If enjoying your home without having to worry about outside maintenance is your preference, consider purchasing a home with an association.  A homeowner's association typically is in place with condos, townhomes, and single level living.  Simply put, a monthly fee is charged by the association (depending on the association, typically ranging from $100-200).  Each member of the association contributes to the fee.  The fees are then used to pay for lawn care, snow removal, sanitation services, homeowner's insurance, etc.  Each varies with the services they provide.  Typically, once a development is completed, a management company is contracted to hire the different services provided.

Ivory Street Development has four different neighborhoods offering townhome association living: Fawn Meadows in Pine City, Fox Run in Mora, Horseshoe Meadows 2nd Addition in Braham, and Horseshoe Meadows 4th Addition in Braham.  (See our available homes to view properties) For $125 a month, your association will take care of all outside maintenance on your home per the community's covenants.  The homeowners' association uses the homeowners' monthly association fees for expenses like lawn care, snow removal, landscape repair, maintaining exterior lighting and other general maintenance or enhancement to the community. Your homeowners' association ensures that you community is kept in excellent condition and that you never have to hassle with exterior maintenance.

If you choose a different development and area to live in, association living is still possible. Each development and home will offer different amenities and monthly fees.  Your Ivory Street Realty professional can let you know exactly what you can expect with the home you select.
