To be honest, I know nothing about living on a houseboat, I grew up seeing them on Lake Union, and have even sailed a little too close a few times. But the houseboats in Seattle are literally floating houses, and aren't exactly mobile.
Here in London it's a different story. People live on narrowboats and reconfigured barges. My flatmate and I have been looking into how one goes about renting one - of course we'd want to live near Chelsea or Battersea and can only probably afford one located in some dodgy canal in East London. This all came about when we were planning our Diamond Jubilee Weekend and realized that if we lived on a houseboat on the Thames, we'd have the best view ever.
Here are a couple amazing boats currently available for rent:
This one is on Cheyne Walk in Chelsea, is a four bedroom house, and a mere £26,000 a month to rent!
While this 3 bed on Cadogan Pier, also in Chelsea, and arguably better located is a steal at only £4,312 a month!
