I asked. You answered. Below is what we learned.
I’ve posted two lists.
One is an alphabetical list of 80 or so homeowners associations and their cousins — community, neighborhood, recreation, condo and townhome associations. All are from the Colorado Springs region.
The second file contains a numeric list, ranking them top to bottom by amount.
On the alpha list, I’ve included comments I received in e-mails from you, the source of the information. However, I have not included any names or e-mail addresses.
If you find this interesting, informative, valuable or wrong, tell me. Shoot me an e-mail at bill.vogrin@gazette.com. Then stay tuned.
In the very near future, I will be creating a more formal questionaire about HOA dues. It will ask you to click through the amenities you recieve for your money and even comment on the quality of your HOA.
I’m hoping the database will even include a map feature.
There are two ways to look at the database. You can either read the alphabetical list posted below or follow these links to the list: Alphabetical list and Numeric list
Alpine Glen at Peregrine
38 homes pay $305 master plus $345 to the sub-division or $650 a year
Aspen Leaf Townhomes Condominium Association
20-unit townhome complex with nonthly dues of $120 or $1,440 a year
Autumn Heights Community Owners Association
Dues 223$ per month or $2,676 a year. This gets you a clubhouse, spa, all lawn care, trash, community watering costs, fence repair, snow removal, road & sidewalk repair, external walls and roof repair, on all townhouses. Everything inside the walls is your problem. This HOA is down along Star Ranch road & Broadmoor Bluffs.
Broadmoor Resort Community
$3,360 – gated community above The Broadmoor hotel.
Broadmoor Village
Dues are $260.00 per month or $3,120 per year which covers lawn maintenance, water for the lawn, snow removal, gate and street repairs and just wondered how that compares with some of your research.
Carriages at Charleston Place
80 patio homes with dues of $181 a month or $2,172 a year
Cedar Heights Community Association
$602/quarter (or $2,408 annually) for Lot with House. Dues are lower for a Raw Lot. Dues cover operating costs and capital needs (like roads).
Community at Spring Creek
single-family homes pay $46 per month, or $552 annually for trash pickup, common area maintenance and not much else.
Cottonwood Creek Townhome Association
near the corner of Union and Woodmen currently charges $173 per monty or $2,076 per year. HOA dues include water, sewer, trash, recycling, landscape maintenance and snow removal. We maintain a swimming pool and tennis courts for the homeowners.
Discovery Homeowners Association
$30 a year, plus a voluntary $20 for police protection
Dublin Manor Condominium Association
managed by Haley Realty dues are $ 2,254 per year or $286.56 per month. This includes ABSOSLUTELY NOTHING! No clubhouse, no swimming pool, no security checking the premises, no block get togethers, not even a playground of any sort for the children. It has been painted one time since 1997. They mow the grass and shovel the sidewalks
Eagle Rock Neighborhood, Inc.
charges a whopping $10/year HOA due. For that we get an annual members meeting, which we held just yesterday, a real sense of community, a neighborhood watch and a board of 10 volunteers to address any member’s concerns.
Eagles Nest Homeowners Association
Dues 155$ per month or $1,860 a year. This gets you commons areas maintenance, lawn care (however, water billing for sprinklers is your cost), fence repair, maintenance of drainages & thru-hood sidewalks & paths, and snow removal. This HOA is up around the Vindicator & GardenGods zone, north of Intel.
Erindale Townhomes
Erindale Townhomes (off Vickers & Academy behind Bally’s and Taco Bell). The complex is managed by Haley Realty. My dues are $191 a month or $2,292 a year and that covers water, sewer, trash, and all outside maintenance. The dues were $169 last year but took a huge leap due to the increase in water costs. The complex is well maintained and the association has initated some xeriscaping this year but I still wonder if my HOA dues are on the high end, especially since my complex has no ammenities beyond RV parking and a basketball hoop, both in an undeveloped corner of the complex.
Fairways Springs Ranch HOA
Dues are $174.00 a month and $2,088 a year. They started at $135 a month when the HOA was in legal dispute with a builder in 2003 . I was told because of legal fees. What is included: snow plowing, snow shoveling the walks leading to our door, lawn care (postage stamp sized yards in the back only), insurance on the outer structure, painting when it’s needed (around every two years) and legal fees. There is no recreation center, and although we sit on a golf course dues are not included. It is so utterly frustrating I can’t stand it.
Fifteenth Fairway Townhome Owners Association
Near Valley Hi, dues are $125 a month or $1,500 a year
Fountain Valley Ranch Home Owners Association, Filing 4A and 4B
We have a five member Association board of directors that looks after all the areas of responsibility. We have 76 homes in our association. Annual dues per home owner is $66.50.

