Tourism Helps Coastal Real Estate Sales Of Luxury Homes Rebound

By Hubert Miles

Coastal luxury homes likely conjure up mental images of crashing waves on the shoreline and large oceanfront homes overlooking miles of beautiful beaches as far as the eye can see. Images like these have fueled the passions of many to own their own coastal homes while visiting a favorite coastal vacation spot.

Scenic destinations and coastal resort towns provide some of the most beautiful luxury real estate spots along the east coast, gulf coast, and pacific coast lines in the United States. These coastal communities power the tourism industry and fuel the desire to own real estate on the ocean.

Quiet resort towns like Plymouth, Massachusetts and the Outer Banks of NC provide opportunities for those looking to own a piece of history. These historic towns are rich in historical significance. Many of these coastal areas are small fishing villages that have some sort of historical impact on the United States.

If a large urban area is your liking, then of the large urban hot spots like Miami, Florida is what you are looking for. New construction abounds in these coastal areas with lots of choices including high-rise condos with beautiful views of the ocean and low maintenance living.

Recent years have seen the evolution of these coastal towns and urban areas in very different ways. Urban areas have created thriving investment atmospheres with vacation rentals forming a solid backbone for the real estate industry. Smaller coastal towns still struggle to maintain their sense of history and independence. Many preserve their way of life through enforcing zoning ordinances that put restrictions on commercial construction.
