OP, real estate on the coast (east or west) seem to rise and fall with the latest "bad" hurricane. It's been a few years since the last one---are we due. Who knows?
In addition to a home in TV, we recently had a condo on Cocoa Beach. Enjoyed it and Sold it. The HOA had no flood insurance---too high according to the Board. Yeah, I was worried about a hurricane and the damage it could cause. The assessment to each condo owner would be very high. A neighbor complex similar to ours just had a $35,000 assessment to repair balconies.
However, many still prefer the coast. It's is beautiful. Buyer beware and be sure to look carefully at the HOA financials before signing a contract.
