Here is the cost for two different homes. The higher one has a pool so uses more electric gas and water. I totaled the months as they vary a lot every month and took the average. Water includes amenity fee plus trash, but those are $134 plus $17 or $151 every month, the rest is water.

Pool home, used 7 months. Water $231, Electric $155, Gas $93, Cable $95 and Lawn $50 or total utilities about $7500 for the year.

Non pool home, used 9 months. Water $207, Electric $61, Gas $55, Cable $95 and lawn $50 or total about $5600 for the year.

Homes are 2000 (pool home) and 1850 square feet designer homes. So a pool heated by solar and gas used year around is about $2000 for the year plus another $1200 for pool service. Lower then I expected.

Hope this helps.
