Conway, South Carolina

The 2020 Census counted 24,849 Conway residents and the 2025 estimate is 30,627 across 23.60 square miles. Conway is distinct from Horry County and the Myrtle Beach metro, even though Route 7 links the cities.

Compare the proposed home with Conway Medical Center, primary care, pharmacy, groceries, Riverwalk, parks, library, Coastal Carolina University, Coast RTA, traffic, and the roads used for family or regional specialists. Citywide medians do not describe every neighborhood.

For 2020 through 2024, Census estimates place the owner-occupied rate at 65.4%, median owner value at $260,900, median gross rent at $866, and median selected owner costs at $1,341 with a mortgage or $440 without one. Median household income was $56,650, poverty was 21.0%, and mean commute was 24 minutes.

Add taxes, insurance, utilities, cooling, repairs, flood coverage, transportation, parking, healthcare, prescriptions, and the cost of trips toward Myrtle Beach. A lower housing median does not remove river, storm, or growth-related expenses.

Conway Medical Center operates emergency services around the clock with laboratory and imaging support. The center identifies itself as a Primary Stroke Center and Chest Pain Center and reports 24/7 pediatric critical-care and emergency consultation access through MUSC in Charleston.

CMC Primary Care at Cypress Circle offers Saturday sick and acute-care visits from 8 a.m. to noon with walk-ins accepted. Confirm doctors, networks, specialty availability, transfer destinations, rehabilitation, prescriptions, and the route home after care.

Conway maintains a municipal police department and emphasizes 24-hour community service, but the reviewed city information does not establish a current standardized citywide crime rate. Avoid a blanket safety label without jurisdiction-level data.

Conway sits along the Waccamaw River, and Horry County warns that properties outside mapped floodplains can still flood. Review parcel flood zone, elevation, drainage, evacuation conditions, insurance, lighting, traffic, power, roads, and emergency access.

Inspect air conditioning, shade, humidity control, roof, gutters, drainage, flood coverage, trees, sidewalks, power, and the route to care during heat, thunderstorms, or heavy rain.
