Marina communities are a great option for those who prefer to be out on the water as opposed to anywhere else. Such communities create a nautical culture that sets them apart. Residents of boating communities share a love of idling in their craft of choice at sunset, or slipping away from the dock before sunrise for the first catch of the day.
Aside from having a place to keep your boat, there are many other reasons to live in a boating community. Here are a few :
- Homes tend to retain their value.
- A family-centered culture is prevalent in boating communities.
- Boat maintenance and storage costs are reduced.
- Residents enjoy a feeling of camaraderie and like-mindedness.
- Social activities are built around being on the water.

Location, location, location
There are hundreds of boating communities across the country. How do you find the one that’s right for you? Location is the first thing to consider. Once you choose the region you want to live in, you can narrow your options further.
To some degree, geographical region dictates price range. So, this is something to consider. If Florida is on your list of potential destinations, then you’re in luck. Because, in this case, it pays to go where the crowd is.
As we all know, retirees flock to Florida every year. Subsequently, Florida marina communities are abundant. Price points are competitive. And, communities strive to stand out by offering exceedingly better amenities. These reasons, and others, make exploring Florida boating communities a great option.
If you’re considering the southeast, just north of Florida, you’re not alone. Boating communities in North Carolina, South Carolina, and Georgia have been filling up and multiplying at a rapid rate over the last ten years. And, where with ample demand, there’s ample supply. Southeast coast marina community options are vast.
While the coast is the most common choice for boaters, lake-living is also an option. Lake communities from Texas to Arkansas, and into the southeastern mountain region, boast state-of-the-art marinas for lake-loving boaters.
Knowing the region you want to be in is a great start. But, take it a step further. How close to the city do you need to be? Do you prefer four seasons, or are you looking for a milder climate? Continue asking yourself questions that will help you narrow your options.
