What it's like to live in Horry County?

Economic & Geographic Profile

Tourism and hospitality serve as the primary economic engines for this expansive coastal region, which encompasses over 60 miles of Atlantic shoreline known as the Grand Strand. Beyond the resort-heavy coastline, the economy is supported by a growing healthcare sector and higher education institutions like Coastal Carolina University. With a population exceeding 350,000, the county has transitioned from a seasonal destination into a year-round residential hub.

Cities & Community Character

The area offers a distinct contrast between the high-energy atmosphere of Myrtle Beach and North Myrtle Beach and the historic, inland charm of Conway, the county seat. Residents can choose between dense oceanfront living, quiet riverfront properties along the Waccamaw, or sprawling suburban tracts that provide a buffer from the primary tourist corridors.

Market Trends & Development

Rapid population growth has fueled significant homebuilding activity in Horry County, particularly in the western corridors where land availability allows for large-scale projects. Developers are increasingly focusing on master-planned communities that offer on-site amenities to meet the demand for new construction homes in Horry County. This expansion is largely driven by retirees and remote workers seeking a coastal lifestyle without the density of major metropolitan centers.

Regional Value & Lifestyle

The region remains a competitive alternative to more expensive East Coast markets, offering a lower cost of living and favorable property tax structures. Given the humid subtropical climate, modern builds prioritize high-efficiency HVAC systems and moisture-resistant materials to ensure long-term durability and manageable cooling costs.
