There's something truly special about Conway, South Carolina. It has held onto the charm, friendliness, and slower pace of a small Southern town while continuing to grow with new businesses, shopping, restaurants, and opportunities. With the coast only about 15 miles away, you can enjoy small-town living while staying close to the beaches and attractions of the Grand Strand.
At the heart of Conway is its Historic Downtown, where tree-lined streets, historic buildings, local businesses, and the nearby Waccamaw River and Riverwalk give the city a character all its own. Downtown is a destination for shopping and dining, with locally owned boutiques, specialty stores, gift shops, home décor, clothing, jewelry and more, and restaurants such as Rivertown Bistro, Crooked Oak Tavern and riverfront Bonfire Taqueria.
In October, downtown celebrates the City of Halloween, with events such as the Conway Ghost Walk and Witches, Wizards & Wine. At Christmas, downtown comes alive with the City Christmas Tree Lighting, Rivertown Christmas Celebration, Living Windows and the Christmas Parade.
Conway is served by Horry County Schools; assignments are by address. Many families focus on the Aynor, St. James, and Carolina Forest school areas, among the most sought-after in the district.
Betsy Hyman and Farah Hyman of Diamond Shores Realty were both born and raised in Conway and help buyers and sellers with first homes, new construction, acreage, investment properties and retirement moves.
