Insider notes
What to know before you buy
Insurance matters
Being near the coast can mean higher homeowners, flood, and windstorm insurance costs. Get quotes before you make an offer.
Flood history
Check flood history and elevation, especially for homes near the water.
Waterfront varies
Marina access, boat slips, and water views differ widely by community and street, and so do prices.
