    "Although Trulia refers to Myrtle Beach for Arrowhead properties, Arrowhead Golf properties aren't in the city, but rather in the county. It's been fun to watch the city make so many improvements for tourists and locals alike especially in the last couple years so the close proximity to Arrowhead has been great to go experience all the attractions, especially new ones. The choice to go play in ocean and the hustle and bustle downtown then return to the tranquility of Arrowhead and our pool and amazing recreation area makes me more and more grateful everyday we have all this so close and ez"
  • Gonwest25
    "The Village at Queens Harbor condos, are a majority of retired residents. The only time that you see many children, is during Holidays, or in the Summer, when they are visiting their Grandparents. It’s a beautiful area. Well managed and manicured. We have cameras everywhere as well, for security. "
  • Trulia User
    "It's a common mistake. We love the close proximity of Arrowhead to Myrtle Beach for all the attractions but Arrowhead isn't in the city of Myrtle Beach. It's a quiet respite in the county, not the city so while we enjoy the close proximity, we also enjoy lower taxes, traffic, and different statistics than what's listed for MB. It's a common mistake but we just borrow their mailing address basically and are very pleased with what Horry County provides us as are MB residents that they're increasing especially in the last 2 years."
  • Trulia User
    "Love Arrowhead. Great neighbors, HOA, and especially quick and easy commute to everything without the hustle and bustle. I can be at the mall, movie theater, restaurants, gas stations, grocery, hardware, pharmacy, and everything I need via back roads in under 8 minutes. Not to mention family and friends enjoy the convenient pool and well outfitted and maintained rec center with us. This year they put in Pickleball courts. It's a peaceful and quiet respite but a quick drive to Rts 17, 30, 544 and 501 if I wander. "
  • Trulia User
    "I was opposed to HOAs until I experienced first hand the one that manages the Villages in the Arrowhead Golf and Country Club subdivision. They definitely foster a sense of community for residents and will help any way they can to maintain and improve what residents desire for their neighborhood. The golf course is an added perk for beautiful, year round green views and assures there is no flooding with fountains, ponds, and the expertly graded and landscaped areas enveloping the stress free living here. It's not located in the busy city of Myrtle Beach and is a quick and ez drive to the ocean."
  • Trulia User
    "A quick drive through the Arrowhead Golf and Country Club neighborhood tells it all. Residents of the various "Villages" there take pride in their personal properties and the HOA maintains the common areas extremely well. Lit sidewalks throughout add to the safety, and comradery neighbors enjoy and more events are popping up every year to continue to build the important sense of community we all desire."
  • Trulia User
    "Was opposed to HOAs for years until moving to the Villages of Arrowhead Golf and Country Club neighborhood. That HOA's willing to do whatever they can to make the community more attractive and a joy to its residents. The rec area's extremely well managed and updated consistently. The close proximity to the golf course assures excellent grading, ponds, and mature landscaping which prevents flooding and offers a year round green view. More events are popping up and have added to the holiday fun and the comradery residents feel in this quiet slice of living close to the beach and intercoastal"
  • Trulia User
    "Arrowhead Golf and Country Club is a quiet, friendly area tucked away in Horry County and not in the city of Myrtle Beach so not to be confused with Myrtle Beach stats, traffic and construction. A short drive to the hustle and bustle of ocean front is merely an added perk."
  • Janice Valentino
    "Great neighbors and beautiful surroundings "
  • Lisa Eoff
    "Lots of traffic and construction . Have lived here for 27 years. Very congested especially in the summer time and building everywhere. "
  • Cafriend811
    "We moved to Traditions in July of 2025. It is a welcoming, friendly community. Many of us have dogs and walk together. Everyone talks to each other. I just love it here!"
  • Jenny Collins
    "Parade of fire trucks at Christmasand everyone comes out and lines the sidewalk to watch and hear the music and wave at Santa at the very end, Halloween decorations are a big deal and everyone loves to get together for yard sale’s "
  • Mjordan
    "Lovely residential golf community conveniently located to shopping, schools, parks and sightseeing. Homes are located on sizable lots in a park like setting. Most homes back to the golf course."
  • Ju2003
    "I feel my neighborhood is safe Lots of lights around on boardwalk after dark Love this area had friendly neighbors "
  • Lizzy
    "Families in the Clear Pond Subdivision in Myryle Beach SC 29579 are attentive to their children. Many walk and stay with their younger kids when the school bus picks them for classes. The kids are well behaved as well."
  • Hans Blunck
    "Fast and easy with minimal traffic or stop lights. Allows for easy travel between Myrtle Beach, North Myrtle and Little River. "
  • Perri Adams
    "A dog park would be nice to add to the neighborhood. I think it would make a great addition to the neighborhood "
  • Dakota Kennedy
    "The commute to and from work is a little hectic during tourist season but still okay. What takes 12 minutes in the off season takes about 20 during the on season. I just plan accordingly."
  • Kennedy.martins23
    "Dude, my neighborhood is awesome! It’s got everything—cool spots to hang out, friendly people, and a vibe that just feels like home. You can find great food, parks to chill, and even some hidden gems if you know where to look. And the best part? The traffic isn’t too bad! Sure, it gets a little busy sometimes, but nothing crazy. You can get around pretty easily, whether you’re driving, biking, or just walking. It’s the kind of place where you actually enjoy being outside. Honestly, I wouldn’t trade it for anywhere else!"
  • Worth1383
    "There are kid friendly neighborhoods and others that are more populated with older adults. Know where to look. "
  • Gary Sandes
    "There aren’t too many families with kids in Tuscany. There are nice amenities but no playgrounds here. "
