Myrtle Beach at a glance

Myrtle Beach is a Horry County city at the heart of the Grand Strand, incorporated in 1938 and a city since 1957. The Myrtle Beach Boardwalk & Promenade runs along the oceanfront from 16th Avenue North to First Avenue South, and the 1937 train depot, restored and reopened in 2004, is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The former Myrtle Beach Air Force Base, closed in 1993, is now the Market Common district, with open space, recreation fields, a large lake and walking and bicycling trails. City limits stay east of the Intracoastal Waterway except at Grande Dunes, and the MLS Myrtle Beach search also includes unincorporated addresses. Compare homes on the map, then check each address for city limits, school assignment, flood designation and estimated taxes.
