Frequently Asked Questions
Maintenance-free living refers to a community in which the residents do not need to perform yard work such as mowing, edging, and trimming of community landscape.
There is not a clear answer for all communities. For condos, exterior painting is covered in the condo fees. For single family home maintenance-free neighborhoods, exterior painting may or may not be covered. A buyer should check the HOA documents to verify. More often than not, painting is not covered in the HOA fees.
Not necessarily. In condos, roof replacement is included in the condo fees. In single family home neighborhoods, “maintenance-free” often refers to exterior yard maintenance only. In some communities which have shared wall villas, roof replacement might be covered in the HOA fees. However, it is rare to find a single-family home community which includes roof covered in HOA fees.
Public MLS listings are not a very reliable source for this information. It is best to contact an experienced Realtor who can help collect this information.
