waterfront property

Home beside water

Waterfront property is real estate situated directly on a body of water—ocean, lake, river, or bay.

The term emphasizes location as a premium feature, commanding higher prices for views, beach access, or boat docking: They bought waterfront property on the lake.

In real estate listings, waterfront distinguishes properties touching the water from those merely nearby.
