Talk to Us About Myrtle Beach
The Boardwalk, the SkyWheel, and Shopping
The Myrtle Beach Oceanfront Boardwalk and Promenade runs 1.2 miles from the 2nd Avenue Pier to the 14th Avenue Pier. The SkyWheel stands 187 feet tall and has 42 glass-enclosed, climate-controlled gondolas. For shopping, the area has Broadway at the Beach, Barefoot Landing, Tanger Outlets, and The Market Common, a village-style center near Myrtle Beach International Airport with shops, restaurants, and a movie theater.
The Golf Capital
Myrtle Beach bills itself as the Golf Capital of the World. If golf is part of why you are looking here, I check which communities are on or near the courses you actually play before we tour a house.
The Market Common, the Pier, and the Park
The Market Common district was established in 1994 after the Myrtle Beach Air Force base closed, and today it holds The Market Common village and Myrtle Beach International Airport, which offers more than 50 nonstop destinations. The 14th Avenue Pier has a restaurant built out over the ocean. Ripley's Aquarium at Broadway at the Beach has a 330-foot shark tunnel.
Myrtle Beach State Park has 278 campsites and a fishing pier, and it opened in 1936 as the first park in the South Carolina state park system.

Buying or Selling in Myrtle Beach
Condos, rentals, and single-family homes are all common here, and each one carries different costs, rules, and questions, such as flood zone, insurance, and association fees. For taxes, Horry County's property tax estimator shows an estimate at both the 4 percent legal residence rate and the 6 percent rate, including the city's millage, from the parcel number and taxable value, and I run it on any house you are serious about. Whether you are buying a home in Myrtle Beach, considering an investment property, or selling, get in touch and we will walk through your specific plans. A little further south, compare Murrells Inlet.
