Garden City delivers the easygoing coastal rhythm many people seek, with days that seamlessly shift from surf to sunset. The heart of local life beats along The Pier at Garden City, a beloved spot for fishing, family arcade fun, live music, and breezy ocean views. Just south of Myrtle Beach and adjacent to Surfside Beach, it’s also minutes from the seafood shacks and creekside boardwalk of Murrells Inlet, making dinner decisions deliciously difficult in the best way.
Outdoors, choices multiply: paddle the marsh at first light, cast a line from the pier, or explore the pristine shoreline and birding trails at Huntington Beach State Park, a quick hop from town. Families value everyday convenience, too—grocers, coffee spots, mini golf, and seasonal fireworks are close at hand, and the community calendar hums all summer. Students in the area are primarily served by Horry County schools through Horry County Schools, known for strong programs and extracurriculars, while the southern edge touches Georgetown County.
Housing runs the gamut from oceanfront condos with on-site amenities to raised beach cottages and inlet-view homes that make weekend boating a reality. Whether you’re moving up, scaling down, or relocating for the first time, Agent Pronto can connect you with a top local agent to buy with confidence or sell for the best result.
