Things to know before you buy
If you plan to keep a boat here, ask early about slip availability and how slips are bought or leased.
This is low-lying riverfront land. Check each home’s flood zone, elevation certificate and insurance quote before you write an offer (see our flood zone guide).
For condos and high-rises, ask for the building’s milestone inspection and structural reserve study (SIRS) status.
