🌟 The Benefits of Having an HOA

Let’s be real—great neighborhoods don’t happen by accident. ✨If you’ve fallen in love with a community because of the clean streets, curb appeal, or landscaping…
There’s a good chance the Home Owner Association Fee has something to do with it. Here’s what you need to know if you’re buying a condo or site condo in Metro Detroit:

🏢 Condominiums (Condos)
In a condo, your HOA handles almost everything outside your front door. That includes roof repairs, exterior maintenance, lawn care, snow removal, and shared spaces like hallways or garages.
You may also get access to gyms, pools, or clubhouses—all included in your Homeowner Association Fee. Yes, the fees can be higher, but you’re saving time, money, and effort on maintenance.

🏠 Site Condominiums (Site Condos)
With a site condo, you own the house and the yard, like a regular home, but the HOA still covers a few things. Typical site condo HOA fees go toward road repairs, streetlights, snow plowing, or common landscaping. You’re responsible for your roof and siding, but you still get a clean community without handling everything yourself. The key here is rules; make sure you read them and agree. 👌

💡 The Big Picture
Whether it’s a condo or a site condo, a Homeowners Association Fee helps protect your property value and your time. And if you’re buying in Metro Detroit, knowing what the fee covers—and what it doesn’t—helps you make a smart move.
