How to approach the acquisition.
- 01.Inventory is exceptionally tight. Be prepared to move decisively or engage in private conversations to secure a property here.

- 03.Factor in the mandatory HOA fees, which directly fund the high-level security that underpins the neighborhood's value.
- 04.Scrutinize seawall elevations, as many older properties require seawall updates to meet current city resilience standards.
