About This Tool
HOA fees can significantly impact affordability — a $500/month HOA fee costs $180,000 over 30 years. However, it covers exterior maintenance you'd otherwise pay out of pocket. In high-cost markets (Manhattan, Miami Beach, San Francisco), condos are often the only viable ownership option.
