Retirees Are Moving To Myrtle Beach

 Ninety-nine percent of the buyers I help are retired or retiring within the next few years.  Some have never visited the area before but have read that Myrtle Beach is one of the top ten places to retire.  If you are trying to decide where to live after retirement think of this area as The Grand Strand.  The Grand Strand is a sixty mile coastal area with the actual city of Myrtle Beach as the center. 

The city of Myrtle Beach along the ocean is primarily condos and hotels for the tourists and probably not desirable for a full time resident.  The outlying areas of Myrtle Beach and the surroundings cities within The Grand Strand offer great neighborhoods and lower taxes.

Myrtle Beach Area Is Great For Retirement

Every day someone contacts me about wanting to retire in Myrtle Beach but after we go over their wish list the search takes us outside of the "city limits" of Myrtle Beach.  Some places may even have a Myrtle Beach mailing address but they are not in the heart of the vacationers playground. 

When you decide to live somewhere permanently chances are being close to the amenities is important and that is what the areas surrounding the City of Myrtle Beach have to offer.  Areas such as North Myrtle Beach, Little River, Longs, the Market Common area of south end Myrtle Beach, Surfside Beach, Garden City, Litchfield, and Pawley's Island.  Also there are some great areas like Calabash, Carolina Shores, Sunset Beach, Ocean Isle Beach, and Holden Beach just over the boarder in North Carolina that have attracted many retirees.

When you begin to consider retirement start a wish list of everything that matters or that will be important in your future.
