Anyone else planning to relo to MB area within the next few years? (Columbia: fit in, real estate market)

Well I've been holding back on signing up for this site because I didn't want to completely believe that I was going to make the jump.....but, alas I am here. I'm from the Pittsburgh, PA area and have loved beach life since I could remember. I am full on convinced now that I'm ready to make the move. If everything goes right, I hope to be down in the area within the next 6 months...CAN'T WAIT!!

We are planning on moving to Myrtle Beach in June. Right now we are struggling with finding a home that both fits our needs, schools and locations we like.
Other then that we are excited to be counting down the days to when we hit the road heading for Myrtle Beach.

@Engine12 we are building a house at Lafayette Park (off hwy111 Brooksville Rd), Should be done by July - sooner than we need it but the deals were too good to pass up (compared to current real estate in Taxachusetts), mk

New poster with two post bashing Myrtle Beach.

Why did you move to Myrtle Beach and what kind of job did you take that brought you to move to Myrtle?

Can you explain what a redneck is?

Mkaz01 - what part of Massachusetts are you from? We are buying our vacation home (hopefully) in Murrells Inlet in the next few weeks. Can't wait to leave the cold but, it will be a while for us before we can move. Taxachusetts is an accurate title!
