I bought a home here in Orange Blossom Gardens almost two years ago. When I bought, the amenity fee was $189 (just for amenities.) That was on my first bill. My second bill jumped to $232. That was just for amenities, not including water, sewer, garbage etc. It went up $41 a month. I called and their excuse was it goes up 3 to 5 percent every three years. That is BS, because I know people who bought in this area one year before me and their amenity fee is still the same amount as when they purchased their home almost three years ago. I checked with all my neighbors. No one on my block had amenities that went up $41 at the time mine did. So now they are going to raise them again. That will be my cue to get out of Dodge.
