At my previous residence, my amenity fee was $40 per month. That paid for common area maintenance, two small kids parks (which we didn't use) and weekly graffiti removal. No pools, rec centers, golf, nightly entertainment, gates, shopping, community watch, etc. Plus we paid about $125 per month in state income tax. Here, I'm paying less per month and getting so much more.
