3 Reasons Why Seacrest Beach Homes are Less Expensive than 30A Beach

3 Reasons Why Seacrest Beach Homes are Less Expensive than 30A Beachfront Homes

If you want the benefits of living near the beach, but not directly on the beach, an inland home along 30A like a Seacrest Beach FL just maybe perfect for you.

Although many people think that owning and living in a 30A beachfront home seems like a dream come true or living in paradise, but the truth is, waterfront living is not for everyone.

Yes, there are many advantages of living on the beach like easy access to the sea, sand, and surf and all those exciting water activities, but there are several ‘challenges’ of living in a 30A beachfront home that you should know before buying one:

1. 30A beachfront properties are more expensive. Beachfront homes with views of the gulf are much more expensive than inland properties like Seacrest Beach homes for sale.

2. 30A Beachfront homes have more expensive homeowner’s insurance. Beaches are flood and hurricane prone areas, therefore beachfront properties fetch higher home insurance costs due to the higher risk of damage from flood or winds.

3. 30A Beachfront homes are more expensive to maintain.

Homes located on the beach or along the gulf need more maintenance due to exposure to the elements like salt from the water, which is corrosive in nature. Because of the higher risk for damage due to exposure to these elements, extra maintenance is needed to repair eroded pipes and paint, not to mention wind-proofing your windows. You can hire a professional home inspector to determine the cost of maintenance your home needs.

Before you go ahead and buy a 30A beachfront home, consider if it is worth the trade off for all these ‘challenges’ OR if you should consider buying a home that is not located directly on the beach, like Seacrest beach homes for sale.

If you want the benefits of living near the beach but not the ‘challenges’ of living on the beach, then a Seacrest Beach home for sale is the perfect choice for you!
