Living near the lakes
Being close to water doesn't by itself mean your home will flood, but it's worth knowing whether your property sits in a mapped flood zone. FEMA's Flood Map Service Center shows official flood maps by address, and homeowners policies generally exclude flood, so flood coverage comes from a separate policy with a 30-day waiting period for most new NFIP policies. Lakefront docks and outbuildings are usually a separate question from the house.
