Live in a Former Myrtle Beach Air Force Base

Sunday, June 8th, 2008

Are you looking for a Myrtle Beach condo? If so, you may want to consider moving to the Myrtle Beach Air Force Base. The base was used by the United States Air Force in the past, but was closed down during 1993. Although many people do not even know it, the base is being turned into a housing development, which is called Withers Preserve.

One of the biggest problems with the Myrtle Beach Air Force Base being turned into Withers Preserve is that it is highly controversial. Many people, including those who once lived on the base while they were in the air force and others who just lived in the area, do not feel that anyone should do anything to the base.

The Myrtle Beach Air Force Base is not entirely completed. However, many people do expect that the community which will be built on top of it will be very beautiful. It offers a location which is very convenient to the rest of Myrtle Beach. Of course, since the community is going to be such a nice one, you can also expect to see very high prices on these Myrtle Beach condo units.

Once it is completed, this is probably going to be one of the top places to live in Myrtle Beach. The main reason is because it is a community which will be filled with new constructions, in comparison to many of the other Myrtle Beach condo complexes which tend to be older. It is definitely somewhere to check out if you are interested in living in this area of SC!

What To Watch For:

When buying into these new Myrtle Beach condos, look out for a few traps:

• Costs, there are some fantastic Myrtle Beach condos right on the beach for less
• Limitations in design options
• Building costs
• Completion dates

Sandie’s Tip: If you are planning to stay or move to Myrtle Beach, we highly recommend looking into the condos in Myrtle Beach listed here. We’ve checked them out and they are worth it!

What is the Myrtle Beach Real Estate Market Like?

Sunday, June 8th, 2008

You are considering the Myrtle Beach real estate market? If you are looking for a Myrtle Beach condo to buy or rent, there is a good chance that you may be interested in learning a little more about what the real estate market in this area is like. It is important to know what the current going value on the market is. So, what should you expect when making a purchase in Myrtle Beach?

Keep in mind that Myrtle Beach is visited each year by hundreds of people. For this reason alone, properties in Myrtle Beach tend to be a little bit pricey. There are many factors which will play a role in the Myrtle Beach real estate market. Some of these factors include how old the property is, how large it is and where it is located.

If you are interested in purchasing a Myrtle Beach condo, you should expect to pay anywhere between about $2 million to $4 million on the luxury end. Due to the fact that the price of Myrtle Beach real estate is considered to be fairly high, you can also expect to pay a good deal of money when you choose to rent one. Paying about $1,000 to $1,500 for a family of four for a week is considered customary. Depending on the specific condo, it is not uncommon to pay even more.

You will pay far less for a standard condo purchase in Myrtle Beach and still get all the amenities you are after. (Look to Sandie’s Recommended Condos for some better options.)

Myrtle Beach is a very lovely area to live or even visit. The weather is very nice and most people find that they are able to enjoy the ocean just about all year long. With all of the different attractions that the town has to offer, you probably will not regret how much you do end up spending on your new SC property!

The Benefits of Buying:

• Strong real estate market outlook
• Ideal setting for retirement
• Perfect, lower costing vacation getaway all year round

Sandie Beech’s Tip: The Myrtle Beach real estate market has one main benefit over the hundreds of other potential investments: a long time tourist destination unlike any other. The fact is, even as the housing market struggles, the real estate market here will do well for years to come.

Have You Heard: Redevelopment of the Pavilion and Myrtle Beach Square Mall

Sunday, May 18th, 2008

For those that know the old Myrtle Beach including the legendary Pavilion theme park and the Myrtle Beach Square Mall, you may also know that these locations have seen better days. After the 2006 season, the Pavilion park closed down, and has since remained closed. However, there is hope out there. The redevelopment of the Myrtle Beach Pavilion and Myrtle Beach Square Mall is underway and with so many other exciting attractions developed in this area, there is no doubt, there will be more visitors because of it.

Burroughs and Chapin Co, Inc. are redeveloping the Myrtle Beach Pavilion Amusement Park. They are investing some $200 million into the project and have a new vision for the Pavilion. The new vision, as it is called, will include two hotel towers, or time-share towers. They will also include an amphitheater to seat between 500 and 1200 people, as well as 210 residential units in this area. You will also find six restaurant locations, a variety of shops and of course, all the favorites like roller coasters that bring back memories. The goal of the Redevelopment of the Myrtle Beach Pavilion and Myrtle Square Mall in Myrtle Beach is to create a unique experience that keeps visitors coming even in the winter months.

In addition to this, the Myrtle Beach Square Mall redevelopment is happening, by the same company. The goal of this 60 acres site will be to invest $40 million into the project and create a national and international convention center there. This would be an exciting trade show and convention center facility.

For those that want to see the old in Myrtle Beach come back to life, the Redevelopment of the Pavilion and Myrtle Square Mall is sure to help make that happen.
