Only on the beach does 90° feel pleasant. Notice how I didn’t say at the beach as in in a city that has one, I mean on the beach. So if it’s real hot outside, go to the beach and sit by the water and you’ll be fine. I always look forward to my vacation every summer because where I live in Charlotte, there is no beach and there is no escape from even more oppressive heat.
Farther inland is the way to go, Conway is a beautiful town. Folks are getting walloped along the coast with property-tax reassessments and increasing insurance premiums. Property-taxes here are particularly problematic because there's no annual percentage-cap increase on property-taxes, and property-values in some areas along the coast have really skyrocketed.
You kidding me? I sold up in the NYC suburbs, found a home for less than a buck twenty five (yes, meaning LESS than $125,000) which is the same size as a condo but a free standing home with NO HOA'S!! My ANNUAL taxes (attention NY/NJ/CT) are LESS than $1,000 a year! So forget negative stereotypes for mobile homes, since in North Myrtle you see MERCEDES, LEXUS, BMW and Harleys in the driveways, so as the southerners would say "this ain't trailer trash!" Move to NORTH MYRTLE, check ZIllow, and if you find a house for less than $125K and you only need a bedroom or two, you should SNAP IT UP! Best move you'll ever make!
I lived in MB for 14 years. I am a Respiratory Therapist and it was the lowest-paying job I ever had my experience, the lowest in the country. My condo on the ocean in 2013 cost me $60,000 on a golf course. It was wonderful. The jobs pay little and housing can be low because the entire area is 70% retirement. Old retired people don't want to pay too much for things. Oh.....and nothing ever changes down there so time flies because there is no or little seasonal change to define a year.
I'm visiting my son in MB over July 4th. You're right about the humidity. Still, it's a great place to live. He lives in The Parks (Fort Hill Way). We own property around 74th and Ocean Blvd. Hope to move here soon. Thank you, Jeremy, for all you do!
We started coming to MB 30 plus years ago and decided to move here...BUT we knew to NEVER move into MB but in the outskirts. We live in Conway...pay 675.00 a year property tax on our house. Add that...tax on the RV, the car and truck we pay under 2000 a year total tax. In NY we were paying over 8000 and got nothing for it. MB has too many tourists and is crammed with housing more like living on Long Island NY.
Hey Jeremy love your videos brotha. You’re a natural. I’m not sure if you’re aware of this another reason not to move is because the schools here academically are horrible. They’ve even worse if you have a child with a disability. Also, There are few resources for people in the community. NJ is a bad example on taxes since They are ridiculous but SC also taxes you yearly on your car and you have to pay taxes on clothing. The government gets their money one way or another. Keep up the great videos. I thoroughly enjoy them. Thank you.
The best kept secret in the North Myrtle area, is the amazing waterfront communities of high end mobile homes. When you drive around my neighborhood, called Foxfire, and see Lexus, Mercedes and BMW in the driveways, it makes total sense how you can have a car like this and a really nice home. For LESS than $125K (yes, you read that right people from NJ and NY like me) you can own a home with the same space as a condo, take a golf cart to the beach and pay LESS than $1,000 in taxes! People don't think about this HUGE benefit with leased land! People have the same beautiful, landscaped yards, but not the taxes that go with it! Forget condo boards and HOA fees as much as a mortgage payment! Find a home with the renovations already done (there are some with no work needed), buy it outright, and live the salt life! I am SO glad I didn't buy a condo after I sold my big house! Put the money in the bank and LIVE, LIVE, LIVE! Check Zillow or Realtor - You just may find the perfect North Myrtle Beach home like I did!! I haven't been bit by one mosquito yet, no termites, and proper pest control keeps the Palmetto bugs (aka "roaches") at bay!
I live here for 8 years and I love it. I lived in Florida over 20 years and it was the best move.

Oh, come on dude in Charlotte. It seems like no one knows where they’re going and we don’t get that many tourists.

Ouch!
