What do you all think of this apartment?

I love solid minimalist apartment buildings like this. Always have. There are buildings like this in HI too.
And storm proof. But what are the insurance laws if no mortgage?There's a lot I don't know.
I'm researching my options.
The information on the property taxes according to the listing (I have to double check if it says for a year or not) and what Mr.Dial You Right Away agent told me might or might not conflict. This says taxes 2024 iirc for one thing so they could be higher for this reason alone.
Anyway, he said rates vs valuation vary among properties in the county. He said 5k/ year. I've never heard they can vary based on desirability of property. Isn't the desirability reflected in the asking price? I'm thinking I might need my own agent and maybe attorney.
I might buy a mobile home but am interested in this kind of apartment too.
TBH there's only one mobile home I'd like to have in this park. That said, I really want to have it.
I'm also looking at resident owned mobile home parks. These are deeded properties
I'm thinking these will be the three types of housing I might be able to afford.
Single family houses are going for astronomical prices.
Anyway, I want to know what you think of this apartment!

No, wait! This one would be affordable and worth the price difference. It's on the 3rd floor not the 1st, and has a view of the water. Better renovation. I could live here.
It looks like the taxes are based on valuation and couldn't possibly be $5K/ year.
Of course it has an elevator so age in place would work.
I really like this building and it's location. There would be plenty of clean air and mobile homes don't have views worth anything in the interior. You couldn't live so closely together if they did...
Pet friendly.
One of the problems of mobile homes is they can't be insured. So if a hurricane reduces your trailer to matchsticks you end up homeless.
I could show you ones here that I have the experience and knowledge to tell they've been lifted into the air and dropped violently leaving everything out of alignment. It's very clear if you know what you're looking at...

BTW, the accountant has done his work, all of the paperwork I'm aware of has been done, the house sale went through; the estate hasn't settled yet in so far as the hearing where the judge makes the settlement order hadn't happened yet. I don't know why a date hasn't been set. My cousin said she had "no idea" if it would settle in February. I can't call the probate attorney because we have no working relationship. I have a law firm in Florida. I could call them but have no reason. My cousin deals with the probate attorney. What is the hold up?! I don't know! It's not going to happen and then one day I'll get word of the date it will happen or be told it happened. I wish the system would clear it already. All the work has been done. I thought once my cousin had said it settled. We crossed wires. She was talking about the payment for the house having been wired to the estate.

Roommate update-- he stopped saying a word to be after December 26. He made it a long time, but yesterday evening he lost his composure and accused me of stealing his potato chips (WTF?).
I told him it was a false accusation. I told him I was more than happy to go on not speaking to him but I would defend myself against false accusations and verbal abuse. Hopefully, he will go back to keeping quiet.
