Speaker 1 (00:00):
Well, I gotta tell you. If you go to the
beach sometimes and you're there and you're looking around, and
you're thinking, you know, there's a lot of people that
make a living here and just enjoy this all the time,
why don't we do this? You're not alone in thinking
about the vacation spots turning into reality for you all
the time. But well, I can feel more like a
fantasy sometimes than reality. Some beach towns are actually kind
of affordable for year around living. And there's a new
study out now from the folks over there at Oregon Generators.
(00:23):
They're revealing the most livable ones in the country R mackenzie,
which see what you think about these beaches and you
can actually speak to one of them here. The company
looked at factors like home prices, safety, weather, and quality
of life to come up with their list. They analyze
thirty five popular beach towns across our country and they
use the data on the real estate from sites like
zilowandreltor dot com to find these towns that have a
(00:44):
good balance of affordability and quality of life. And based
on all of that, Chinko Teak Virginia, which is Chenka
Tea Island where the horses run. The most livable beach
town in the United States. That's pretty cool. The Barrier
Island gets high scores thanks to its part two relatively
low home prices. The average cost of a home there
six hundred and forty thousand dollars. That sounds like gobs
(01:06):
of money. But home prices these days, you know, are
just through the roof to.
Speaker 2 (01:10):
Be a number one beach town. Yeah, that's pretty affordable
in comparison.
Speaker 1 (01:13):
They've also got a real low crime rate there, they say,
low unemployment rate, and an average commute only twenty minutes.
Speaker 2 (01:20):
Oh wow, so it's not at all.
Speaker 1 (01:21):
Yeah, nice little place there. Here's some others that made
the list here. Okay, Myrtle Beach came in at number two.
Speaker 2 (01:28):
That surprises me really because I wouldn't think Panama City
Beach would be on the list either. But I don't know,
I'm getting ahead of myself.
Speaker 1 (01:35):
Yeah, Panama City Beach is not Cannon Beach, Oregon. Never
been out west, Oh, but I bet it's beautiful. I mean,
I lived in California, but I've never been to Oregon before.
Saint Augustine, Florida, Okay, yeah, I get that. I would
have thought that might have been real pricey, but maybe
it's not. Okay, maybe not as bad as Sarasota, Sarasota
Key and all.
Speaker 2 (01:54):
Well, just the history in St. Augustine, That's why I
thought it would be a little bit more expensive.
Speaker 1 (01:57):
Santa bell Island, Florida. Never never have either, but I
hear real good things. Golf Shores, Alabama at number six
on the list.
Speaker 2 (02:04):
Well, you know, I'm biased, no doubt.
Speaker 1 (02:06):
How's Debbie doing your grandmother, she's doing great golf Shores right.
Speaker 2 (02:09):
My dad's in Golf Shores. She's an Orange beach. So
both towns, that whole area.
Speaker 1 (02:13):
Yeah, area, that's super nice. Tibby Island, Georgia. Never been
there either, Here are great things about it. Rockport, Texas
is on the list as well. I've got friends that
live in Houston and they come to Destin to get
to good beaches.
Speaker 2 (02:26):
I was about to say, I forget that Texas even
has beaches.
Speaker 1 (02:28):
Yeah, they're not, you know, down by the coastline in
Texas there, you know, east of Houston along the coast,
it's not the same beaches that you get.
Speaker 2 (02:38):
Along page Geographically. It makes sense if you look at
a map, but you never hear about them.
Speaker 1 (02:42):
I guess Anna Marie Island, Florida. Florda's got a bunch
of the here uh and a deesto or disto, a
diisto South Carolina. Never heard of that place, but there
you go, so surprise.
Speaker 2 (02:52):
There's a lot more beaches in the Carolina's on that
list too, right.
Speaker 1 (02:56):
I think the you know, outer Banks area of North
Carolina really nice. I don't know what the affordability is
of it, but really nice area too. A little colder
up there, but if I had a beach to pick,
it's got to be somewhere along the Panhandle.
Speaker 2 (03:09):
I'm thinking they're the best beaches. You know, the beaches
in California. I would say, I like the beaches in
South Florida better than but California to me, like I've
been to Malibu, and you know, it's obviously it's beautiful
in its own way, but in comparison to the Panhandle beaches, yeah,
I mean it's nine days.
Speaker 1 (03:26):
And I used to work on the beach in Ocean City, Maryland,
you know, back in high school and college and loved it.
But when I got down here and it's like going
to you know, confectionery, sugar versus a rock pile.
Speaker 2 (03:40):
As far as I would say, it goes Panhandle, east
coast to west coast.
Speaker 1 (03:44):
Yeah. Now, Carmel and Monterey they're not. They're different beaches
than you know, South Florida and South Alabama. Different type
of beach. But they're beautiful, the gorgeous beaches. But for
laying out and hanging out and drinking. You know, you're
running in orange shoes. Yeah, put me on the white sand,
that's right,
Well, I gotta tell you. If you go to the
beach sometimes and you're there and you're looking around, and
you're thinking, you know, there's a lot of people that
