early, the high HOA/MR is a double edged sword. the obvious of course is the high cost. but there are a lot of benefits on the flip side.

I find places like the Crosby and Santaluz are extremely well kept. the HOA is much stricter when it comes to a home’s maintenance. and really crack down and enforces the rules. as a result, there is no skimping on landscape maintenance on the part of the owners. it also raises the bar on would be owners too.

believe me, if I’m independently wealthy and the house would be completely paid off, I would certainly be drawn to Santaluz/Crosby.
