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.
