Affordable waterfront cities (apartments, rent, insurance)

[Comeandgo92]

I want to live on an ocean or major lake . Which cities are not SoCal price wise ?

I was thinking about Norfolk , Tampa , providence area , Boston . I'm limited to where my job is located

Don't forget to add in the price of flood insurance and/or hurricane insurance.

Tacoma is cheap ? I always assumed it was crazy rent like Seattle

Chicago is still affordable for a major city.

How about a major river? There are prime apartments and lofts all along the Schuykill and Delaware rivers all throughout Greater Philadelphia.
