Waterfront Property Options
Monday, January 7th, 2008Even though I grew up in the coastal area I only considered waterfront property as just another living option until I began to sell and buy property. Come to find out … there are several types of waterfront property. When you are looking for real estate in Savannah, you have some things to consider if you are a river rat. The types of waterfront property range depending on the way you want to spend time on the water. Are you a swimmer? A boater? A sunset watcher? All of these questions need to be considered while you are looking at waterfront property. It matters a great deal if you want water 24 hours a day or you are partial to low tides. I remember going to Hilton Head for summer vacation and we stayed in a condo on a tidal creek. We would go down to the little dock hoping the tide was low so we could watch the fiddler crabs and snails. But when the tide was coming in we would throw in our chicken meat on a string to catch blue crabs. We thought this was the best of both. It matters what you are looking for in your experience with waterfront. In Savannah, you can live on the beach, on deep water or on a tidal creek. Your view can include low tide fiddler crabs or water 24 hours a day with your boat always ready for spin around Georgia’s beautiful coast. As you begin your search for the perfect water spot for you and your family, ask yourself questions about how you hope to enjoy the water in your new home. And visit these listings during low and high tides to understand what kind of water access you will have and how your view might change.
