Local Insight
At $687/sqft for a 1970 waterfront unit in a flood zone AE/VE area, you're paying a premium for the location and water access, but you need to factor in flood insurance costs, which can be substantial and unpredictable in high-risk zones like this. The lack of HOA fees is a genuine plus, though it also means you're solely responsible for any building maintenance issues, and at 54 years old, a thorough inspection of the structure, roof, and systems is critical before committing. The 364 sqft footprint is compact, so this works best as a second home, investment property, or for someone who genuinely prioritizes waterfront living over square footage.
