Do you know what "HOA Fees" are?
HOA stands for Homeowners Association, which is an organization that sets by-laws and restrictions in some neighborhoods. The fees associated with this, called homeowners fees, are usually paid annually and cover certain services and amenities associated with a neighborhood. These fees may include services such as landscaping, maintenance, and water and sewer; or amenities such as pools, fitness centers, neighborhood recreational areas, and valet parking. HOA fees usually range from $100-$1000, depending on the location of the home, and can be changed yearly. A board of directors is usually voted in, and they decide the cost of the fees. Specific by-laws and restrictions are also associated with an HOA. These rules vary from neighborhood to neighborhood and are meant to keep your neighborhood safe and beautiful. Understanding all the by-laws and restrictions before purchasing a home is important so that you know that they are rules that you can live with.Condominiums are found in all shapes, sizes, prices and types. Are you looking for a high-rise condo, a mid-rise or a garden-style condo? Maybe you'd prefer a townhouse?
The term "garden-style" condo usually refers to a condominium residence in a building that has less than three stories. Most garden-style condos have balconies or patios for each residence. Many garden-style condos have a main entrance that opens to a common-area hallway. Additional common areas include the green space and "gardens" surrounding the structures.
