Local Insight
At $642/sqft for a 1982 waterfront condo in an AE flood zone, you're paying a premium for the location and water access on Boulevard of the Arts, but you'll want to carefully review flood insurance costs and any recent updates to the building's envelope since older bayfront properties in high-risk zones face rising insurance and potential special assessments. The $878 monthly HOA is reasonable for a waterfront tower, though with 2.8 acres that suggests significant common area maintenance—verify what's actually included and whether there are any pending capital improvements. The real question here is whether the direct bay views and walkable Arts District location justify the premium over similar-aged inland condos, plus whether you're comfortable with the flood risk and the insurance/resilience costs that come with it.
