Garden City: Submarket Research
Garden City
Pier-adjacent STR corridor with strong shoulder-season bookings.
Overview
Garden City runs from the south end of Surfside down to the Murrells Inlet line. Pier District oceanfront is the prime STR corridor; inland inventory trades as second homes or long-term rentals.
The Investor Thesis
- 01Pier District oceanfront carries Myrtle Beach-level revenue with a quieter neighborhood premium.
- 02Shoulder season (April, October) performs better than pure beach-season markets.
Garden City sits on a narrow stretch between Myrtle Beach and Murrells Inlet, with the ocean on one side and the marsh on the other. It is a popular vacation-rental area, and the split between oceanfront and marsh-side property creates a real range of price points.
