The Basics About Floating Homes:

A floating home is not a houseboat, though some people use these terms interchangeably. Not to be confused with one another, a floating home is a home that floats and, unlike a houseboat, a floating home is permanently moored to a marina dock and cannot move under its own power. If you’ve been considering making the move to a floating home in the near future, it is a good idea to be aware of the pros and cons associated with this style of homeownership, to see if it’s right for you.
