The U.S. boasts 95,471 miles of shoreline, and owning a small portion of that doesn’t have to necessarily set you back millions to own. Home buyers can still fetch bargains in plenty of U.S. beach towns, snagging a home for $250,000 or less.
Realtor.com®’s research team analyzed the median home prices in beach towns with populations of from 1,000 to 100,000. Towns must have had at least 30 properties on the market to be considered in the rankings. Researchers also limited ranking to only two towns per state in order to provide geographic diversity.
The following are most affordable beach towns for 2017, according to realtor.com® (listed along with the median home price):
