When you think of coastal homes, affordability is probably not the first characteristic that comes to mind. However, it’s possible you just haven’t discovered the right spot.
The Mississippi Gulf Coast real-estate market is full of little gems that will allow you to enjoy everything you love about coastal living at a fraction of the price. Imagine living like you’re on vacation every day — basking in the sun on one of our beautiful beaches, walking or taking a short drive to your favorite breakfast spot, saying “hi” to all your friendly neighbors and spending the afternoon on the water or at a local golf course. Finally, you end the day with a relaxing evening in your spacious home that you bought without breaking the bank.
Does that daydream sound too good to be true? Those of us who call this area home are fortunate — and savvy — enough to call it our reality.
Here’s why the Coast is one of the best places to live in the country:
1. Mississippi has the most affordable coastal towns in the United States.
In 2022, SmartAsset studied 211 beach towns and ranked them by average home sale price, the average number of rooms per house, median monthly property taxes paid and monthly housing costs. Biloxi came in at number one, and Gulfport was ranked number two.
2. There’s so much fun to be had here.
No matter your interests, you’ll find something fun to do. Enjoy art museums, boat rides and fishing, boutique shops, world-class casinos and golf courses and some of the most delicious food you’ll ever eat.
3. Coastal towns enjoy a healthier lifestyle.
Studies have shown that coastal towns are consistently among the country’s healthiest and fittest areas. Not only can you enjoy outdoor activities more often than in colder regions, but abundant sunshine, the sounds of the ocean and a slower pace of life all contribute to overall wellness.
Additionally, the Coast has a lower-than-average cost of living; imagine all you can do with the extra money in your pocket. Those working from home in high-cost regions might consider how much further their paycheck will go in this area. The Coast is where you can live your best life for less!
