Another plus for the area is that the two big employers in the area are government and health care.

Counties and states have different laws governing it but that seems off by quite a bit it could be a local law or it could be a mistake in that they assessed the land only and not the property as a whole, many times even if there is a law limiting increases in assessed value it resets when the property is sold.

At the end of the day, if I pull the plug at 55, I have 10 years until I can get the government ins, and at least 7 years until SSI.

Both of which are government subsidized like jobs. - We've been on the top charts for several years leading to our rapid growth and appreciation in prices and rents. - A long term theory - as the oceans rise from global temperatures rise, beach front property is going to become a bit less desirable.

@Matthew GrebetaI’ll take in to account the current economy, the people living there, and the future proposals from the local government as well.

Some types of medical over others that are more heavily relied on for government programs can be at greater risk than private payer customers. 

Generally you need a survey, legal description, government approval and recorded deed change. 

The local government GIS website is also great.

Where it easy to rent the apartment and store in case I decide not to open a storeI did see a lot of properties closed up and for sale in Trenton especially near the government offices.

You can work with the local government's zoning commission to work on combining lots.
