Are you considering purchasing waterfront property on the picturesque Treasure Coast? If so, there are a few things you need to consider to make an informed and rewarding investment on the stunning Treasure Coast.
1. Water depth during low tide. This depth allows sufficient clearance for your boat during low tide, which is essential for easy access. Most boats need about two feet, but aiming for a 3 to 3.5 or even a four-foot differential during low tide is ideal to accommodate larger vessels.

2. Proximity to the ocean. The time it takes from your dock to reach the ocean or nearby recreational areas such as coves or sandbars is vital. As with any real estate, location matters. Being closer to inlets or recreational spots can increase property value significantly.
3. Condition of your dock, seawall, and boat lift. Ensuring that these structures can safely accommodate your vessel is crucial. Check the dock's pilings for rot, examine the seawall for proper drainage and erosion prevention, and ensure smooth water flow away from your property.
