Benefits to owning a home in Sussex County Delaware Beach Living!

April 11, 2021 by Kelly Pedersen Leave a Comment

Would you like to own a home near the Sussex County Delaware Beaches?! There are a wide range of properties and prices where anyone can buy a home near the beaches! There are many benefits of living near the beach and now more than ever people have this option because they can work remotely and live wherever they want!  Studies also show that people who live near the beach are often less stressed and live happier lives! I have a list of properties with water views near or at the beach. Here are some great reasons to consider buying a property in the Sussex County Beach Living area:

Leisure

If you are looking for something to do there are endless options for shopping, dining, and entertainment in the Sussex County Beach Living area! When you live near the ocean, there is no need to plan a schedule around rush hour traffic or bedtime because you will already be home. Since beach days will no longer involve a commute, you can spend more time in the sand and water!

A huge benefit of living near the beach is it offers “leisure time” for free. If you live in a city or large suburb most often city parks are the only free option for you. When you live near the ocean, you can swim, surf, float in the water, you can play sports in the sand (beach volleyball, Frisbee and many others), you can even walk your dog. These are all great activities and they are 100% free. We have many state parks like Cape Henlopen State Park and Delaware Seashore State Park, where there are many walking trials and public beaches. Sussex County Beach Living also offers a wide variety of shopping from the Tanger Outlet Shopping in Rehoboth to the boutiques shops in Lewes and Bethany Beach! There is year round music at many of the great restaurants, and in the summer months there are free outdoor music concerts! There are also shows at the Milton Theatre in Milton or the Clear Space Theatre in Rehoboth Beach.

Health

The beach life is usually very healthy! Breathing the fresh sea salt air and soaking in the vitamin D are wonderful for your health. When you’re living on the coast you end up eating less red meat and carbs and more seafood and salad. Why? There’s usually a great supply of fresh seafood from the local fisherman, and fresh produce from local farms and our great farmers markets.  

And what about the stress? Beaches have breathtaking views that extend over the horizon. When you can take a moment to walk on the beach at sunrise, there is nothing more inspiring! Being able to view the ocean from home is a great privilege that many people only dream of. Even the ones who don’t exactly live right near the ocean but drive by the beach a lot, have a much less stressful life.

Investment

A major benefit of owning a beach house is the potential rental income you can earn. Typically,  beach homes generate a much higher income than traditional rental properties. As an owner of a vacation rental home you are also allowed to write off any business related expenses such as mortgage interest, property management fees, marketing costs, insurance, property taxes, and repair costs. The value of real estate usually increases with inflation. This means your house near the beach will probably be worth more in the long term. Most of all, your house near the beach can serve as a second home during your vacations. You can get a lot of personal use and enjoyment and it saves you a lot of money that you would spend on other accommodations elsewhere.
