I live about 3 min. walking distance from the beach, proximal to a lagoon. This is a hurricane (typhoon) prone area in the Pacific.

Vertically. Yes water is bad for your home.

Sea level rise can be both short-term, as in storm surge during a hurricane, or long-term in response to global warming and the melting of polar ice caps. You have not provided important information so I need to infer some things...
3 minutes from the shore - assuming 30 miles per hour, 1/2 mile per minute, you are 1.5 miles (7,500 feet) from the shore.
The shore is a beach. The topographic gradient is gentle, between you and the beach.
You live PROXIMAL to a lagoon, not inside of it. The presence of the lagoon suggests your home is at a low-lying topographic elevation.
So in combination, yes you are at risk. How frequently, to what degree are difficult to assess. Advice: (1) sell; (2) build a levee or seawall (permitting and engineering issues - get expert advice); (3) did I say sell? (4) accept the risk and make the most of coastal living while the getting is good.
Facts: A good full-fledged hurricane can temporarily rise sea levels 20 feet vertically, sometimes even more. Add waves on top. Are you in a hurricane prone area? Second fact: sea level rise triggered by long-term climate change may raise water levels an equal or greater amount, semi-permanently, within one to three generations. Third fact: If your coastal community has a growing or already large population and relies on groundwater, land subsidence caused by groundwater withdrawal will hasten the ocean to your doorstep.
So, I hope this helped. I love living by the seashore. But knowledge is power, so sell...

the 1st concept that got here to my concepts upon analyzing this post grow to be one million. WHY is college instructions cost is u . s . ridiculously costly? WHY do colleges need plenty funds? a school isn't a enterprise like Apple or Microsoft. My sister will graduate from her 4 years of school quickly and the finished coast of instructions pee paid for the time of those 4 years....is OMG too plenty. the quantity is surprisingly much as plenty because of the fact the U.S. national debt. 2. do colleges particularly desire a super variety of money? 3. u . s . is at present dealing with an monetary disaster; that's predicted to be between the worst ever in U.S. background. So unemployment is a increasing difficulty, the monetary gadget is getting spoiled and there are greater harmless voters suffering under the poverty line. and that i'm no longer against the government however the federal government would not look sorting it out properly. i do no longer comprehend that plenty with reference to the ecnonomy, so I found out from my sister (she's a company / economics substantial) and that i will tell that the rustic, the monetary gadget and so on are all dealing with a disaster. Soo....i do no longer comprehend yet till the government supplies to love help the destructive pay for college or some thing I strongly advise that faculties do no longer advance instructions costs. in any different case...u . s . will face a good worse academic disaster. Does the stuff I typed make experience? desire it does. And......the reliable information is that the costly instructions cost paid to a super college grow to be particularly properly worth it when you consider that my sister have been given a super interest 2 weeks till now commencement.

Yes you will be affected. How much depends upon how quickly sea levels rise. Water will RISE, that is a vertical vector. How far in will depend upon how much sea level has risen. The Mediterranean was relatively dry until the Atlantic broke through, down to a RISE in sea levels.

Yes it would. How far in it would come is dependent on how high the water rised vertically.

It matters more on your elevation above sea level.
