Dublin Condos and HOAs (Pleasanton, Pleasant Hill: HOA, insurance, townhouse)

[Kittynews]

We have been hunting for locations right on BART and found that there are new condos built right on Dublin/Pleasanton line.

The plans look great but a 2bd 2ba is around $575K 1200 ft and comes with a hefty $450.

There are some condos an exit away that are about 75k cheaper...but I do like the design and convenience of the ones right off the station.

Any thoughts on whether or not they're over priced? Do you think the HOA is too high? I think it covers water, sewer, gas, and common areas with a gym facility.

In this area, I think that $450 for new condos in Dublin is about right. I live in a 25 year old townhouse in Pleasant Hill and pay $270 and it goes up every year. It covers landscaping, water, has a pool and tennis courts, earthquake insurance and I get a new roof when its time. Does not cover garbage or gas. As far as the cost of the condo itself, that is a central area so you are not going to find anything much cheaper in that location. Good luck!
