waterfront homes
Shoreline real estate
Waterfront homes are residential properties situated directly on a body of water—ocean, lake, river, or bay.
The term appears constantly in real estate listings, where water access commands premium prices: waterfront homes starting at $2 million, luxury waterfront homes with private docks.
The appeal combines views, recreation, and status.
