Local Insight

At $7 per square foot, this 1974 waterfront unit is priced exceptionally low—you're essentially buying for land value in a desirable Lido Beach location with direct water access, which means either there are significant structural or systems issues that need inspection, or the market is undervaluing it relative to comparable waterfront properties. The lack of HOA fees is a major advantage for cash flow, but a 50-year-old condo in a salt-air environment demands a thorough marine survey and concrete assessment before committing, since foundation and structural damage from water exposure can be catastrophically expensive to remediate.
