Instead of writing a professional press release about this new project, I've decided to just write my own personal opinion to spread the news.
Myrtle Beach "proper" (as versus North Myrtle Beach and surrounding areas) is a long stretch of beach...from about 82nd Ave North, down to 1st Ave, all the way to 27th Ave South. That's about 100 blocks. They estimate 8 blocks to a mile, so that's about 12-13 miles of beach and condos.
The more residential, and more expensive part of Myrtle Beach real estate is on the north end... from 32nd Ave North on up. It's not necessarily any better...just has always been considered the rich section.
The Pavilion area is located around 9th Ave North, for about 5 blocks either way. That's always been the most run-down section, although they are renovating it as fast as land can be bought and condos can be put up. Now the Myrtle Beach Boardwalk has added a lot to the area as well. The last I heard, they were going to move the Pavilion out on the bypass and that whole area would be condos eventually.
Anyway, it's always been a little less expensive on the south side of the pavilion...
The biggest and best of the developers in Myrtle Beach, Strand Capital Groups, has taken on the renovation of a "village" known as Sea Mist Resort, which is just a little south of the Pavilion area. The Sea Mist starts on Ocean Blvd at 11th Ave South and goes for 4 blocks south, and also includes 3 rows back. It's a HUGE development, and has always had everything from the oceanfront tower motel rooms to cottages, going clear back to Hwy 17. It has the area's largest waterpark, all kinds of pools, spas, lazy rivers, stores, restaurants -- you name it. It's the closest thing to an "all inclusive" resort that we have.
Sea Mist has thousands of loyal vacationers...generations have stayed there and wouldn't stay anywhere else. It's uncrowded, but close to everything. You can do beach, pool, store, and dinner without driving anywhere. It's been there, and immensely popular, since I was a kid.
Now they are going high-rise. This development will probably be the biggest, the fanciest, and the most sought-after place in Myrtle Beach in the next few years. They are doing the renovation through PUD, which is approved by the city for the betterment of the public. It will add things of beauty, like public parks, extra- nicer parking, traffic control, safety measures, and all types of things that will make Myrtle Beach an even better place to live and vacation in.
The renovation of Oceanfront Condos in Myrtle Beach, such as Sea Mist, begins with 2 oceanfront hotel towers, the Driftwood and the Tides Buildings. They will be converted into efficiency condos, completely upgraded, and made like new. THIS is what I want to bring to everyone's attention. Because they are studio apartments, these units are being priced between $109,000 and $199,000 FOR OCEANFRONT. There is no other resort in Myrtle Beach that is priced this low, and anyone who can afford a second home can afford this.
I'm familiar with almost everything in both North Myrtle and Myrtle, and I have yet to see anything that I would get this excited over. Anyone who wants to invest in Myrtle Beach preconstruction real estate but can't afford the $500,000 PLUS price of an oceanfront condo should look into this. When they are gone, I will bet anything that there will never be another investment resort with prices like this.
The Sea Mist condos are going to go fast. They are selling in conjunction with a new preconstruction condo tower that is also "angled oceanfront", called the New Oasis. These luxury condos will also be perfect for everyone that loves the area and the project, and prefers larger units.
The entire 12 acre project will be renovated as an ongoing thing, brand new top-of-the-line pools, indoor pools, fitness centers, lazy rivers, and everything else will eventually be a part of this fantastic resort. The Sea Mist is a once in a lifetime opportunity for people like me, who aren't multi-millionaires.
Can you tell I'm excited? :-)
