Roanoke Reef floating homes do not come up very often.  Ask anyone who is interested in Seattle floating homes.  It is a fact.  There are only a couple here and there that come up every so often.

Want to know more about Lake Union living?

Lake Union is an ever changing mash of life, fun, work, and more.  It has long been the working lake of Seattle, and there is a great mix of activity going on – you can always find something interesting on Lake Union.  Lake Union floating homes are among my favorite things in this part of Seattle and all of Seattle actually.  Why not live on Lake Union and take in the ever changing scenery?  Seattle houseboats are a great in city condo alternative and an excellent lifestyle choice for a wide variety of Seattlelites.   Just sit on your roof top deck, or jump in your kayak and take part in the activity, watch the wild life, or try a SUP (stand up paddleboard) for first hand glances of everything.

Let us know if you are interested in looking at Seattle houseboats for sale.  Molly and I have our favorites – and some that aren’t actually publicly listed, too (shhh!)

Seattle Houseboats For Sale:  The Ultimate in Seattle Waterfront Homes

Seattle waterfront homes come in all shapes and sizes – you can have Puget Sound waterfront homes, Lake Washington waterfront homes, island homes on the water, and even floating homes.  Seattle floating homes are actually surprisingly quite affordable when compared to other types of traditional Seattle waterfront homes on land. This is always a big shock when we show the differences in price, taxes, etc. while comparing the two.

There are different types of ownership depending on which Seattle houseboats you are looking at and which dock you look at, but those differences do define not only security, but also afford ability.  If your dock is co-op owned, then you are usually only paying for real estate taxes on your portion of the dock ownership.   You then will pay taxes to the county for the actual home itself – these are at a much lower rate than real estate taxes so a $1 million dollar floating home with this situation would have significantly lower taxes than a $1 million dollar home on land.
