Oak Hampton - Murrells Inlet, SC

Myrtle Beach is a wonderful community, renowned for its vibrant economy, comfortable, relaxed pace of living, and broad cultural opportunities, from repertory theater to Harley Davidson festivals. The people are friendly, and it still retains a lot of that small town feel. One of the newest developments in the Myrtle Beach area is the Oak Hampton subdivision on Murrells Inlet, a rich community that's only recently been linked into the Myrtle Beach area for development, as the economy has grown.

Surrounding the coastal side of Myrtle Beach are a series of gated developments, many of them on the historic and picturesque Murrells Inlet area, part of the Intracoastal Waterway. Murrells Inlet is an area to the east of Myrtle Beach and a bit north that started out as a setting for rice plantations (the local network of creeks let grain barges meander towards the coast, and the area is well irrigated for growing that crop), and then metamorphosed into a fishing town with the commercial fishing boom of the Clipper Ships days.

Murrells Inlet has a rich coastal community, with warm salt breezes, and tales of the creeks and the people who used to live on them, plentiful waterfowl, and a rich entertainment and music community. It's also right on the beach and has access to the salt marsh that defined the Carolina Coast for millennia. Whether it's boating, enjoying walks through rich nature preserves, or just enjoying the sunset along the lakes and through creeks, this area of the state is quick to win people's hearts over.

Houses in the Oak Hampton subdivision range from the upper  $100' to three hundred thousand dollars, depending on their location and access to the lakes. Of course, it's a short drive to Myrtle Beach with its world class golf, and an even shorter drive to the white strand beaches that made this area a destination.

Whether you're moving to Myrtle Beach to retire, restart your career, or to put your kids in one of South Carolina's best school districts, Oak Hampton provides Cottage style homes, all built to modern specifications and in different floor plans. This is a quaint Cottage neighborhood with hardi board siding, metal roofs, granite counters, hardwood or tile entrances and paved driveways. All the lawns are fully sodded and irragated. Every home has 9 ft ceilings.  Whatever your taste in homes and amenities, Oak Hampton is one of your best choices to find your new home. We'd love to welcome you to the picturesque Murrells Inlet community, and hope you find Oak Hampton welcome and inviting as you consider relocating to Myrtle Beach.
