2. Flood risk near the Delaware. Check FEMA maps for properties near the river.
3. Internet, services and winter access. Confirm before you commit, especially for remote work.
4. Property taxes. Look at the actual tax bill for the house, not an average, and compare Sandyston Township's rate using the state's municipal tax data.
