My expenses are about $1500/month before food.

Specific items you mentioned:
Water/Sewer/Amenity (one bill): $250/month
Electric: $120/month
Bond (paid as part of yearly tax bill): $1,500/year
Remainder of property tax and assessments: $4,500/year
Home insurance: $1,000/year
Those are good estimates, depending on the value of the home.
I think the bond at $1,500 is probably a bit low these days and can vary, so check that out
