If you like that low country housing and desire a bigger city, look in Savannah at Skiddaway Island or if you want near the beaches and an older more established neighborhood, look at Wilmington Island.

In 1998 I was considering a move from Baltimore to Myrtle Beach and we made 3 one week trips. Myrtle Beach midtown in the winter, Pawleys Island in the spring and Little River in the summer. Overall I liked North Myrtle Beach at the time. It had a quint small town flavor, nice little library, new homes were actually bungalow style and they had a new Walmart that was the nicest one I've been in, I found products there like an old tyme fan that I've never seen at any other Walmart.

The Pawleys Island was my least favorite, kind of a sleepy little South Carolina town. I even drove 5 miles further south across the bridge into Georgetown and it might of been 100 miles inland, you would of never known you were near Myrtle Beach.

I found the area around the airport to have a lot of housing with golf courses in my price range at the time. We looked at dozens of new homes, and we found a new 3 BR 2 BA masonry rancher on the golf course fairway for $150K in a new subdivision off Dick Pond Rd. Very near everything and yet secluded. I just looked at Zillow and in that subdivision right now there is not one home for sale, and yet all around the other areas are full of resales. I looked at the street view and the place looked immaculate and grown up, very nice community.

Thank you John W. I will pass this info on.
