Local Insight
At $659/sqft for a 1950s waterfront unit, you're paying a premium for location and water views, but you'll want a thorough inspection given the age and AE flood zone designation—that's a high-risk area that'll require flood insurance and limits your financing options. The no-HOA structure is unusual for a condo community and could be a red flag about shared infrastructure maintenance, so dig into who's responsible for seawalls, docks, and common areas before committing. Venice Villas is an established neighborhood with solid schools nearby, but this compact 493-sqft floor plan is really only practical for a single person or couple without plans to expand.
