* Wei Shen's third safehouse in ''VideoGame/SleepingDogs'' is a houseboat down by the Aberdeen docks; not his fanciest abode, but still much nicer than his tiny starting apartment.

* ''Film/MuddyRiver'': One of the more depressing examples of this trope. Shoko is a widow who has turned to prostitution after her husband, who used to work the houseboat, drowned in the river. The family is living in poverty and the houseboat is old and while seaworthy doesn't look like it's in a great state of repair. Shoko's daughter Ginko talks about how they have to lean over the side of the boat to pee, while her son Kiichi wishes that they could live in a real house.

* A pretty popular ''Franchise/{{Archie|Comics}}'' story involves one. Archie and Betty find a girl in a swamp, and take her to their friend, an old captain living in a houseboat. The girl is revealed to be an heiress, but her uncle is trying to kill her. Archie and his friends set a trap for him, luring him to the boat, planning on jumping him when he opens the door. However, the uncle decides instead to cut the lines, sending them down toward the InevitableWaterfall. [[spoiler:Of course, the gang had planned for this, and there was a cable that kept the boat from drifting ''too'' far down. Makes you wonder why the captain lived so close to a waterfall...]]

* In the legal case of Lozman v. City of Riviera Beach, Lozman was a local political troublemaker who lived in a houseboat, which was condemned and destroyed by the city in an effort to get rid of him. He filed a lawsuit and had to take it all the way up to the Supreme Court before he won his case, using his winnings to buy a new houseboat which he sailed right back into the town.
