My former business partner lives in a condo in Venice overlooking the gulf. He's on the 7th floor of 2 14 floor towers. The "amenities" consist of 1 swimming pool, 2 tennis courts, and a gym the size of my living room. For that, he pays an HOA/amenity fee of $750/month. So IMHO, all those that complain about the difference between $173 and $179 or even $190 should STOP WHINING.
I have owned multiple condos like this. Typically, the HOA fee includes electric, cable TV, water, insurance on the building, all landscaping, upkeep to the building exterior as well as amenities. I have paid more than this before as well as less in some of them.
