Market Common

The Myrtle Beach Air Force Base closed in 1993. The City and the Myrtle Beach Air Base Redevelopment Authority helped turn the property into the Market Common district. The authority is the group that helped reuse the base. City information reviewed on September 24, 2026 described more than 150 history markers across the old base. Open the history link to learn about the places you may see nearby.

Not by itself. The City describes the Market Common District as part of Myrtle Beach and runs nearby parks and facilities. The 3,936-acre former base also includes the airport and other development. A district name, a home-search label and city limits are different things. Check the full home address with the City before relying on its limits or services; do not decide from the Market Common name alone.

City information reviewed on September 24, 2026 described Grand Park as open space with sports fields, a large lake and walking and biking trails. The nearby Grand Park Athletic Complex has lighted fields with artificial turf, a surface made to look like grass. These are public recreation places near The Market Common; a nearby home does not include a right to use every facility. Open the City page and check rules before planning a visit.

The City's Savannah's Playground opened in fall 2016 behind Crabtree Memorial Gymnasium at The Market Common. The City information reviewed on September 24, 2026 described it as free and designed for children of all ages and abilities. Those are dated details, not a promise about today's access. Open the City page to check visitor information before you go. Being nearby does not make the playground a private amenity of a home.

The Market Common opened in April 2008. Its operator described it as an outdoor shopping, dining and event center with leased residences, which are homes people rent. The September 24, 2026 review also noted the operator's event calendar. Use that calendar to check dates and details for a visit. Do not assume an old event description is this year's program, or that every surrounding home includes the district's services.

Check the exact home's school assignment and FEMA flood map. FEMA is the federal agency that maps flood zones. Ask for any homeowners association rules and fees; an association is a group that may set rules for a neighborhood. The shopping district's name does not tell you a home's rules or costs.
