East Coast Beach Properties

[Ben Trageser]

Hi all!

Currently living in New Jersey and job is most likely going to fully remote.

As the prices in NJ skyrocket and there is no need to be in New Jersey, girlfriend and I are looking to make a move. We would want somewhere with a lower cost of living, near the beach/lake and can be back in metro NYC area in short flight/drive if need be. East Coast is preferred.

Wilmington and Raleigh comes to mind. We’re a young couple (26) so hoping for nice restaurants, breweries, outdoor areas for hiking etc.

Does anyone have any recommendations in terms of locations?

Wilmington, NC has what you need. Our vibrant, historic downtown is only 12 miles to Wrightsville Beach (more stand up paddle boards per capita than anywhere else in the world). Anywhere in between can be a perfect place for you and our airport has direct to Laguardia - in fact I’ve flown to NYC for lunch and back in the same day. Definitely a foodie city and breweries keep opening. We now have at least 3 local distilleries, only 1 with a cool old building (End of Days Distillery). At a minimum, give us a visit, BP Meetup the first Tuesday of every month at Waterline Brewery.
