Why it's interesting
The home meets the 3-bed requirement and is move-in-ready at an attractive price point matching local comps. However, it sits in AE high-flood zone at only 72 ft elevation on a hurricane-prone northeastern coast (Maria landfall 2017, very high landslide risk documented by USGS). Ocean views exist but elevation and privacy are weak; rainforest/fruit-tree character is marginal. Flood and storm risk are serious liabilities for a December move in this zone.
🔄 Refreshed with measured elevation/flood, the cadastre record, and the listing photos on 2026-07-24.
💵 Price $198,000 aligns with local single-family avg (~$198,006); no flip or overpricing detected, but ask for last recorded sale price to confirm basis.
What the photos show
Photos 1 and 4 show a small, well-maintained concrete cottage with a wraparound porch and decent condition—suitable for immediate occupancy. Photo 2 depicts flat, open grassland with minimal elevation and a solitary palm; the horizon shows water (likely the beach/ocean) at a distance. Photo 3 is a clear ocean/beach view with turquoise water and rocky shore, confirming oceanfront proximity. Photo 5 shows lush tropical vegetation and tree canopy in the inland area, suggesting fruit-tree potential and some rainforest character. The overall terrain appears low-lying and flat with no dramatic elevation; vegetation is present but privacy is modest given beachside development.

Due diligence — verify before buying
- Obtain flood-zone elevation certificate and confirm FEMA AE rating with insurer quotes—mandatory for mortgage.
- Review Hurricane Maria damage history and current building code compliance/reinforcements (post-2017 retrofit?).
- Verify USGS very-high-landslide-susceptibility zone does not affect property or require geotechnical survey.
- Confirm property last recorded sale price and date; assess whether $198k represents fair value or rising market.
- Walk the perimeter and inspect for any easements, beach-access encroachments, or coastal setback compliance.
- Check flood insurance availability and annual premium in AE zone; confirm cost in operating budget.
