You have all probably driven or walked past a marina, seen houses right on the water, and experienced at least a pang of envy or curiosity when thinking about all the possibilities that such an idyllic lifestyle can offer. Imagine, waking up every day with amazing waterside views, your boat or bike just a few steps away, enjoying walks with your family and friends, or gorgeous sunsets around the dinner table. So, floating houses are just like those built on solid land but instead of a foundation, they have a float which allows them to rise and fall with the tide by adding buoyancy. Their main purpose is to serve as a residence and they can be found on water bodies such as lakes, rivers, or coastal areas. The marinas where you find floating homes communities are called moorage and at the dock, the houses will be connected to sewer, water, electricity, and other utilities.
