the Auberon Woods story. Having six three-bedroom designs, 11 four-bedroom designs and five five-bedroom designs gives buyers an unusually broad range of choices in one location. Combined with its convenient highway access, proximity to the Lewis Ocean Bay Heritage Preserve and substantial planned amenities, Auberon Woods has established itself as one of the more significant new-home developments in the Conway area.
