Local Insight
At $141 per square foot in a 55+ community with no HOA fees and X flood zone designation, this 1972 unit is priced aggressively—you're essentially paying for the waterfront location and amenities rather than modern construction or recent updates. The 7-acre parcel is the real draw here, but verify whether that refers to your direct lot or shared community land, since condo ownership can be murky on what's actually yours versus common property. For a serious buyer, the key scrutiny should be the building's structural condition and reserve fund status given the age, plus understanding exactly what water access means and how it affects your use of the property.
