I'm starting to think that I'm not really getting good value out of my condo fees, which has me really wanting to get a house instead. I own a townhouse in the NE, when I bought it 10 years ago the condo fees were about $100/month. That includes water & sewage, garbage disposal, snow removal, lawn mowing, and general repairs and upkeep of the area. They are now up to $300/month. I'm curious what other people are paying, but I don't know if we'll really be able to compare apples to apples here.
