I don’t know how old you are or if you’ve ever lived within one mile of the ocean, but from what I’ve seen it is something that is very appealing to people in their 20s and maybe early 30s. By the time most people enter their late 30s early 40s they tire of the crowds, the traffic, the noise, the inability to find a parking spot, the small lots, and on and on.

There are a few quiet enclaves, of course, but you’re probably talking millions and not hundreds of thousands to buy ocean+peace.
