When your career years have ended 
and you’re searching for your own private sanctuary in the sun, you should consider Myrtle Beach as one of the top cities to which you can retire and get the most for your money. Recently named as the third fastest growing market in the U.S. the Grand Strand will provide you with quality, value, and a lifestyle that you’ll come to love during your golden years.
Making the most of your retirement funds becomes a very important issue when you are no longer working. South Carolina doesn’t tax your Social Security benefits and offers you a very generous deduction when you begin to figure your state income tax. You’ll find that your property taxes in Myrtle Beach are low, as a senior you’ll qualify for a homestead exemption, and the total package of living expenses is very affordable.
Myrtle Beach and the surrounding areas already have a significant retirement population which means that the healthcare facilities and care are exceptional. You’ll find award-winning medical centers, the latest technology, and most modern treatments available in the healthcare industry. There’s a plethora of in-home health care services, services to assist you with transportation, and centers where you can meet other senior and make new friends who share your interests.
If you enjoy having an active lifestyle, then Myrtle Beach is the location for you. We have over 60 miles of pristine beaches, 100 golf courses, a myriad of tennis and fitness facilities, and community groups that always have an exciting activity planned for you and your friends. If you enjoy community service projects, Myrtle Beach offers you religious organizations, art groups, and professional associations with which you can partner for volunteer services. You always feel better when you are helping someone in need and along the Grand Strand you’re sure to find a project that is deserving of your time and talents.
Throughout the year you’ll find plenty of activities to keep you engaged and enjoying your life to the fullest. From the Can-Am Days to the Blue Crab Festival to Mayfest on Main you can enjoy great food, excellent fellowship, and a lot of fun. You may want to put the Beach, Boogie, and BBQ Festival on your Labor Day Calendar of events, the Little River Shrimp and Jazz Festival for October, and the Loris Bog-Off Festival for arts and crafts, fireworks, and live entertainment.
No matter what the time of year, you can find something worthwhile to do in your new home in Myrtle Beach. You’ll be creating new memories, making new friends, and embarking on a new lifestyle along the beautiful scenery of the Low Country.
The most popular retirement (55+) communities in the area are Seasons at Prince Creek and Carillon at Tuscany.
