We bought our designer home in Aug 2013. We stay in it for a week or two every three to four months. Our neighbor keeps an eye on it and they communicate with us whenever they check on it. They also empty out our mailbox. We're very lucky we have wonderful neighbors. We use Deans to cut and fertilize the grass and bushes. They also regulate the sprinklers. The following is what we pay monthly:
Amenity fee $149
Trash $18
Sewer $17
Water $65
Electric. $50
Deans $75
Total. $374
The house is empty most of the year. When we stay, of course, the water & electric go up.
We plan on moving in late 2015.
Good luck
Ana & Rick
