There's pros and con's when living on a house boat. Anyone thinking of doing this may try renting first, or spending a weekend or a few on a sleeper boat to get an idea on what its like to live on the water. She is not discussing storms, cold weather, smells associated with water/docks, noisy neighbors, boats coming and going, sometimes issues with power, water, sewer systems provided by dock services, etc.

[@TripReviews]

My biggest concern is living on a freshwater lake. In winter and keeping the ice from developing around the hull, power goes out and you’re in deep trouble.

I have a friend who at one time was a housesitter. She would look after houses while people travelled. You move every few weeks or months to another location. She was able to avoid paying rent this way for 8 years. She also did boat sitting for clients for a three year period.

[@Curious2Know2]

Would she get paid for housesitting? Otherwise, pretty hard to hold down a job when you're on the move all the time.

[@BunnyWatson-k1w]

@@Curious2Know2 When you have high speed internet, many of today's jobs can be done from home. She would also get a small stipend from the owners. But with rent out of the way it gave her more disposable income.

Love it, good for her. Toronto is expensive to the point of inaccessible in the last few years and she has a space for her that has outdoor area and access to a lake!

She's happy with the lifestyle, that's what matters. But the monthly cost is around $3000 cad for financing and mooring fees. Add to that, insurance, heating, maintenance, etc. So cost is probably similar to renting in downtown Toronto.

[@rickrussell8382]

Try going down the road in there. One lane each way. The road feeds a beach, a park and boat launch. Its packed every week end. Cars backed up all the way to the main road running east and west. Its like that every weekend from late spring to warm weekends in the fall. No thanks.

Considering the outrageous cost of housing in Toronto, this is a great deal.

[@StarLight-sl9ok]

Terrible idea, her mooring fees alone are outrageous. She should’ve just bought a condo near the waterfront.

[@kiss748eeee]

Not if you consider she doesn’t owe any land. If her location kicks her out., she can’t just park the boat and have it livable anywhere

[@mateofernando5066]

It's better than being homeless. Sadly, more and more people are being priced out of the rental market completely. But, I would rather buy a condo than live on a house boat. As she doesn't own the dock space or mooring space, the harbor master can evict all the houseboats if they have other plans for the dock. That's the downside. Which makes it very similar to renting. You are at the mercy of the landlord that owns the dock.

[@denisenoles3159]

[@bakaichigo]

Things NOT mentioned: - The water smells different (and not in a good way) at different times of year - THE PESTS (bug and other) -- what pest loves to lay eggs in water? MOSQUITOS~! - CANADIAN WINTER on WATER?! (She didn't discuss what the life is like when the weather is not idea for "boating" or "water activity" on great detail -- In Toronto, the winters can get really nasty and messy, and windy -- ICE must be a really huge pain) - THE MOTION! House boats, like regular boats, are moving on the water as it moves. The location the boat is to sit while you live must be examined so that you know what sort of motion you'll be dealing with and what that looks like in inclement weather. I'll bet that house boat dips and sways quite alarmingly in the height of stormy weather, but it could be sheltered enough. So, just to be clear, this looks like a lovely idea but I would NOT recommend you run out to try it without looking into all the DOWNSIDES to living in a boat/on water in a place like Toronto, Canada where we have 4 full seasons of varied weather to live through in a year... I recommend you try renting out a place like this FIRST, and do so through inclement weather months, to see if it suits you in truth.

Yes, the inconvenience and the high maintenance costs is a major drawback. It's cheap to buy but because there is no land value, there is much less potential for capital appreciation. Adding all the costs involved, basically it is equivalent to a long-term lease rather than true property ownership. The biggest benefit is the lifestyle of living by the water during good weather.

The visitors going to the Scarborough Bluffs have changed a lot since i was born. The park has to put up dozens of Port a potties just to deal with visitors going in the open. It's a dirty dirty city to be in unfortunately. However I grew up in Toronto and have fond memories of the Scarborough Bluffs in the 80s & 90s and the pretty little house boat community and the little bar at the end of the dock. I think it's unfortunate that people who grew up in the city can't really aspire to home on property real estate ownership. And rent generally takes more than is fair share of income.

[@kermitthefrog6363]

These "boats or house boats" are NOT boats, they are not able to leave the marina on their own power. They are floating barges and are not for recreational use. Marina use is recreational (also commercial as appropriate) and zoned as such. These homes are taking up space for recreational boaters and also driving up costs for docking etc. The basic rule for people living on vessels was the vessel needed to leave the marina on their own power and return to their slip on a three day notice. This rule stopped people from buying junk boats and living on them. These House Boat units are not built to any standard (not to building standards nor ABYC boat standards ) and as such can not be moved to a building lot if the owner is told that the marina no longer allows these units. Talk to people that have experience gained from the Outer Harbour experience with the development of the failed bid to allow these type units. People lost hundreds of thousands of dollars. It is only a matter of time before these units are forced to leave. Then what do you do with your unit. You are certainly not going down the road nor going to move to another marina. Again this water is for recreation purposes and if you want to live aboard then you need to live on a boat. This is a very risky purchase and it is just a matter of time before they may be asked to leave. It has been fairly low key in that marina but articles like this may change that situation. You need to do your due diligence and protect your investment.
