Prominent among them is Ocean Village POA on South Hutchinson Island, a gated beachfront community managed by FirstService Residential. The area offers a mix of condos, townhomes, villas, and single-family homes with varying fee structures. Many properties emphasize coastal living with access to beaches, waterways, and recreational facilities. Residents enjoy a relaxed yet active lifestyle in a parklike setting with 3,500 feet of beachfront.
HOA and condo fees vary significantly by property type, building, and association. In Ocean Village, fees contribute to maintenance of common areas, amenities like the golf course, pools, and beach club, as well as reserves and insurance. Typical monthly fees range from $300 to over $800 depending on the unit and amenities included (e.g., higher for oceanfront or those with marina access). Fees often cover landscaping, structural maintenance, security, and shared facilities. Additional costs may include special assessments for reserves or improvements. Many single-family homes on the island have no HOA fees.
