I am looking at buying a house, and a few nice ones popped up in the area. 

I was thinking of checking one out and possibly putting in an offer, until I saw the HOA monthly fees. What a joke...especially for what it provides. Needless to say, that $160 extra a month turned me away from that area. I will gladly pay for something when I think it's worth it, but this isn't one of those cases.

I feel sorry for the current residents who have to pay this silly montly fee for such small advantages.
