My mother is looking to purchase a condo in Century Village WPB. I was wondering how much would the electric bill run her a month. Also what are the property taxes? I am trying to figure out a rough monthly total inclusive of maintenance, utilities and taxes.
Electric could run anywhere from $50-$100 depending on her habits. Because of the way most condos are built you will HAVE to run the air conditioner most of the year.
I have a small condo I rent out most of the year. Electric bill runs from $30 to over $100 depending on the month. This of course is with families running in and out. Your mother should be able to keep it lower.
If she can get homestead exemption on the condo property taxes will be very low maybe even $0. They just increased the amount of exemption.
I would NEVER buy in Florida or anywhere without renting first !!!!! Not only that, with the cost of HOA, insurance and assessments sometimes your better off renting. Trust me -- been there, done that !!! RENT FIRST !!!!

Hi: I just pd 2009 taxes which were 612.00/elec runs about $25 but could be higher depending on air conditioning usage. Fees are 184.75/month to Seacrest and 99.00 /month to WPRF. I have a one, one and a half bath, totally renovated. Only unit that has washer and dryer in unit because I brought in all the proper wiring and plumbing. If interested in buying please email me at [EMAIL="kathzo@yahoo.com"]kathzo@yahoo.com[/EMAIL] Oh, I forgot to say cable is included in the 184.75 (which is a great deal)
Why don't you call Century Village and speak to the person in the real estate office? We were looking at the Century in Boca Raton and I spoke to a lovely woman in their office who was able to tell us specific prices and why some of the buildings were better than others. I specifically remember that the roof materials on some of the buildings were better than those of the other buildings so that directly played into the prices. While we were very impressed with their gorgeous clubhouse, we also considered the (in our opinion) high HOA which for us (2 bedroom unit) would have been in the mid 5s. The fees cover not only the clubhouse but the very nice bus service they run to the surrounding shopping areas. All of these things are very attractive if you need them but if you do not, you are paying for them anyway. We decided that at this point, we would rather not have the extra expense of something we were not going to use so we did not purchase there. In addition, the age group seemed quite advanced and this further convinced us to purchase elsewhere.
