Start with the water use
Ask how the canal or river setting supports the way you want to use the home, not just how it looks in photos.
Review structure and records
Ask about dock, lift, seawall, permits, roof, drainage, insurance, and maintenance history before making assumptions.
Compare comfort and cost
A strong waterfront choice should fit your lifestyle, upkeep comfort, budget, and long-term resale goals.
