Summerhouses near Finnair destinations.
OT: Have been thinking of a "summer"house with garden and sea view either från den vackra jylländska västkusten eller någonstans i närheten av Ystad. The latter location just got a bonus!

There are upsides ofcourse with MMX, and like I said, I really hope AY is committed to it. Just remember it has no rail connection and busses only go westwards.
But if you can swing it, Ystad is not a bad choice. I personally would go more towards Österlen, as Ystad is caught up in Wallander fever. It is like buying Apple product, you pay 50% extra just for the brand!

I found this digress very interesting and a nice moderator saved our off-topic into a new thread. ^
I assume you are asking south of sweden? Almost all seaside location is popular.
Ystad is vastly popular mainly for sandy seaside, cute city with showbox houses and Sandsskogen (pine growing in sandy soil).
Countryside around Ystad and to the east (Österlen) has rolling hills and some nice views and is much more sparesly populated.
The northeat of scania around Åhus has "gravel-sand" but popular for people living nearby cities (that are not seaside).
Northwest of Scania , for example Kullen area is very popular where a number of fishing villages has become almost 100% summer houses or second homes, combining stunnig scenery, hiking areas, commutable to major city.
Seaside Blekinge is very popular due to archipelago. People liking Ingå area i Nyland would probably like Blekinge.
Now I like to hear from others if they have a favourite area close to a AY destination!

Even as a national, I consider NCE to be an over-priced urbanization disaster. Also, on winter time business trips to Sophia/Antibes, I could see how dead the place is off-season.
But whatever suits you. Some relative split and sold off their property there recently. There are plenty of estate agents ready to take your monies - and plenty of buyers to compete with.

Is it easy to buy if you are not a French citizen?

From a legal standpoint, there should not be any problem for EU citizens to own property and/or live there. I assume some, but not all, estate agents will also provide English services and some help with the paperwork - not that I'd know.
There are plenty of foreigners living in France, especially in that area.

By urbanization disaster, I am referring to the coast line, not the city of Nice. The infrastructure has not kept up with the influx of inhabitants and tourists.

AY with partners hasn't been very good at these Swedish destinations – they've tried a little this and that over the past few years, and then silently withdrawn the routes one after the other. So whatever you do, don't count on there being direct flights.
