About this home
DON'T LET THE HOA FEE FOOL YOU - LOOK AT THE BIGGER PICTURE! Before comparing HOA fees, compare the TOTAL cost of homeownership! With exceptionally low property taxes, water included in the HOA, exterior maintenance benefits, and potentially significant savings on homeowners insurance compared to a traditional single-family home, the monthly savings can help offset the HOA fee! Remember, even homes without an HOA come with expenses - lawn care, snow removal, exterior upkeep, water bills, and higher property taxes can add up quickly. Here, many of those expenses may already be accounted for, making your monthly housing costs more predictable. It's not just about the HOA fee - it's about what you're getting for your money! Enjoy nearly 1,950 square feet, 3 bedrooms, 3 FULL bathrooms, and the convenience of low-maintenance living without sacrificing space or comfort!
