There is also a lot of housing in Seabrook built between 2000 and later ( 33.80%). A lesser amount of the housing stock also hails from between 1940-1969 ( 19.60%).

Vacant housing appears to be an issue in Seabrook. Fully 12.73% of the housing stock is classified as vacant. Left unchecked, vacant Seabrook homes and apartments can be a drag on the real estate market, holding Seabrook real estate prices below levels they could achieve if vacant housing was absorbed into the market and became occupied.
