Grand Strand Communities

MARKET COMMON
Market Common has become possibly one of the
most desirable places to live in Myrtle Beach.
A town center with shops and restaurants such
as Victoria’s Secret, Barnes & Noble, Bath & Body
Works, P.F. Changs, and Ultimate California Pizza
anchor a group of live/work condos directly above
and around the retail square. Prices range from
the low $200s to the $600s for deluxe units.
A network of single-family planned communities,
including an active adult community, surrounds
this central area, each with its own ambience,
amenities, and landscaping. Home prices range
from the low $200s to more than $500,000.

North Strand

The settlers of Horry County were hard working
farmers, timbermen and turpentine distillers.
Through their labors and reliance on the available
natural resources, they developed the county
into “The Independent Republic of Horry.” The
historical society’s publication, The Independent
Republic Quarterly, still bears the name of the
once-isolated territory. In the pre-Colonial and
Colonial days, the inlets of the coast were havens
for pirates, such as the infamous Blackbeard, and
in Civil War days, blockade-runners. Today, the
area is home to the North Strand cities and towns
of North Myrtle Beach and its sub-communities
of Ocean Drive, Cherry Grove, Windy Hill and
Crescent Beach, Little River, Briarcliffe Acres,
Loris, and Atlantic Beach.

BRIARCLIFFE ACRES

(POPULATION 510)

The town of Briarcliffe Acres, located primarily on
the east side of Highway 17 between Myrtle Beach
and North Myrtle Beach, is an exclusively single-
family residential community with conservation
zoning for parks and wetlands. A noticeable and
distinctive feature of this unique town is that there
is no commercial zoning whatsoever.

The Briarcliffe Acres Association, a property
owner association formed prior to the town,
manages and controls the land adjacent to the
beach, including the cabana, the parks and lakes,
and the 40-foot buffer zone along Highway 17.
