| Thanks for the great response. It really Irks me that I can't use the pools(Only amenity I'm even remotely interested in) as part of the HOA fees. I really wish my wife would have agreed to find a place in Delaware, or I had gone to Arizona BEFORE i bought here in OP. O Well Live and learn. We were first time buyers and too quick to jump. Now i need to look into what i need to do to sale or rent my house. Hopefully i can come up with a 5 year plan to be out west. | ||||||

For reference, the above message is a reply to a message where: Jay I too had the same questions when I moved here. I also asked these questions here on the forum, and was greeted with sarcasm. But that's water under the bridge. You get what you got for your fees. You are also paying for the upkeep for all the amenities that you don't use without being a fee paid member. These amenities were poorly maintained thru the early years and now the new home owners as well as the oldest are paying the price. When I asked about the member fees I was asked why did you move to a community riddled with amenities someone has to pay for maintenance. My response was and is , I have lived in 2 other communities with amenities and they were included with HOA fees, and if you did not use them there was a different fee structure for property upkeep, such as it is for canal home owners here. I took it upon myself to call four other communities that have amenities all four said amenities are included in fees. This was 11 years ago mind you, and our fees have doubled since then. Sorry for the long explanation, I'm sure you will get other responses. |
