Very good chance I get a job in Myrtle Beach.
How is the rentals for apartments?
I would be an entry level employee, not making too much so I am hoping for an apartment at about 600.
Is crime an issue? Should I worry about safety and vandalism?
I still, after ten years, living here with a husband in law enforcement laugh out loud at the ignorance of the people living here....it is okay...go ahead bury your heads in the sand.... these are NOT made up and when this came up, all the law enforcement officers in Horry County had a state wide, not county wide meeting which my husband attended and some of the things discussed are quite true and very scary... this area WILL NEVER let you know the truth about what is going on out there because they DO NOT want to lose the tourists...............
This is in every city in our country. People would poop their pants if they really knew the amount of crap that happens in their towns. I always tell people to go to radio shack & pick up a fire/police scanner. Listening to the amount & type of calls for just 1 week, and it will change your mind quickly where you put your roots down.
I would like to address the concerns and comments regarding the issue of crime in Myrtle beach.
When I was first considering buying a condo in MB, I kept putting my plans on hold because of the crime stats and reviews I would read.
But as I continued visiting and talking to people and getting to know the city better and better, I finally decided to buy a condo located near "Broadway at the Beach". This is in the 29577 zip code which, if you go by the crime stats on such sites as Homefair.com, is supposedly the second most dangerous of the 5 zip code areas.
Well, I must be clueless, because I see no reason why I should have any concerns about my safety, and I can't help wonder if all the publicity about crime is some sort of conspiracy by the locals to keep this beautiful place all to themselves.
I have found the South Carolinians to be just about the nicest people on Earth, and I am blessed and grateful to have found a condo for under $50,000! Where else can you buy anything near the beach for that price?
With its mild weather year round, Myrtle Beach is both a cozy winter retreat as well as a charming summer resort. The fabulous restaurants, shops, and cultural events along with the beautiful beaches and the State Park enhance the city's charm.
Don't live your life in fear or put your dreams on hold because of a few negative reviews. Some people would do nothing but complain even if they lived in Paradise. So come down and see for yourself. Make my home yours!
