This is our scenario.
Our HOA fee is about $22 monthly and covers maintenance of common lawn areas, snow removal, trash and recycling removal.
We have to care for our own yards and lawns but truthfully they are so small, its not a big deal at all. And there are several townhome developments, now and springing up, that have NO back yards or grass to cut.
We've been at our place only a year and change but have only spent a few hundred dollars on repairs so far. Where with many condos in the area you can easily spend $200-400 a month regardless of repairs. We are also DIYers.
