2. Is there an HOA?
No. There is no Home Owner's Association. We are not a condominium. We are a community of single family homes in a land lease community. MORE

Land lease means that you purchase the house and lease the land.

There are many advantages to home ownership in a land lease community. This option can be particularly appealing to individuals who would like a much lower purchase price for home ownership than traditional real estate in our area. Advantages include:
- Afford a high price location otherwise unattainable to many.
- You can invest the money that leasing land saves you versus buying land.
- More space than typical apartment living.
- Single family home is great for children and pets.

The current site fees range from $943 - $1,037 depending on the location of the home (waterfront is most expensive).

Homeowners are responsible for public utilities that service the inside their homes and for insurance desired to secure against financial loss:

a) Electric: Of course your electric bill will depend on your own personal usage and electric consumption. The largest determinant of an electric bill will pertain to use of air conditioning and types of light bulbs used. New model homes at Rexmere Village and Paradise Village are not only beautiful, but also energy efficient. In a new model home an average couple can expect to pay $75-$150/mo for electricity^*.

b) Water: The city of Davie shares water utilities with the adjacent city of Sunrise. The monthly base water bill is $65, water bill for a couple is $80 - $90, and the rest goes by units used. Sprinkler/irrigation water is provided by the community which helps keep homeowner water bills reasonable – a couple can expect to pay around $50-60/month for water^*. http://www.davie-fl.gov/Gen/DavieFL_UtiltyDpt/waterFAQS?textPage=1^*

c) Cable TV/Internet: The Cable and satellite market is very competitive and there are several options for low cost bundles of television/internet/telephone. Basic cable package is $150/mo^*.

d) Lawn Care: Common areas are beautifully maintained by the community. Homeowners are responsible for keeping their own yards looking attractive and tidy. Each home comes with a private storage shed where lawn care equipment can be stored. Enterprising neighborhood teenagers often offer lawn care, as do numerous area companies. Several homeowners run lawn care businesses. The lawn service range is $15 - $25 per cut^*.

e) Waste/Garbage: Refuse is collected curbside twice a week. Refuse collection is current paid for by the community and is included in the site fee^*.

f) Insurance: Insurance is currently optional for homeowners who own their homes outright. A lender will require insurance and there are different coverage levels available. Historically, homeowners insurance could generally be found for less than $2,500 per year. However, we have observed these prices going up recently from greater government regulation and intervention in the industry.

g) Transportation: Most families own automobiles in South Florida. However public shuttle, transit and rail systems interconnect the Broward/Fort Lauderdale area. There is no charge for the community shuttle service within Davie that picks up at both Rexmere Village and Paradise Village.

We perform credit and criminal background check on all homeowners and people who stay for extended times in the homes of owners.
