Two houses on the same Delray Beach street can sit in different flood zones. That changes what you pay to own, not just what happens in a storm.

Why this matters more than people think

Flood zone designation affects insurance premiums directly, and sometimes affects financing requirements too. A home a few feet higher in elevation, or on the other side of a drainage line, can carry a meaningfully different annual cost.

What to actually check

Don't rely on a general sense of the neighborhood. Pull the FEMA flood zone designation for the specific parcel before you fall in love with a house, not after you're under contract.
