Living in a Trilogy community, like Trilogy at Glen Ivy, offers a vibrant, resort-style retirement, but it’s essential for a retiree to consider several factors before moving.
Financial Considerations
- HOA Fees: These communities have homeowners’ association (HOA) fees that can be substantial. For example, at Trilogy at Glen Ivy, fees can range from approximately $240 to over $465 per month, and they don’t always cover the same services for all home types.
- Jay’s Tip: Look in the listing property details for the HOA fees.
- Club Initiation and Enhancement Fees: You may need to pay one-time fees, such as a club initiation fee and a community enhancement fee, when you purchase your home. These are in addition to the monthly HOA fees.
- Maintenance: While some exterior maintenance, like front yards and building exteriors for condos, may be covered by the HOA, homeowners are typically responsible for their own home insurance and the maintenance of their backyard and home interior.
