Surf City is also a good rental section of the island due to its mix of commercial and residential, “middle” of the island location and close proximity to the bridge. However, one should consider where the home is in reference to the beach as Surf City is “wide” in sections which can lead to long walks to the beach depending where you are located in Surf City. Also, the bay side of Surf City can be prone to flooding so this is also something one should consider when looking at Properties in Surf City.
