Myrtle Beach Overview

Sometimes known as the “northernmost city in Florida,” Myrtle Beach is a popular vacation destination that attracts more than 14 million visitors a year. With only 30,000 permanent residents, it’s been compared to living in a small town with big city accommodations like hospitals and transportation. According to the 2010 Census, Myrtle Beach is the ninth-fastest-growing city in the US, with a projected 7,000 new households to be added from 2012 to 2017. Apartments in Myrtle Beach can allow you to enjoy the beach bum life right by the coast, or give you a chance to retire and downsize for a simpler life in the sun.

Why live in Myrtle Beach, SC?

With its mild weather, warm waters, and endless sandy beaches, Myrtle Beach is a popular vacation spot for a reason. Why not make these things a part of your everyday life by coming here to stay? The southern charm, the history, the seafood, and the many attractions are just the tip of the iceberg of what makes Myrtle Beach such a great place to live. You may soon find that you don’t miss baking in 90 percent humidity or shoveling the snow off your driveway every winter. Instead, you’ll enjoy the vacation life year-round.
