Socastee, SC 189 Apartments for Rent

You say you want a revolution? Relive the triumphs of American history in Socastee, a famous battlefield in a 1781 tussle between American and British troops.

Located in one of the most beautiful states in the country, Socastee is a small town nestled in the heart of Horry County, South Carolina. The population is a little less than 20,000, with a nice cultural mix in that small population. One of the best things about the city is how friendly the people are; If you’re visiting or plan to move to this historic city, you'll no doubt be exposed to homegrown Southern hospitality. Located near the Atlantic Ocean, the city is a vacation spot for many people, but you never have to worry about being crowded out by tourists. All in all, it's a beautiful place to live that doesn't cost a fortune.

Finding an Apartment

Because the town is fairly small, you may have a little difficulty finding an apartment. There are more houses and condos available for rent than there are apartments, but if you have your heart set on an apartment, you should be able to find just what you are looking for with a little perseverance.

How much will it cost?
Since the city is located near the ocean, the prices are a little higher than in some towns with a similar population and economy.

When to rent? You may want to look for a rental during the off-season for tourists and summer vacationers. Because the city is located near Myrtle Beach, there may be some overflow of tourists and vacationers renting places in Socastee, and rents and availability should improve when they're gone.

Where to rent? How close to the ocean do you want to live? If you're considering living close to the water, remember the price of rent will probably be higher than inland. But ahh, that cool ocean breeze can more than make up for the extra cost.
