Waterfront property looks simple until you dig into the legal agreements, maintenance obligations, and neighbor rights that actually control whether you can use it. Access, not just frontage, determines what a waterfront property is really worth.
At first glance, everything looked normal. There was access, there was a beach, there was a path. But underneath that simple appearance were legal agreements, maintenance obligations, neighboring rights, and future considerations. Again, the beach didn't change. The understanding of the beach and waterfront property changed. And this is why waterfront access deserves as much attention as the number of front feet or the waterfront frontage, because access often determines usability.
