In the dictionary, one will find the meaning of condominium (condo is the accepted term) as a building or complex, in which individuals own units of property, such as apartments. The unit owners don’t just own their individual unit, though, they own the common areas of the condo building complex as well, such as the grounds and building structure, jointly. Myrtle Beach condos, in terms of real estate, have been growing by leaps and bounds for the last five years particularly because of this business strategy of selling real estate (including the building) as a part of the condo. Developments are also sold with a HomeOwners Association (HOA) who then provide means to take care of common services and maintenance to the common areas and facilities.

According to an article at NorthMyrtleBeachOnline.com, a new park recently opened at 21st Avenue North in the Cherry Grove section. While there is no merry-go-round or swingset for the kiddies, the park does offer a nice place to relax, or those out for a morning run to take a rest. It’s also well decorated and well-built. It’s good to see something besides another condo or beach home go up directly on Ocean Blvd.

Situated between two North Myrtle Beach condos, the park includes a drop-off area, handicapped access over the dunes,  restrooms, showers, seating, some very nice lightscaping and lighting.  It’s definately one nice looking park!

The article says that T&J development donated this 120 x 80 foot section of their property to help meet goals set out by both North Myrtle Beach and the developer. The park is located right next to the new Towers on the Grove and Spring Towers.

Either way, it’s an excellent addition to the community! There isn’t any parking at the park, except a few spaces that are only handicapped accessible. And public parking is three blocks away.

Cherry Grove is one of the most sought-after sections of North Myrtle Beach. Since a large portion of the area is residential, it’s generally a little bit quieter. And since there aren’t as many Myrtle Beach vacation rentals or mainstream attractions as in other sections, traffic congestion usually isn’t as bad either.  Be sure to check out the Cherry Grove Pier, though — the second longest pier on the east coast! (And also, home to the largest shark ever caught on a fishing rod!)

Webcams, webcams webcams! Plenty to choose from in Myrtle Beach and North Myrtle Beach. Some good, some bad. The most popular are the ones overlooking the beach. These are usually attached to Myrtle Beach condos up high so they get the best view. We have visited and rated the most popular! Which will YOU spend the most time at?
