float homes

False Creek

a few lucky people live on Granville Island, or at least bob up and down in a float home on its shore...the white houseboat sold last year for $1.8 million dollars

Must be pretty neat living right on the water. Your neighbors are very close and that's a steep price for a home.

Fine shot of this interesting housing area. The boats look like real houses, amazing...! V

No lawn mowing ;). Looks like an interesting and affluent neighborhood.

That is a lot of money for a floating house. Nice capture of this floating neighborhood.

Thats a different kind of living, For that price there must be a shortage of properties.

That's a fancy-looking houseboat!

Lego style (and near size) - AND 1.8?! - crazy.

It must be awesome to live there. A nice capture of those opulent places. V

That is a wonderful area, but pricey. Nice sot.

I see in this photo and on Google Earth that the island is small and heavily built up.
Bill Miller04-Oct-2023 21:18
Lovely homes but that is a lot of money :)

certainly very pleasant to live on such a beautiful houseboat, beautifully flowered and decorated! V

Crickey, that's a lot of dosh for a bit of floating real estate! I agree with Walter, I like the tight composition with the bridge keeping everything in frame

Paying for a lifestyle not just a home I'm sure. Love those flower pots.

Hope you didn't get nipped by any coyotes. I read that they are hanging out in Granville Island.
Helen Betts04-Oct-2023 16:50
Amazing that those are houseboats, and a fine shot of them.

Tight composition and way of life. Judging by the price and sophistication of the homes it must be an alluring place to live for some.
