I guess all that is required is a drainage pond to be considered waterfront.

But, why? Why would drainage pond waterfront property be so expensive?

Florida is not exactly on the forefront of the leading edge of the real estate comeback...of which there is none at present.

Does that sentence make sense?

I went to a friend's "lakefront" condo one time and the "lake" is a man made pond, not big at all. (I grew up near Lake George, NY, which is 32 miles long, so you can imagine my surprise when I saw that "lake".)

Down here, waterfront could mean a house on the river, an ocean-front condo (for that price), or a house with river access, i.e. on an inlet or canal.

Anything on the water, the real water, will be costly, even if it's not that great.
