What Are HOA Fees?
If a home is in a managed community, it usually carries a monthly HOA fee.
What they cover
HOA (homeowners association) fees fund shared costs — landscaping, amenities, common-area maintenance, sometimes water or insurance. They're most common for condos, townhomes, and planned communities.
In the dataset
The dataset stores hoa_fee normalized to a monthly dollar amount, so annual or quarterly dues are directly comparable across listings.
