Retirement and 55 Plus Communities

Retirement and 55 Plus Communities

There are not very many designated 55 plus neighborhoods in the Myrtle Beach, South Carolina area but this link will give you those that presently have the designation. 

If you are planning on retirement in The Grand Strand and you want a community where most of your neighbors are retired that will not be hard to find.  Retirees and those buying a second home for retirement make up the majority of real estate buyers along the coast.

See my post of April 19, 2013 for information about the newest active adult community in Myrtle Beach.

Building A Home

Having a home built can be a challenge to say the least and since many people live somewhere else during the construction process it can be a nightmare.    Small general contractors hire sub-contractors to do each phase and there can easily be a lack of communication between what the home buyer wants and what is told to a sub.  If you can't be on the site during the framing, installation of plumbing fixtures, cabinets, counters, and flooring consider finding someone who has the knowledge to spot errors.

Buying a home in a community developed by a national builder is usually a better way to avoid problems, especially if you live miles from the job site and /or do not have some knowledge of home building.
