Are the Condo Fees Too Expensive? - First Time Homebuyer Advice

John Park
Posted

Hello, 

Not sure if i'm in the right place, but any help is appreciated.  I'm a first time home buyer,  looking for a condo for primary residence.   I was interested this place:

https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/12140-Garden-Grove-Cir-UN...

It looks decent, but then I noticed the condo fee of  $469/mo.   For the amount of amenities and what the fee pays for, do you think that it's too much?  The condo doesn't have an elevator, but the other amenities are listed below:

  • Amenities included: Common Grounds, Fitness Center, Gated, Reserved/Assigned Parking
  • Services included: Common Area Maintenance, Maintenance Structure, Insurance, Management, Pool(s), Recreation Facility, Reserve Funds, Snow Removal, Trash, Water, High Speed Internet

Thanks in advance for any advice!
