Nearby natural beauty and vibrant community in Red Hill
Surrounded by the Waccamaw National Wildlife Refuge and bordered by the Waccamaw River, the community of Red Hill has garnered considerable attention in the last twenty years, with its population nearly doubling. Located 13 miles north of downtown Myrtle Beach, Red Hill has come into its own due to the reputation of its top-rated public schools and the development of Coastal Carolina University and Conway Medical Center. It straddles the different atmospheres of a near-rural community and a laidback college town, with the university at the center and huge preserved natural areas at the outskirts. "Conway and Red Hill share many things; most people consider them together," says Sara Boling, Realtor with Century 21 Boling & Associates, Inc. and Myrtle Beach native. "You could honestly call that whole area the feet of Horry County. It's a huge draw for people that they're right outside of the beach tourism, and Coastal Carolina University is a huge employer."

From classic architecture to modern subdivisions
Around Coastal Carolina University, homes built in the mid-to-late 20th century are lined along tree-shaded residential streets. Classic architectural styles such as ranch homes and bungalows are most common, with well-maintained front and back yards vibrant with small gardens. Away from the community's center, modern tract housing has been popping up frequently since 2000. New traditional homes with bay windows and garages are typical in newer developments. Many recently built homes sit on flatter terrains in subdivisions around Red Hill, with fenced-in backyards and, sometimes, gated entryways. "The market is really moving – there's a ton of new development. Just the county in general is one of the fastest-growing counties in America," Boling says. Housing costs are slightly lower in Red Hill than in Horry County as a whole, but the price ranges vary drastically. Older homes or smaller, contemporary properties can sell between $200,000 and $350,000, while large modern homes sell between $400,000 and $650,000.
Well-cared-for yards and larger lots attract people to New Traditional Homes in Red Hill.

Navigating Red Hill and Myrtle Beach
The area's significant thoroughfares include Highway 501 and Corporal Dennis Lyden Memorial Highway, both running south to the coast of Myrtle Beach. Bus stops are scattered throughout the area but mainly concentrate on University Boulevard outside Coastal Carolina University. The Myrtle Beach International Airport is 13 miles away, and the Conway Medical Center is within Red Hill on Singleton Ridge Road. The full-service hospital is one of the area's largest employers and holds both a cancer and a pediatric center.
Highways 501 and 544 are the main roads through Red Hill.

Errand essentials and local flavors
Highway 501, as the main thoroughfare, is lined with essentials for errand runs. Popular stops like Walmart, Aldi and Publix are located centrally to the area, and at the southernmost end of Red Hill is the seemingly endless retail shopping of Tangier Outlets. While Red Hill has plenty of chain retail and restaurants, many locally owned businesses can be found. After college football games, locals head to Coastal Ale House for burgers and brews or hang out by the neon-lit bar of El Patio for margaritas and carne asada.

Waccamaw River and Wildlife Refuge
Bordered by the Waccamaw River and the Waccamaw National Wildlife Refuge, the opportunity for outdoor recreation is abundant. Just 1 mile outside Red Hill is the Waccamaw River Park, where locals walk along the winding boardwalks sitting among wetlands and a pine forest. The Waccamaw National Wildlife Refuge is a 30,000-acre ecosystem where birdwatchers will thrive, hoping to spot osprey and swallow-tailed kites. Miles of nature trails are open for wandering, and kayakers paddle the meandering Waccamaw River. The city is also home to multiple courses, such as Legends Golf & Resort, which has three on-site courses with different challenges and terrain.
