Property Considerations
Waterfront properties here may include boat slips or dock access. The inventory is condos plus some single-family homes, built on bulkheaded waterfront rather than pilings — so bulkhead condition joins the inspection list. Flood insurance and windstorm coverage are essential. Properties with existing boat slips can carry a premium.
