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.
Yearly maintenance fee? We have no yearly maintenance fee. Are you talking about the amenity fee? That doesn't vary much between houses. We own a 23 year old villa that is a rental and we own a 10 year old designer home in which we live. The amenity fee is the same.
