However, the price tag that comes with coastal living can be scary.

My wife and I just moved into our home near the bay in Ocean Gate, and it took months to find the right house with the right price tag.

That being said, the travel experts at 24/7 Tempo claim to have found the 50 cheapest coastal towns in the United States, and believe it or not, 6 of them are in Jersey.

Somers Point
Somers Point is one of the oldest settlements in Atlantic County and is also one of the most affordable.

According to 24/7 Tempo, the average home price is in the area of $250,800 which is an insanely low price for a home near the shore.

The Villas

Located in Cape May County, 24/7 Tempo reports the average home price is in the area of $256,500.

Although a quick Zillow search you'd be hard-pressed to find a home with that price tag.

Laurance Harbor

Located in Middlesex County, the average home price here according to 24/7 Tempo is somewhere in the neighborhood of $314,000.

Again, I did a quick search on Zillow and couldn't find anything in that price range, so if you can, I'd hop on it.

Seaville

Seaville is another Unincorporated community in Jersey, which may help with the home prices, but not by much.

24/7 Tempo claims that you can find a home for somewhere in the area of $396,200 and a few homes for sale are in that price range, so that's cool.
