The most popular and most expensive Condo configuration is the Townhome style. This form of Condo has the living area downstairs (Kitchen, living room and sometimes family room), and the bedrooms upstairs. It will usually have 2.5 baths and a 1 or 2 car garage that is accessible from the downstairs living area. Often times this type of Condo will have a decent sized fenced backyard. The ultimate configuration is an end unit Condo which provides the maximum in privacy and sound attenuation.
Association dues for Condos will range from a low of about $110 to as high as $275. This wide range may be due to many factors such as; age of complex, amenities provided (pool, spa, tennis courts), extent of landscaping, construction materials used, management etc. Condo association dues usually pay for home owners insurance, trash pick-up, all exterior grounds maintenance, exterior maintenance of your Condo, etc.
As compared to most Condos, detached homes have the advantage of having a small to large lot where you can have custom landscaping or garden, toys, extra storage, spa or even a private pool. As mentioned above, detached houses cost a bit more than a comparable Condo due primarily to the cost of the larger plot of land. Plus, in most cases (except for zero lot line tracts), you will have 5 feet or more of space on all four sides of your home which provides more privacy and sound attenuation.
Generally speaking, older detached homes will have larger lots and little to no association dues, and no Mello-Roos tax, but may be in need of some deferred maintenance. Newer homes of comparable size and cost will usually be in better physical condition, contain modern architectural features, but typically have smaller lots, moderate association dues and in some cases additional Mello-Roos taxes, as compared to older detached houses.
