Conway : South carolina

Conway is a fast growing small town of 17,000 in northern South Carolina, about 20 miles from Myrtle Beach.  The town grew 45% since 2000 thanks to an influx of retirees and active adults.  Active adult communities spread out in all directions.  Being adjacent to Myrtle Beach is a good thing because it provides an anchor and easy access to the amazing shopping, beaches, golf courses, and cultural venues of Myrtle Beach.

Conway has several buildings on the National Register of Historic Places- including City Hall - designed by Robert Mills who was also designed the Washington Monument. Conway's  Main Street USA project has given Conway's downtown a revitalized appearance with quaint shops and bistros. The Riverwalk is  big attraction with many great dining opportunities.

There are many active communities to choose from in this area (see link above to SC Directory). The National Association of Realtors reports the median sale price was $241,500 in the Myrtle Beach-Conway-North Myrtle Beach area during the 2nd quarter of 2020.

Low cost of living and easy access to Myrtle Beach. Coastal Carolina College adds an interesting element to the town.  Riverwalk and a revitalized downtown add to the appeal. The cost of living and taxes are very low.
