[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]With global warning the Hamptons is a great choice. The vast vast majority of Hampton homes are not in a flood zone and are like 2-5 miles from ocean.

Quite unlike NJ shore. The beaches like Flying Point Beach in Southampton is resident only parking and it is just the beach, lifeguard, bathroom, food truck sometimes. All the night life, restaurants, clubs etc are in town.

Easy to get from. I usually drive off peak, but sometimes Acela to Cannonball train or Jitney out of Penn.

My rich friend used to fly out of BWI to McCarther airport on Long Island. Very very short flight. Avoids all the traffic.  [/quote]
A house 2-5 miles from the ocean is not a beach house.[/quote]

You don’t understand it. No one wants to live by beach in Hamptons it sucks. I rented out there 13 summers. One summer we were by the beach. It was wicked cold at night, no stores, just a handful happy hour places, zero night life. I had to drive 15-30 minutes each way for cup of coffee, dinner, go to good bar, go to movie or anything. Plus driving to get people at train. And no street parking in dune road.

Best part I lived in Southhampton [b]by Main Street walking distance train to NYC. Great restaurants and shopping. [/b]

And down by beach, flood insurance, hurricanes, no basements. [/quote]
I get all that on the Jersey Shore four blocks from the ocean. With a basement and no required flood insurance.[/quote]
