Flood zones at the beach are certainly something to be aware of since they can affect your cost of living due to extra insurance requirements. Also, flood waters can be a jeopardy for your family in the event of major storms. However, a large part of the Myrtle Beach area is not in a flood zone. Further, many modern communities are designed to account for flooding plans with proper drainage programs and elevated grading. Contact Carolina Bays or one of our Realtors for more information on flood zones in your preferred destination.
