Greater Myrtle Beach Area - Horry County: Real Estate Market
North Myrtle Beach, South Carolina... with its miles of beautiful beaches and more than 100 world-class championship golf courses, offers a very coveted lifestyle. Our community is situated in the far north east region of South Carolina in Horry County along the sun-kissed shores of the Grand Strand, an area flanked by the Atlantic Ocean and the Intra-Coastal Waterway. With its natural beauty and recreational opportunities, the area includes the thriving communities of North Myrtle Beach, Myrtle Beach, and Little River. Just north of us and across the state line lie the neighboring coastal North Carolina communities of Ocean Isle Beach, Sunset Beach, and Calabash.
The current Horry County real estate market is clamoring for upscale properties and properties of this type are selling steadily. As well, there is a growing demand for oceanfront and boulevard (just across the street from the beach) properties. New resorts are being developed and sold out within short time periods. Condominiums and large, private homes are being built along the once remote Intracoastal Waterway.
With the recent additions of Veterans Highway (Hwy. 22) and the Carolina Bays Parkway (Hwy. 31), the inland countryside and coastal areas are suddenly joined as never before. Traveling to and from the beach areas has never been easier. As a result of the expanded road system, the availability of properties close to the beach at reasonable prices is presenting new opportunities.
If you are considering relocating, purchasing a primary, second home or condo, or investing in property, we invite you to visit the web sites below to learn more about the Myrtle Beach area. If we can answer any questions, please contact us.
