How's the flooding out there? I know a lot of the homes are built up. How far inland is at risk?

I don't know that. I would imagine a new build would have to be up for a few blocks inland. I know some friends that bought on Girod near the Rusty Pelican and they are gutting the house but it is considered a remodel so they did not have to build up.
I know this weekend the water was spraying over the seawall, but not threatening Lakeshore Drive.

Pro's: location- trail-head access, restaurants, lakefront, causeway access, good school zone
Con's: -The city can be PIA to deal with. For example there is a "Tree Preservation Plan" in place. Residents in the area will call you out for trimming trees certain ways resulting in fines.
All in all, great place to live. Just do your research if you're buying a "fixer upper". My advice, get someone who has recently done similar work in the area to insure you estimate all requirements to get the home to spec.
