Much higher than the amenity fees, I'd wager...

You'd probably lose by a good amount depending on what you consider part of the fees or what he didn't pay for that we do.
Last time I looked which was 5 years ago it was under $3500/yr for him and he lived there for about 22 years. His 2/1 unit wasn't much smaller than our 2/2. Not sure if new owners paid more or the rates are higher now but the fees also included a $200 credit to the local restaurant every 6 months which had a branch in their clubhouse (and had GREAT breakfasts), all lawn mowing, all fire department fees, all trash collection fees, all golf fees (only had 3 courses but all is relative), free cable (but only 60 channels upgrades available) and 200Mbps internet for next to nothing, exterior cleaning and exterior painting. $200 year for full maintenance on ALL appliances (he had a new central air system installed for free about 2mos before he passed). The costs were the same whether it was a 1,2 or 3 b/r unit. Condo Only had 2000 units but it's all relative.
Oh, he got 2 "permanent" tags he could put in the windshield which they charged $25 each for or a free keyfob tag as well as "real" security gates.
