You own your cluster site and house, but the association maintains common areas, landscaping (except private courtyards), and exterior painting of front doors and garage doors. Snow plowing of driveways is provided, but you are responsible for sidewalk snow removal.

• Assessments & fees: Annual assessments are set by the association; as of 2008 they were $330 per year. Initially capped at $480 per cluster site until homes are sold. Special assessments can be levied. Late fees: $25 per month after a grace period. Assessments are a lien on the property, subordinate to first mortgages.
