With coastal states like Florida, North Carolina and Maine among the most popular places to which people relocated last year, the personal-finance website WalletHub released its report on “2021’s Best Beach Towns to Live in.”
To determine the most livable beachside communities, WalletHub compared 191 cities across 62 key metrics. The data set ranges from housing costs to share of for-sale waterfront homes to quality of beach water. The study divided beach towns into two categories, those by the ocean and those by lakes.
By the ocean, WalletHub said the best spots were Naples, Fla., Laguna Beach, Calif., Lahaina, Hawaii, Newport Beach, Calif., North Myrtle Beach, S.C., Sarasota, Fla., Kailua, Hawaii, Boca Raton, Fla., Destin, Fla., and Santa Monica, Calif.
The top beach towns were Traverse City, Mich., Folsom, Calif., Redmond, Wash., Mercer Island, Wash., Cornelius, N.C., Davidson, N.C., Kirkland, Wash., South Lake Tahoe, Calif., Highland Park, Ill. and Brookfield, Wis.
