Year-round warmth. Low cost of living. Some of the nation\u2019s best golf. Family beaches and national parks. Endless entertainment. <\/em>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.<\/p>\n\n\n\nOur Top Reasons to Retire to Prime Carolina Coast in Conway, SC:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
