Coastal living is the ultimate daydream. Waking up to sea views… sipping coffee while enjoying an ocean breeze… strolling on the beach whenever you wish…
There’s just something about life by the sea that remains endlessly appealing.
For most people in North America, however, coastal living is out of reach. Beachfront homes for less than seven figures are increasingly hard to find in popular U.S. markets.
If you’re willing to look overseas, you’ll find that you have more options… There are plenty of attractive coastal markets where the average person can still afford a high-quality home.
Not only can you afford one, a coastal home overseas can also be a source of income. More than half of all tourists head to the coast, and travelers consistently pay premium rates to stay by the water.
Here are three property picks in overseas coastal markets where you can buy a home for $250k or less.
Pick 1: Mediterranean Beachfront Condos In Northern Cyprus—From $110k
- Year-round warm weather—it’s always sunny in Northern Cyprus
- Beautiful beaches with golden sands and clear-blue Mediterranean waters
- Friendly locals who speak English, plus a growing expat community
- Interesting history and a rich culture, including excellent cuisine
- A low cost of living and a safe environment
Best of all, Northern Cyprus still has ultra-affordable beachfront property for now. You may be able to afford even luxury beach property in Northern Cyprus, depending on your budget.
That’s what your fellow readers, Dan and Kathleen, did after learning about a property opportunity through Live And Invest Overseas… They said, “We bought a penthouse with a roof terrace. We have a great architect who’s going to put in a pool, a spa, and a kitchen up on the terrace… We’re very fortunate. We never could have afforded this back in the States.”
Dan and Kathleen’s penthouse is in a beachfront residential community that’s taking shape on Northern Cyprus’s West Coast.
This community features resort-style amenities that owners can take advantage of: multiple pools, a spa, restaurants, a wine bar, a gym, landscaped parks, the surfing and water sports club, a yacht pier, mini golf, kids’ play areas, and more…As of right now, studio condos start from under $110k. If you’re looking for something a little more luxe, you could snap up a penthouse unit for $197k. Plus, a financing deal is available that lets you buy with just 35% down and 0%-interest monthly payments.
With Northern Cyprus’s growing popularity, these units project net ROIs of up to 9% per year.

Pick 2: Boutique Jungle Resort In Tulum, Mexico—From $125k
Today, it has a reputation among well-heeled international tourists who make their way here to enjoy the sizzling food and drink scene, the music festivals, the five-star hotels, the shopping, and wellness experiences…
But despite Tulum’s ritzy reputation, it still offers affordable property that lets you take advantage of the strong tourism demand and proximity to luxury brands.
One example is this boutique jungle resort in La Veleta, a charming residential area just 10 minutes from the beach.
This is a small resort with about 30 units organized around a central pool that looks like a cenote. Lush vegetation tumbles down from the higher floors to the lower, creating a private and peaceful atmosphere.
A handful of studios remain available at this resort, starting from just $125k (while our exclusive 10% discount remains in effect). Bigger units, including penthouse studios with their own private plunge pools, are also available, starting from $195k.
This resort is fully built, open, and operational, meaning you can start earning income from short-term rentals right away as an owner. Current investors are already earning about $15k net per year in Airbnb income.

Pick 3: Rare Historic Property In Setúbal, Portugal—From €216k ($247k)
Setúbal is Portugal’s rising star—the place on every expat and property investor’s lips.
It’s a major port city just 40 minutes south of Lisbon. Because it’s on the coast, the Atlantic Ocean provides the backdrop for everyday life. The city has an attractive seafront promenade lined by shops and seafood restaurants, and various beaches are nearby.
It’s surrounded by natural beauty, situated between environmentally important areas: Arrábida National Park to the west and the Sado Estuary Nature Reserve to the east. These parks feature dramatic cliffs, turquoise waters, and exotic wildlife, like dolphins and flamingos.
Setúbal is seeing an influx of domestic buyers, remote workers, and expats, and property values are on the rise. This area had the highest annual gains in property prices nationwide—up over 20% last year.
It’s here that we have—for now—a short window of opportunity to secure both serious appreciation and long-term rental income with a brand-new opportunity…
It’s a unique opportunity featuring the conversion of an 18th-century former convent into a tasteful luxury development. The building will be renovated into 15 apartments arranged around a central courtyard with a pool and garden.
Right now, we have access to pre-launch pricing, giving us a 10% discount on current list prices. This means that you can get in from just €216k for a 45-square-meter apartment…
These units boast exceptional net ROI potential of 11% annually.
