When we were shopping for a home, the Realtor took us to one property. I looked at the house, turned around and looked at the river, and said “Nope”.
We’re at about 150’ elevation, but I can walk to roughly sea level in under 20 minutes in two different directions. Certain roads tend to flood if there is a heavy mist at high tide, including the one where they built a 300 unit luxury apartment complex (they build up the ground for the building and parking lot, but would not surprise me if for a time today that was an island.)
