    "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"

    "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. "

    "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."

    "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. "

    "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."

    "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."

    "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"

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!"
