What are people paying for HOA fees in Boston and what’s included? Looking around and most condos with any sort of amenities beyond landscaping are running 700+ which seems a bit ridiculous…

Condos are generally a money pit

Our condo that doesn’t have any amenities is $600 that just covers insurance, landscaping, heat and water. Have seen >$2000 when you want real amenities like a pool and doorman.

$250 in Charlestown. Includes cleaning service for common spaces, snow removal / landscaping, insurance, and common space utilities. But we’re a small, 4 unit building so we keep it simple, opt to not have a huge reserve, and just do assessments as needed.

Do you recommend we go for a serviced/luxury apartment (e.g. Montaje, 345 Harrison, etc.) or hire a broker to get a “normal” apartment?

Any managed buildings recommendations within our budget? Also, what are some good brokers we could work with?

Thanks!
