Understanding Your True Monthly Costs
| Community | HOA (Monthly) | CDD (Annual) | Includes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Conway Central | 200 | None | Common area maintenance |
| Greater Conway | $500 | Varies | Amenities, maintenance |
CDD vs. HOA: HOA fees cover community amenities and maintenance. CDD assessments are a separate tax-like charge that pays for infrastructure built by the developer. CDDs appear on your property tax bill and are not optional.
Pro Tip: When comparing homes, calculate total monthly cost including HOA + CDD + property taxes + insurance. A lower-priced home with high fees costs more monthly than a pricier home with no HOA.
