DonM Not every place with a HOA has amenities like you list. Some have zip. Except for the "Nancy" in the neighborhood that walks the beat daily. And is not even on the board. Yet reports to it daily.😉
DonM Maybe people are willing to pay extra to have a health club, pools, tennis, pickleball, clubhouse, dozens of clubs, wood shop, crafts, billiards, bar and grill, and a golf course.
But, did they not already pay for such things in the pricing of the houses bought?? From my POV, they did. Any maint. fees should already be in the bank for them.
