Homes on water
Houseboats is the plural of houseboat, a boat designed or modified to serve as a dwelling.
Some houseboats are permanently moored and function essentially as floating homes; others retain full navigation capability.
They range from modest vessels on rivers and canals to luxurious craft in marinas: The houseboats along the waterfront have become prime real estate.
