Yeah, I live less than one mile from the ocean as the seagull flys.
Apartments don't have basements, Jill. heheh
But I do live over one. This is why I live in a 1st floor apt.,
yet I'm about 5-6 feet above ground level.
The rare basements in my area are not full ones. Here they go about
3-4 feet underground then the rest is above ground. Dig any
lower and you hit the water table. I'm guessing it's the same
deal in the Dataw area - no full basements.
When growing up though, full basements were very common and standard
in those areas. All were heated and used as normal living spaces too.
