My deceased father lived in a small 1 B/R 1 DEN 1 bath 900 sq ft condo in south FL in Pembroke Pines and his "amenity fee" (condo assoc fee) was $600 a MONTH. Yea, it covered mowing his 20 (twenty) sq ft grass area & garbage dumpster which was about 100 yards from his front door so I think our "fees" are pretty competitive. PLUS just about every other years there was some sort of $500 assessment for their 1 prof golf course and 1 9 hole course and 2 pools. They also had a $18,000 bond which they called a recreation fee (he was lucky, it was paid when he bought it 35 or so years ago). BASIC fees here are pretty low when you compare to a great many properties.
