Myrtle Beach Real Estate - Conway

Conway Real Estate, Country Living At It's Best!

While in the Grand Strand area, take a leisure trip to investigate the quaint town of Conway (a historical masteroiece) and discover the old time charm that many of us still cherish. Conway is one of the oldest towns in South Carolina and originally named Kingston, the town was founded in 1734 and laid out on a riverbluff in what in the center of what became Horry County.

Many area residents fought in the American Revolution and many small engagements were fought near Kingston at Bear Bluff and Black Lake. Francis Marion, known as the "Swamp Fox" had an encampment near Kingston just across the Waccamaw River.

After the war, patriotic citizens rallied together and changed the name to Conwayborough after General Robert Conway. It then became a bustling riverport. naval stores with the production of tar, pitch and turpentine became the premier occupation of area residents.

The towns name was shortened to Conway in 1883 and in 1887 the railway reached the town and in 1898 the first mayor was elected.

Located in the center of town is the Horry County Museum and Courthouse.

Conway Real Estate:

Conway real estate can be found west of the Intercoastal Waterway (ICW) which tends to hold home prices down for both new construction as well as resale homes. In the last few years Conway real estate has seen an explosion in new home construction, primarily caused by lower land costs as well as being further from the oceanfront. Although you do have somewhat of a drive to the beach (20-30 minutes) the savings you might find when purchasing can well outway the short trip.

There are numerous new sub-divisions recently started by well known local builders from the Myrtle Beach real estate area. If interested I would be more than happy to email you a list of new developments or mail them to you with Conway real estate maps and brochures. Although small, Conway real estate is a place that you will be glad you took time to investigate, enjoyable by adults and children as well.
