Why Two Associations Matter Here
Every home in Forest Landing at Bethany pays two fees: one to the master homeowners association and one to the condominium association.
Two layers of fees: the listings we checked show both, billed monthly. A listing that shows one number may not show both.
Your insurance: the condominium association carries a master policy on the buildings, and the owner insures the inside of the home. Your agent and insurer should read the master policy.
Bear Trap Dunes is separate: living next to Bear Trap Dunes does not give access to its pools or clubhouse. Golf there is paid separately, like any public course.
We will get the resale certificates for both associations before you commit, so you see every fee up front.
