I can vouch for the above figures. That's about what we pay. We do our own lawn so save a little there. Our taxes are slightly higher on a designer, but we have no bond so the annual is still around $2300 or so. There is an additional $500/year maintenance assessment The Villages tacks on which I don't see above. So you can say roughly $9000- $10,000/year, not including any mortgage payments.
