    Spoken like a true saleman, 10 pros & 0 cons. I've spoken to real people who moved here and their huge cons are traffic, crowds everywhere doing everything, biker week, golfers, beach goers, etc all associated with tourism which is only a 4-5 month imposition. Stay west of the intercoastal waterway and you're all set.
    Btw, I love MB & have been coming here since 1976!

    Love this. Retired from northern Vermont... Canadian border northern Vermont. Although beautiful , it’s very cold and expensive! So glad to be here at The Grand Strand. Great weather, great taxes, kind people and so much to do. It’s a two day trip hone, but that’s not too, too bad. Definitely worth it.

    Hey Jeremy, I enjoyed the video, I am 49 years old and I am also from Reading, PA. Go Red Knights. Anyhow, I been living in Maine for 22 years now. Granted we own near 50 acres, our property taxes are about $5000 a year. I live within a three mile radius of everything I need, so it works. Myrtle Beach does sound nice. Maybe in 10 years I can convince the wife to consider downsizing to there. Sand as opposed to snow sounds like a nice trade off to me.

    Jeremy, thanks for the fun video! I have fond memories of camping on the beach with the family in the 60s. Now that I am in my 60s maybe it would be fun to spend my retirement back at the beach? We use to collect fossilized shark teeth on the beach but I understand these have been gone for decades.

    • @jeremyblanton

    Where are the flood areas? Do they have any flood problems during hurricanes and other lesser storms?
    Do you have to buy flood insurance? How much.?
    Do they have the Homestead Exemption in Horry County?
    I like the area and thinking of retiring there. Nice area. Vacation there numerous times over the last 40 years. Love the golf courses.

    Great video Jeremy! I dream of retiring to Myrtle Beach every day haha! The ONLY con I see is the traffic, but that is an easy trade off for all the Pro's of Myrtle Beach!
    Question: I keep hearing about how bad the crime is getting in Myrtle. Is this true/accurate, or are these stories overblown?
    Comments on the food: My family and I make it a point to have a meal at River City Burger every time we visit! We love that place!!
    Any way, thanks again for the great video! We LOVE Myrtle Beach and can't wait to visit again in about 5 weeks!!

      crime is brought by the tourist market. They come to play, misbehave many of them, and do things they hope to not get caught for. They get caught, tourist area's, always bring heightened crimes around the tourist. Those can attract opportunistic people to make a buck, play, or bring their unsavory behaviors. The local residents the crime is low.

      Traffic in the tourist areas can be a little heavy at times. The same is true of the restaurants in that area. But if you go to the local spots, it's really not that bad. As for the bugs, yes, we have those and also humidity, but that is true of everywhere in the south.

      @@deborahrabine9956 There definitely are a lot of choices in the area. The big thing to first decide is whether you want to be in Myrtle Beach, North Myrtle Beach, or the southern end of the area. Once you figure that out, then you can pick places that fit your budget. In the northern end of the beach, people like North Beach Plantation, Ocean Creek, or Kingston Plantation. As you head south some, another great option is Dunes Village Resort.
