You get the picture.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re considering a move but can\u2019t find the right destination, why not consider the small coastal town of Conway, South Carolina? In the last few years, Conway has rapidly become a popular destination for older adults retiring in South Carolina. When you look a bit closer, that\u2019s really not surprising. Here are eight great reasons to retire to Conway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Mild Climate<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>If you like your hometown setting warm with a touch of spicy heat, Conway\u2019s a great place for you. Set just 15 miles inland from South Carolina\u2019s beautiful coast, the town boasts a mild to warm climate. In winter, temperatures may dip into the 30s at night, but mostly they hover between 40\u201360 degrees. Sunny summertime averages range from the mid 80s to the low 90s\u2014perfect for outdoor gardening, beach adventures, golf outings, and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"2\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Small-town Feel<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Conway has grown a lot in the past decade, but it still maintains that small-town feel and Southern charm. Expect to be greeted by neighbors and residents on the streets of the delightful downtown area. The city hosts regular <a href=\"https:\/\/conwayalive.com\/events\/\"><strong>community events<\/strong><\/a>, like the summer \u201cGroovin\u2019 on the Green\u201d concert series sponsored by local businesses, and the downtown area is largely populated by locally owned businesses, boutiques, and restaurants. Bottom line, if you want, you\u2019ll get to know people and they\u2019ll get to know you.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"3\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Natural and Historic Charm<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"2\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Conway\u2019s been around for a while\u2014since 1732, in fact\u2014in no small part because of the serene blackwater river, the Waccamaw, that flows right through it. The river creates a picturesque environment downtown and flows onward through the nearly 23,000-acre Waccamaw National Wildlife Refuge, a wonderful place to explore if you love the outdoors. The town also boasts a rich historic district downtown with many buildings now on the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nationalregister.sc.gov\/horry\/S10817726009\/index.htm\"><strong>National Register of Historic Places<\/strong><\/a>. Plus, Conway is home to two great museums\u2014the Horry County Museum and L.W. Paul Living History Farm (free admission).&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"4\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Myrtle Beach and Other Things to Do<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"3\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Conway may feel like a small town, but you won\u2019t lack for resources and attractions. For example, just 15 miles away on the coast, Myrtle Beach is home to some of South Carolina\u2019s most popular beaches as well as a raft of fun attractions, including 80+ golf courses. Besides the offerings in Conway and Myrtle Beach, you can find plenty of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.primeindependentliving.com\/gastonia\/blog\/12-exciting-day-trips-for-seniors-near-conway-and-myrtle-beach\/\"><strong>fun day trips<\/strong><\/a> up and down the coast.

No problem\u2014we got you. \ud83d\udc4d Let\u2019s drill down into some retirement fundamentals, starting with Conway\u2019s overall cost of living.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For most middle-class Americans, retirement entails living on a fixed income. The last thing you want to do is head to an expensive location that will stretch your resources too far as the years pass. Thankfully, Conway boasts a very affordable cost of daily living\u2014in fact, it\u2019s about <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bestplaces.net\/cost_of_living\/city\/sc\/conway\"><strong>9% lower overall<\/strong><\/a> than the national average.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"6\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Tax-friendly<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"5\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Another piece to the financial puzzle? South Carolina tax laws are incredibly friendly to older adults\u2014especially retirees. The state does not tax Social Security benefits at all. When it comes to income taxes, adults ages 65 and up can take up to $15,000 dollars in a deduction. Furthermore, <a href=\"https:\/\/dor.sc.gov\/lgs\/homestead-exemption\"><strong>the Homestead Exemption<\/strong><\/a> waives property taxes on the first $50,000 of value on the legal residence they occupy. And since 2007, these same homeowners are exempted from paying any school-operating property taxes. Find even more awesome tax tips for seniors on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.primeindependentliving.com\/gastonia\/blog\/8-reasons-to-retire-to-conwaysc\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>the SC Department of Revenue site<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"7\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Housing<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"6\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>A key part of Conway\u2019s lower cost of living is the area\u2019s affordable and varied housing resources. The city has a strong supply of homes, and the median price for a two-bedroom home hovers around $167,000. The average monthly rent for a two-bedroom apartment is just $1,142. Best yet for senior adults, Conway is home to quite a number of thriving retirement communities that range from full-time care to communities of independent homes for age 55+ homeowners. Prefer to downsize? Try an independent senior living community like Prime Carolina Coast, where active, age-55+ adults live in fully independent apartments of their own and also enjoy amazing <a href=\"https:\/\/www.primeindependentliving.com\/senior-living-amenities\/\"><strong>community amenities<\/strong><\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"8\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Resources for Older Adults<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"7\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Last but not least, Conway welcomes older adults, offering great resources through both state and local organizations. South Carolina\u2019s Department on Aging puts senior adults in touch with <a href=\"https:\/\/aging.sc.gov\/programs-and-initiatives\"><strong>support of all types<\/strong><\/a>, from legal advice to healthcare and homecare assistance. When it comes to healthcare, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.usnews.com\/news\/best-states\/rankings\/health-care\/healthcare-quality\/medicare-quality\"><strong><em>U.S. News and World Report<\/em> ranks<\/strong><\/a> the state #9 in Medicare quality and #10 in overall health care quality. Renowned research hospital MUSC is also two hours away in Charleston.
