Myrtle Beach Home Builder, Centex Homes, Spotlighted in National Magazine

US Airways Magazine Features Centex Homes Myrtle Beach Division In Its Focus On Myrtle Beach

Myrtle Beach, S.C. (PRWEB) March 3, 2007 -- Centex Homes Myrtle Beach Division was recently spotlighted in the December 2006 issue of US Airways Magazine. Centex Homes was one of just two homebuilders in the segment, "Home is Where The Beach Is."

Centex Homes is the largest home builder along the Grand Strand and is the primary developer of Barefoot Resort and Golf. Barefoot Resort, a 2,300-acre master planned community located in the heart of North Myrtle Beach, has been named one of "America's 100 Best Master-Planned Communities" by Where To Retire magazine.

"We are proud of the many neighborhoods we have built in Barefoot Resort and it is great to be recognized among the best that Myrtle Beach has to offer by US Airways," said Ken Balogh, Centex Homes Myrtle Beach Division president. "In addition, 80 percent of our business comes from outside the Grand Strand and US Airways flies to the many locations from which we draw our buyers. This article will be a great help in communicating the message that Centex Homes is not only the leading builder on the Grand Strand, but also the most respected."

Barefoot Resort's Davis Love III golf course is one of 20 new courses added to GOLF Magazine's 2006-2007 list of the "Top 100 You Can Play" which is published in the September issue of the publication.
