Seriously looking at retiring to the Bentwater community but am trying to better understand some of the community guidelines/requirements and fees.

I have read through the HOA docs I could find online to try to figure it all out but was hoping someone living there could also provide more direct insight.

It looks like the social membership to the country club is required, which is all good, as I would be looking to upgrade to the Sports Membership anyway, is that correct? Do those fees increase every year?

What exactly is the maintenance fee for? It seems like there is a $96 a month HOA fee in addition to the maintenance fee? Wondering what the additional fees are for and again, do these fees increase every year a lot?

Are residents allowed to park their vehicles in the driveway? I couldn't figure that out. I use my garage for my vehicles, but may have more than two vehicles.

Anything else I should know or consider would be very helpful and much appreciated before I make this big decision.

TIA

Where is Bentwater? Haven't heard of it.



Usually, things are laid out in the HOA documents.

Bentwater is in Montgomery.

Fees are not laid out in the HOA docs, nor the average increases over time and the parking I asked about wasn't clear to me.

Thank you for the response though!

Section 3.20 of the document I looked at says there is a 10 hour limit on parking on the driveway, but that does not apply to cars and pickups that have valid plates and are used daily.

Section 6.06 covers the purpose of the maintenance charge, which is essentially for maintaining the common areas and paying for street lights.

I hope that helps

I’m pretty sure you are required to at least have a social membership at the country club.
