The HOA provides extensive coverage that simplifies homeownership, including exterior maintenance, master insurance, lawn care, snow removal, pest control, water, sewer, professional management, common area maintenance, and reserve funds. Because exterior insurance is included under the master policy, homeowners typically only need a small interior policy—often around $300 per year—which can significantly reduce personal insurance costs while bundling many major homeownership expenses and helping maintain the community’s long-term value.
