                  [**Open The Market Common in Google Maps →**33.6698° N, 78.9214° W · ZIP 29577](https://www.google.com/maps/search/?api=1&query=33.6698,-78.9214)
              
    
    
          
        

## Character

        

Cobblestone streets, generous sidewalks, and a village green create a Main Street atmosphere in a city otherwise defined by resort sprawl. The retail district anchors an authentic neighborhood where residents walk to morning coffee, evening dinners, and weekend markets without touching a car key.

      
    
    
          
        

## History

        

Myrtle Beach Air Force Base closed in 1993 after 50 years of operation. The Myrtle Beach Air Force Base Redevelopment Authority spent more than a decade planning the reuse before the Market Common lifestyle district opened in 2008, widely recognized as one of the most successful military base reuse projects in the Southeast.
