15 Places you can Buy Cheap Beachside Apartment for $150,000

I spent 6 long weeks in Funchal. I have never seen so much smoking, so many disabled and elderly people. I got the sense the city was dying. There was no A/C anywhere and it was unbearably hot with mosquitoes everywhere. I couldn't wait to get out of there. If our accommodation had A/C and any of the restaurants we visited did, it would have completely changed the experience. The island is absolutely beautiful but the people are all broken.

[@SallySparks]

huh, I live in Funchal and love it. The mosquitoes are very location dependent. I agree on the number of older people with mobility issues. I don't know why there are so many. AC used to not be needed here, but last summer was brutal. I know people installing AC when they didn't bother before. It's easy to find accommodations with AC but it's not a traditional thing. I'm buying a new apt and it comes with AC.

[@luisfilipe534]

They are. Because they cant afford a house due to real estate speculation promoted by foreigners

[@panamericaco]

I moved from Canada to a Beautiful town in Germany. Everyone there told me to get out while I can. After two years I left. Sick and elderly everywhere who hated their life. The local population and their view of their city will definitely impact your quality of life.

[@desertdweller8520]

@@SallySparks Fellow resident of the island here. If you are from the US, you are not used to walking around much. When people get old, some have mobility issues. I have had few encounters with mosquitos and flying bugs en masse. This is why I chose this place. I don't have AC, use ceiling fans and am just fine.

[@desertdweller8520]

There is a lot of smoking in Europe, in general. There is no smoking indoors here. So, I always sit inside if there are a lot of people at a cafe. I'm not sure where you stayed but it's too bad you didn't experience Funchal the way many of us do. Most good hotels here have air conditioning. As for many disabled people, there are some. But many older people have these issues in other places as well. I have never had problems with mosquitos either.

In the USA "Cheap" pricing waterfront Apt's/flat/condo are for ONE and ONLY reason: The owner pays incredibly high monthly fees for (maintenance and other orchestrated costs for the pool, guards, building insurance etc...) So what is the real COST of living there is the MAIN FACTOR - not the unit price.

In Turkey labor is cheap and the country produces a lot of materials (e.g. tiles) locally. Turkish people are very hard working. And the country is wonderful.Properties go up in price every year.

In our opinion Bulgarian Riviera is the best cost efficient and luxury place to retire in a EU/NATO country. Especially nice is a wealthy and green suburb of Varna called Saints Constantine and Helena where rich or super-rich people live for a cost which is a fraction of US/Canadian inner cities, Bulgaria provides retirement visa, flat 10% income tax (but in the most cases you don't need to pay any Bulgarian taxes since US Social Security is not taxed here and Bulgaria has double-taxation treaty with US)

Wow, this is great info! I'm curious, which of these places offer the best value for the price in terms of lifestyle, amenities, and safety? Are these beachside apartments primarily in more remote locations, or are there any in popular tourist destinations that are still affordable? I'd love to know if there are any hidden gems that might not be as well known but offer a fantastic living experience for that price!

I bought a 5000 m2 house with olive grove, a privat access road, no neighbours, delicious fresh water drinkable from the tap and seaview for 15 000 Euros. Beautiful beach with clear turquoise water is just 10 minutes down the hill. Central Europe. Won't say where exactly because I don't want people to flood the area and increase the prices of real estate. House needs renovation. Need to invest 20k to make it nice.

I have lived in Sicily. Sure, real estate isn't that expensive, but the cost of living is! Petrol or fuel for your vehicle is $4 a liter. Utilities costs are also very expensive. Lastly, you should speak Italian as English is not widely spoken there. Foreign migrants have invaded Sicily, so crime has risen. I wouldn't live there, but I'd spend 2 or 3 months there during the summer and then leave for Croatia or Sardinia.

Foreigners can't own property, apartments can be 'purchased' but there are some dodgy rules you have to comply with plus they have military coups every 10 years and the rule changes could fuck you over whenever they feel like it.
