with the bond $24900.....the yearly maintance fee for the local $630? and the county taxes, it added up to $7500 a year....thats $625 a month just for taxes...
Way too high for us, But it was a great home.

I thought Lake County didn't allow a bond on the property, and thus, the overall price of the home would look higher because of the lot improvements and street/neighborhood infrastructure would be baked into the home price, not in a separate bond.
Also, a lot of people don't want a 4-bedroom home. They could get a 3-bedroom home there, without the furnishings and cart (which makes for fuzzing price of the actual home), for maybe $25k less, and have pretty much the same thing on the same land.
