The price range that this puts you in opens up a number of waterfront possibilities, actually on the lake, that come with their own dock. It would not be a difficult decision for me.
Having said that, the building down the street with a similar situation sold out a couple of years ago with prices in the $550,000 to $650,000 range.
I still don't get it!

I think it's a matter of time / convenience vs amount of disposable income.
I change my boat oil and filter and winterize it. My very finacially successful friend keeps his FL boat in valet service. They fuel it, wash it, maintain it and have it ready for him when he calls.
If I were running in the rat race every day (and thinking about it at night) down in Boston with a big compensation package, those condos and the various amenities would be attractive to me.
