THIS IS A TOP PICK
Southgate is one of dozens of planned developments within an area known as Carolina Forest. Carolina Forest, in unincorporated Horry County, was carved out of 12,000 acres of timberland in the mid-1990s. West of and adjacent to the Intracoastal Waterway, it is bordered by Highway 501 and International Drive. Most homes in Southgate were built between 2000 and 2005 and range from 1,200 to 1,800 GLA (heated square feet) with 3-bedrooms. Prices range from about $90K to $160K with an average price of around $120K.
Photo shown above is typical house in subject S/D. See below for actual subject photos.
Pros: Carolina Forest is close to everything; ten minutes to beaches, downtown Myrtle Beach and the airport. Plus, it has a sought-after school district.
Con: Some 15,000 people use the main road through Carolina Forest, connecting Highway 501 and International Drive, and until it’s widened to four lanes, you can expect it to be slow going and congested during rush hour.
