Default Re: costs

South of 466
taxes/bond $5500/12 = $460 (no homestead)
WATER/GARB (AVG)..........70
Elec............................50-75 (not here much)
Amenity fee ..................130
cable basic w tax............15
lawn service(cutting only)..55
house/golfcart insurance... 75
Pest control/lawn bugs......20
telephone (I use my cell)

I would estimate now a monthly cost of about $900-1000...if we lived there full time closer to $1200-1300 with higher electric and telephone bills, This does not consider setting up a new house with window treatments,furniture, wide screen TV, golf cart, landscaping etc which adds tremendously to the intial cost of your purchase
