Maybe Surfside Beach, South Carolina is a wee bit far to drive for the week-end, but if you are in the market for a beach house, this place has quite a few for sale. The houses above are just a small sampling of the many that have hit the market in the last few months. And there are many more. All up and down the beach, those "for sale" signs have popped up since I was here last.
No wonder! These are mostly secondary homes. Many homeowners probably took way too much of a financial risk buying them in the first place. In addition, flood insurance has gone up steadily so the monthly costs are high. But they rent out weekly in the summer time, which helps defray the cost.
So if you are in the market for a beach house and can't quite afford the Hamptons, you may want to check out Surfside.
This place needs a few Brooklynites.....
(To give you an idea of pricing, the first house pictured above is on the market for
$ 849,000.00. Second row from the ocean with private pool. (more detail here )
