713 homes

$45 a month

only benefit really included is trash pickup in those dues.

we have no gyms, a couple very small parks with dog shit bags provided.
no rec center, no pool, no gym, no basketball courts...nada.

the only costs I see are watering, a little bit of electric, sprinkler repairs or sod repairs, snow removal in a couple common areas...not even sidewalks, and landscaping to include planting and flowers and mowing etc etc.

I mean they are pulling in like a half mil a year with everything and only spent 285K last year.

seems to me that our dues can go down buy about $10 a month with plenty of room to spare.


oh and as far as the liens go...not 1 cent has been collected on liens, so either they don't push the fact or every single person has paid their dues.
