Myrtle Beach Real Estate

Incorporated in 1938 Myrtle Beach today has become a haven for tourists, golfers, families, snowbirds, and 2^nd home owners. Its name comes from the wax myrtle, a shrub that grows abundantly in the area. Myrtle Beach has become so well know, it is commonly used to describe the whole “Grand Strand” that stretches from Georgetown, South Carolina to Calabash, North Carolina. According to the 2000 Census, the city is at the heart of the 13th fastest growing metropolitan area in the U.S. The metropolitan population is counted at 196,629 in 2000. Combining all three counties (Horry, Georgetown, and Brunswick, North Carolina), the metro population is 346,548.Of course, the Atlantic Ocean is the number one attraction and the #1 reason so many families visit Myrtle Beach year after year.  Our clean, wide beaches are extremely inviting.  Myrtle Beach also offers a wealth of recreation, entertainment, dining, shopping and vacation opportunities for visitors and tourists. For this reason, the Myrtle Beach Area attracts over 14 million visitors a year. Myrtle Beach kicks off its summer season each year with the Sun Fun Festival at the beginning of June.

Myrtle Beach has become a year round destination with over 1600 restaurants. When the sun begins to set many stay around for the Family Fun and Entertainment or the vibrant nightclub scene. Myrtle Beach has something for everyone. North Myrtle Beach is still known for the Shag Dance that started back in the 1930s. The Myrtle Beach area also remains the golf capital of the world with over 110 well known golf courses.

As I continue to grow my web presence centered around the Myrtle Beach Area, I will post all of my listings and keep you up-to-date on Open Houses on the Myrtle Beach Real Estate Blog. I will keep you in tact with where to go when in Myrtle Beach on the Myrtle Beach Events page and most important, keep you informed on the Myrtle Beach Real Estate Market.
