Not simply close to the water, but low at the same time. Florida in general is prone to the floods of hurricanes. Other parts of the east coast are as well, but with the exceptions of storms like Hurricane Sandy, not as many of them get that severe. On Long Island, plenty of houses have basements, although not in coastal areas like Fire Island, or Long Beach, or places like that.
