Florida Waterfront Living
Many people come to Florida to live on or near the water.
A wide range of
waterfront property is available, including riverfront, saltwater
canal, lakes, freshwater canals, preserves,
intersecting canals, basins, and of
course, beaches!
 Consider Resale Value
Property values rise, in general, the closer you are to the water, and the bigger and more open the
water. For lasting value and steady
appreciation, waterfront property on a beach, river, sound, pass or harbor will
pay off best on your investment. Waterways that connect to these large bodies of
water can be more accessible financially, and also provide some protection from
rougher weather. Interior waterways are a great way to enjoy the waterfront
lifestyle on a budget.
Throughout the State
Different parts of Florida offer different types of waterfront living. At no
point in Florida is it possible to be more than 60 miles from a coast. In
addition, the center of the state is filled with springs, lakes and rivers.
The long coast of Florida provides open access to saltwater along its entire
border. The east coast is open to the Atlantic ocean, providing a constant sea
breeze, greater surf and beautiful sunrises. The west coast is open to the gulf
of Mexico, which provides less extreme tidal action, abundant estuaries, huge
harbors, and gorgeous sunsets. Northern Florida has beautiful rivers, often fed
by crystal clear springs which keep the water temperature cool year round. The
center of Florida has many freshwater lakes, quite large, leading to the biggest
of them all - the Okeechobee Lake. Below that is an environment unique in the
world, the Everglades.
In all these parts of Florida, there are connecting waterways which provide many
ways to enjoy the waters of Florida. |
