Southern Highlands HOA Fees Explained

All Southern Highlands residents pay a master association fee of approximately $62 per month, which funds the maintenance of community parks, common areas, landscaping, and the 24 hour security patrol. Individual subdivisions within Southern Highlands have additional HOA fees that vary based on amenities and services provided.

Master Association Fee

The Southern Highlands Community Association collects the master plan fee from every homeowner. This assessment covers community wide benefits: park maintenance, the Paseo trail system, roving security, common area landscaping, and community events. This fee applies regardless of which subdivision you live in.

Subdivision HOA Fees

Beyond the master fee, each neighborhood within Southern Highlands maintains its own homeowners association with separate dues. These fees vary significantly based on the level of amenities and security provided.

Entry level and mid range subdivisions typically charge between $150 and $350 monthly. Guard gated communities command higher fees due to staffed entrances and enhanced security. For example, The Foothills charges approximately $287 to $600 monthly plus the master fee. Royal Highlands and similar guard gated neighborhoods fall in comparable ranges.

Luxury subdivisions carry premium assessments. The Estates at Southern Highlands charges $500 to $650 monthly. Tuscan Cliffs assessments run approximately $208 monthly. The Enclave charges around $325 monthly. Vintage Canyon ranges from $285 to $550 monthly. All of these are in addition to the master association fee.

What HOA Fees Cover

Fees typically fund guard services (in gated communities), common area maintenance, exterior landscaping in some neighborhoods, community amenities, and reserve funds for future repairs. The Southern Highlands Community Association maintains strict architectural standards, ensuring homes and yards meet community appearance guidelines.
