The Most Affordable Beach Towns for 2022 - Real Estate Investing Today

Abstract

Who doesn't love a good beach town? And where there's a beach town, there are general short-term rentals and other investment properties. The folks over at Realtor.com recently crunched the numbers to come up with the nation's most affordable beach towns where buyers "Can live the dream without draining their bank accounts." To get their so-called dream list, they looked at the median home list prices of more than 1,300 towns located on America's coastlines that had at least 30 homes for sale in April, 2022. They focused on the fun things to do - like restaurants, bars and and entertainment venues. Indeed "The U.S. has over 95,000 miles of shorelines. But most people, when they think of beach towns, they focus on a few dozen destinations," says George Ratiu, manager of economic research at Realtor.com.
