Pool cleaning is $130/mo, house cleaning service is $120 every two weeks. As the others mentioned don't forget lawn mowing, fertilization, bush trimming, and the other usual costs of T.V. cable/satellite, internet, cell phone, water/irrigation, & amenity. Combination of water, irrigation, amenity, sewer, & sanitation on a dry month can run up to $400 to keep the grass somewhat green. Average bill is about $300 /month. Hope this helps.

We have a similar premier home and these costs are inline with what we are paying.
