I live in the historic section. It looks like all the lawns are about the same size except for the premier homes. I pay $45 for four cuts (which is a great deal in the winter) and $35 every two months for pest control & fertilizing. I'm a snow bird so I leave my sprinklers on twice a week. A neighbor will shut them off when we have heavy rains. Amenity for us is around $135 a month - w/water it's up to around $200 a month. I put myself on a $75 a month budget for electric winter & summer. I use my cell phone with no land line. Comcast takes you to the cleaners - $130 a month for TV & computer - legalized thieves. I walk nine holes twice a week with no trail fees - yet. Love to play courses outside TV - a lot cheaper and they appreciate your business. NO BOND IN THE HISTORIC SECTION.
