Two hundred thousand is where the Grand Strand opens up. Most first-time beach buyers land here, and so do a lot of investors, because this is the price band with the deepest inventory and the widest spread of choices.
You can go three directions with this budget. A one bedroom oceanfront in a well-run resort building. A two bedroom a block or two off the water. Or a larger townhome inland with a garage and real square footage.
Oceanfront buys you rental demand and a view, in a smaller unit with higher monthly costs. Second row buys you space and a lower assessment, with a thirty-second walk instead of an elevator ride. Inland buys you the most room for the money and the least rental income.
None of those is the right answer by itself. It depends on whether this place is mainly for you or mainly for the calendar.
Surfside Beach and Garden City Beach both have steady supply here, and both feel quieter than the center of Myrtle Beach. Cherry Grove and the north end of North Myrtle Beach stretch a two hundred thousand budget further than Ocean Drive does. Conway and Carolina Forest give you the most house, about twenty minutes from the sand.
Condos in this range tend to draw multiple showings in their first week, so it pays to be ready with your financing before you start looking.
