I understand it will vary, but I understood that to be about average. That's separate from the mortgage, if any.

If I'm wrong, someone with more knowledge please correct me.
To be very respectful the last thing I would do is take the figures from someone who's trying to sell me home, their job is to sell this lifestyle that's how they make their paycheck , selling homes in the villages. if you have determined that this lifestyle is for you and there are some that think it is and then leave after 18 ar months to two years for whatever reason, I would become active in the church or call one of the pastors at one of the local churches and they might be able to help you get in touch with someone who does not have A vested interest to get into your billfold and make money off of you as opposed to giving you the True facts. believe me there are people that are stuck here they don't have money to move anywhere else they are can barely afford to do the bare minimum's here and keep up their bills. speaking to some of the utility workers that were cutting people for nonpayment of their electric bills you would be very surprised the amount of people here that have the utilities turned off for nonpayment. good luck to you on your search I do hope you're able to come here it is a wonderful place take into account all of the other added expenses and always remember when you buy a house ask whthe bond is because the salesman for the villages you have to pry it out of them. almost all jobs here unless super professional are barely above minimum wage. enjoy this is a great place no other place like it it has its faults but all in all if you can afford it is wonderful!
