I’ve lived in both Columbia and Myrtle Beach areas. My opinion is this: if you have school age children, Columbia area is better, specifically Lexington County (Chapin or the River Bluff HS area of Lexington). Blythewood in Richland County is also good. There are other good schools, but it varies by district. Myrtle Beach area is a mixed bag. Better to retire there after kids are grown. In my opinion, best places are Pawleys Island, Murrells Inlet, and North Myrtle Beach.
I’m not sure if it’s just being a city center, as if you watched my video vs Greenville and Vs Florida they were all relative to each other. It’s why i say you have to research the exact areas you are considering vs the area as a whole.

It's hard to beat the beach
This is true!
Yes, but in July while I was chillin’ near Columbia, Myrtle Beach endured a storm, & was two feet beneath the water.
@@DahweedNYC yes, Myrtle is definitely more prone to flooding and hurricanes.
Very disappointed in the crime stats for Columbia. Does the prison bus make daily drop-offs??
