compared with other communities I have checked, current HOA fee of $45 is too high.

villages by golden heritage: $15/month

palm valley by tw lewis: $36/month plus access fee to palm valley community recreation center (swimming pool, tennis courts, etc. fully staffed) ~ $20.

the above are communities in the neighborhood with comparable or higher home prices.

new subdivisions in laveen area: ~$30/month is typical.

SUGGESTION:

reduce current HOA fees by $10/month immediately, that is $120/year per household - meaningful saving.
