Location
Flood zone & environment
- FEMA flood zone: X (moderate). Outside the 1% flood zone but inside the 0.2% (500-year) area. Flood insurance isn't required, but it's worth pricing. The 1% zone is about 82 ft away.
- Hurricane storm surge: Category 3+. State (MEMA) models show this area could flood in a Category 3 or stronger hurricane. That's separate from the FEMA zone and doesn't by itself require flood insurance.
- Mapped open water about 154 ft away. Outside the 100-ft wetland buffer zone.
- Public sewer area. Inside the Braintree Water & Sewer service area, so no Title 5 septic inspection to sell.
Mapped at the parcel's center point from FEMA's flood maps, MassDEP, NHESP and MEMA (via MassGIS). Not a survey or a flood determination: confirm with FEMA's map service or a lender before you rely on it.
