Can someone clue me in as to why the Surfside Triangle section of Surfside Beach is more like the Bermuda Triangle as far as real estate prices go? Everything there seems dirt cheap. I've looked at houses in Deerfield Plantation and the associated townhouses such as Deer Track online and the listing prices for foreclosures are in the low-mid $50s/square foot. I know that it's an older complex and that the golf course is closed and in litigation with the surrounding homeowners but is the neighborhood basically sound? The houses and townhouses look OK online but I know that there's no substitute for personal inspection. TIA for any info, particularly if you live there.
There are a number of RE experts on here who can provide you better info. Right now, there's not a lot of building going on around here, but sooner or later, their golf course will turn into something else - condos, homes, ??? Current properties that were once golf course view will sooner or later be staring at something much different. Uncertainly usually depresses value.
I don't know anything about the Surfside Triangle section of Surfside Beach but I clicked on your link. There is a lot of helpful information for a newbie like myself. Coming from Maryland, home of the Chesapeake Bay (one of the most disgusting bodies of water in the USA) and a state that has to rank high as one of the most environmentally negligent in the country, it is encouraging to see such an organization exists in the state. Thanks for the link .
The SCELP is a superb organization, and one of only a very few who have any success in standing up to coastal developers regarding environmental issues. Jimmy Chandler ran for Georgetown County Council a few years ago. Unfortunately, he was a Democrat in a Waccamaw Neck district, so there were no hopes whatsoever of him getting elected. He's the type of leader that has been missing from local gov't along the Grand Strand for too long.

They sure seem like they do a hell of a job.
Also, to any facebook junkies (like myself) they are on there as well. If you hit become a fan you will get updates as they are posted.