Dues: $200.00 per month or $2,400 a year.
Golden Hills HOA
in Rockrimmon, with covenants recorded in 1972. Dues at that time were $75 per year, and at this time continue at that same rate. While an effort is ongoing to increase those dues to cover escalating expenses, nothing has been changed at this date.
The dues cover maintenance of the Association common area, which covers slightly over 80 acres, insurance, mowing, community signs,various supplies, several events such as a semi-annual garage sale, a summer event (this year an ice cream social and magician), Halloween Trunk or Treat event, Chirstmas lighting contest and lights in the association park. A community web-site is hosted plus a newsletter that is mailed 4 times each year. Attorneys fees are a necessity, especially currently when an owner is suing the HOA claiming ownership of a portion of the common area (that belongs to all deed holders) through Adverse Possession. We have an involved and informed board of directors of 8 people, plus a number of volunteers who assist with many services.

This income from our 531 lots provides the HOA with a full time business office with one employee to manage the HOA business, including covenant enforcement, managing the common area maintenance, records management, finances, etc. The dues also pays for maintenance of our common areas which I estimate at about 60 acres; this includes a sports field and playground.

Dues are $95 per quarter or $380 a year which includes trash pickup, common area maintenance, and administration. We also pay $62 to Wasson Properties which maintains the common area median from Interquest to Northgate along Voyager but not within our HOA community. They do not maintain the street or remove the snow. The “fee” was recently raised from $37 to $62 under the pretext that the cost of watering was to increase. The neighborhood consists of 321 homes, built from 2001-2007. The dues cover maintenance and landscaping of all common areas, weekly garbage pick-up (including use of a large wheeled garbage can), insurance, neighborhood community events (advertising for our annual garage sale, movie nights, Sky Sox games, etc) “Yard-of-the-month” awards, “Best holiday lights” awards, “Welcome baskets” for new neighbors, a quarterly newsletter, all community governance (yes, this means covenants are enforced!) and the small salary paid to our very competent Administrative Assistant.
North Range at Springs Ranch HOA
Springs Ranch has about 11 separate HOAs under one master HOA. This is where it gets complicated:
Some 511 home comprise North Range, one of the separately managed HOAs, and our dues total of $130 a year. North Range is presently charged $40 per home as our portion of the master association maintenance (SRMA). So our management company attempts to collect $130.00 from each home (can we say the economy stinks and foreclosures abound ?) and sends $40 of that sum to SRMA, leaving $90.00 to North Range for all other expenses: Management, insurance, maintenance and repair of the 5 easements that lie within North Range, newsletters and homeowner info, etc.
North Range at Springs Ranch HOA, Inc is managed by Courtney and Courtney and pays in full each year the SRMA portions as they become due regardless of state of our internal finances and needs. We post online, send budget reports with each letter that invites all homeowners to the Annual Meeting, post and openly welcome any homeowner to the regular meetings, and enforce the CC&Rs to maintain the value of the area.
Old Broadmoor Road Condominium Association
50-unit condo complex where dues are $250 per month or $3,000 a year (Manager: Courtney & Courtney) which includes structure insurance, exterior maintenance of homes except decks which are owner’s responsibility, lawn care & maintenance, and trash pickup weekly. I am amazed that some HOA residents do not know more about their HOA Budgets, etc. They should attend meetings or run for a Board Vacancy or ask for a copy of their budgets to learn about where their money is going and why. They need to know about escrows for future expenses, and many other items.
Parkside at Mountain Shadows
$107 per month or $1,284 a year.
Peregrine Master
$305 a year for the master association which counts 850 homes. Three sub-associations bring the total in Peregrine to 1006 homes.

For that we get: All yard maintenance, including water for the sprinkler systems, trash pickup, snow removal, all maintenance for the exterior of our homes which will eventually include roof replacement.

Raintree Springs is a complex of 28 buildings with four townhomes in each building near Academy and Flintridge. Our monthly dues are now $154 or $1,848 a year, but are tentatively scheduled to increase to $161 next calender year or $1,932 a year. With that income we are maintaining a swimming pool and buildings that are approximately 35 years old. Dues include water, sewer and trash removal charges for the entire complex. Since I help put together the annual budget each year, I of course feel that we are keeping the dues as low as we possibly can, and still be able to maintain the complex.

At present, they also have an ACC Architectural Control Committee which screens new house plans, and approves all major landscaping and external house modifications or changes. This group still maintains liability insurance, and legal cover, for any future damages due to drainage failures. The original Spires Development Corporation is now defunct & extinct, and only exists as an insurance entity, until their legal-liability time expires, in roughly 4+years.
