Florida Town One Of America’s Cheapest Beach Towns To Live In

It is possible to surf and play in the sand at any time of the year when you live in a beach town, and there are also many other attractions and beautiful views to enjoy. One last thing to keep in mind is the cost of living. A Florida cheap beach town? Yep!

Apartment Therapy conducted a study to determine which coastal communities are the most affordable to live in and ranked them from most expensive to least expensive. The researchers chose these places to live based on the median property value being less than $300,000.

On the list was the little-known South Florida city of Deerfield Beach.  The city is home to more than 86,000 people, and researchers estimate that the median price of a home in the city is $294,927. The price of rent per month is $1,411 on average. In addition, authors elaborated on the following aspects of Deerfield Beach's allure:

"Get to Deerfield Beach while you can — South Florida real estate is getting more competitive by the day. Located halfway between Miami and Palm Beach, this coastal city is home to an excellent pier for fishing, killer beaches for surfing and swimming, a popular boardwalk, and plenty of local bars and restaurants for kicking back after work.”

Daytona Beach and Pensacola, two well-known Florida communities, were also included on the list. Visit Apartment Therapy's website for the complete details to learn why these places are receiving attention.

Noting that, you may not view these as “cheap” or inexpensive. But this was a look at the national landscape of beach towns exclusively. And compared to each other, this is the most inexpensive of beach towns.

I have a confession! It's 2023 and I still don't know how to swim. I live near St. Petersburg beach and If I do go, I don't get in the water because I'm scared. Once I learn how to swim, I will feel more comfortable. Luckily St. Pete beach is not the Florida beach that is one of the world's most dangerous places to swim.

Explore.com came out with this list and they state many reasons as to why you shouldn't swim at these places. Some locations have rip currents, polluted waters, big rocks, and many shark attacks.

People still swim at these places on the list below but Explore.com does not recommend it. Use caution when swimming in these locations!  Have you actually been to any of the beaches on the list below? If so, feel free to email me babs@wild941.com.

Explore.com had this to say before they gave us the list of 10 places: "Swimming in cool waters under a shining sun is a simple pleasure. Some incredible swimming spots are protected areas while others are open year-round for people to dive off docks, swim, go on boat tours, and enjoy any way they can. Most are completely safe, but some only appear that way."

By the way, I will learn how to swim before the end of 2023! Once I learn, I still wont be gong to any of the places on this list! Any suggestion on where I can take classes as an adult. Feel free to Email me any places here in the Tampa Bay Area.
