Hamptons Real Estate: 5 Residences Less than $250K

The fabulous Hamptons are the stuff dreams are made of: Glorious, windswept beaches, stunning sunsets and unparalleled views. Plus, the chance that you'll run into an A-list superstar at the market or on Main Street as you're heading out for an ice cream with the kids.

Contrary to popular belief, the Hamptons aren't just a playground for the rich and famous. Yes, multi-million dollar mansions dot the shoreline and populate the landscape, but a selection of affordable options exist, too, so you can live in the lap of luxury without breaking the proverbial bank.

If you've set your sights on the Hamptons, and want one of the most coveted zip codes in the country, but can't afford a million-dollar abode, these residences might symbolize your dream come true.
