It is not a boathouse or a houseboat. It sits in the water, but never goes anywhere. It is a legally-permitted structure, with no means of self-propulsion. It occupies a permanent moorage berth and is taxed. Floating homes comply with all applicable codes. They are connected to City utilities and services, including water, electricity, gas, telephone, cable television and sewer.

There’s nothing really any different about a floating home than a land house – except that it is on the water. Floating homes have the same kind of rooms, floors, staircases, bathrooms and kitchen equipment. And, there are just as many styles and designs of floating homes as there are traditional land-built homes. The differences are mostly in the care and maintenance. And…definitely…the lifestyle.

Only minutes from the downtown…when you arrive at home you are in another world. Ducks walk down the dock. You can run errands or commute to work by kayak. Float planes land and take off.
