Bayfront & Harbor-Front Homes for Sale

What to Know Before You Buy

  • Bayfront homes often come with a dock or the right to one; confirm what conveys and what permits are in place.
  • Seawalls and bulkheads protect bayfront lots; their condition and who maintains them matter.
  • Bay-facing walkways pass in front of many bayfront homes, including on Balboa Island; privacy varies.
  • Flood zone and insurance apply to many bayfront lots, as they do on the beach.
