But the reality is not many of us can actually afford those homes. So it’s due time to take a look at a more realistic side of our city’s real estate market.

This 1 bedroom, 1 bathroom home is pretty small at 555 square feet but it’s a floating home for $500k. It’s not everyday that you’re able to be a part of one of Seattle’s most unique housing communities for a fraction of the cost of normal city real estate.
