| Ocean City is the worst place to retire | |
| Ocean City NJ is one of the worst places on the east coast to retire or live for that matter. My wife's family is from there and only one of them still remains, (God only knows why). I have been fishing and launching my boat(s) there for the last 41 years. The property value there is $450,000 and up (not beach homes), I can show you homes for 1 million plus on the beach. Property taxes alone are $10,000 plus on the bay side. I can't even speculate as to what the taxes are on the ocean side. Limited "Home Owners Insurance" is almost not affordable. When a bad storm hits many of the homes on the south end burn down (damn, wonder why). You can not get flood insurance there, no insurance companies are dumb enough to sell it to you. Beside the fact that the taxes suck, the public utilities here leave a lot to be desired. Schools, fire, police, etc are very poor at best but not as bad as Camden NJ which is not saying much. They cover up the street lights there from Labor Day through Memorial Day every year to save money. All the big beautiful homes there are rentals because very few people can afford to live there year round. | |
