Read Why So Many Choose Conway, SC for Retirement
Year-round warmth. Low cost of living. Some of the nation’s best golf. Family beaches and national parks. Endless entertainment. Those are a smattering of the reasons why so many people opt to retire to the Myrtle Beach area. When our team decided to build a new independent living community, with middle class Americans as our priority, we chose the area for the same reasons. And we went a step further, picking Conway (about a 20 minute drive from Myrtle Beach proper), which comes with the added bonus of a small-town feel, complete with picturesque downtown and close knit community.
Maybe you’re exploring condos on the shore, or perhaps you’re looking farther inland for a more affordable option. Have you considered the idea of independent living? The big draw here is you have a ready-made community of similarly aged adults who are probably a lot like you: They’re ready to retire and they’re ready to do less mundane day-to-day work, but they’re not ready to slow down. If that sounds like your current stage of life, read on. Let us show you how our community is different – and why retiring to our Myrtle Beach area community may be your next best move.
Our Top Reasons to Retire to Prime Carolina Coast in Conway, SC:
- Close Proximity to Myrtle Beach
Just 15 miles from Myrtle Beach, Conway offers retirees the best of both worlds: the tranquility of a small town and easy access to a world-famous beach and all its entertainment and extras. Our community is – by design – just off Hwy 501, which offers a straight shot to just about every destination you’re heading to. In 20 minutes you can be shopping or dining at Broadway at the Beach, checking out a pirate-themed dinner show with the grandkids, or unpacking a picnic basket in Brookgreen Gardens. - Southern Charm, Community Closeness
Conway embodies so many of the characteristics that make South Carolina one of the most moved-to states in the U.S. You’ll enjoy a small-town feel, with most events happening on Main Street, and friendly neighbors who take a genuine interest in each other. Local gatherings like car shows, parades, and seasonal events are widely attended by the entire community. And, if you feel like staying even closer to home, you’ll love all the in-house events hosted by Prime, from weekly karaoke to incredibly fun themed parties and shindigs. - South Carolina’s Natural Beauty & Temperate Climate
Feeling outdoorsy? We can relate. The climate in our neck of the woods makes it comfortable to get outdoors nearly all year long. Whether that means strolling among the oaks by the Waccamaw River, wandering the renowned Brookgreen Gardens, or just taking your best (four-legged) friend down to our community’s Bark Park, you won’t need a winter parka to take it all in. - Dining & Entertainment Options Abound
Maybe you’re thinking of retiring to the Myrtle Beach area to be closer to family, or maybe you’re planning on hosting them from your new place at the beach. You couldn’t choose a better place for the entire family – think countless options for mini-golf, attractions like waterparks and kid-centric museums, live shows and concerts, upmarket restaurants and dive bars, dolphin tours and fishing charters. - Golf, Golf, Golf
Whether you’re serious about the game or you’ve not yet picked up a putter, there’s a golf game for you here. Prime Carolina Coast is adjacent to Wild Wing, a 27-hole course designed by three-time major champion Larry Nelson and Jeff Brauer. Farther afield you’ll find more than 100 local courses that cater to various skill levels and budgets. Finding a tee time has never been easier.
A Final Note…
Our list wouldn’t be complete without a nod to everything you can do right here in our community. While many of our residents take their cars out every day, it’s always a relief to know that everything you need is under one roof – excellent dining that changes according to resident feedback, daily events on-site, clubs and social groups, fitness center and billiards… Shall we go on? The Myrtle Beach area has all the fun for an active retirement that you can imagine, but Prime Independent Living takes that to the next level with a unique and all-inclusive option for retiring with as little worry as possible.
Don’t take our word for it, though. We would love to see you here for a tour and we’re happy to answer any questions you have. Contact us to schedule your visit.
