⚠ The Fee Stack: Three Separate Costs Most Buyers Combine
PGA Village Verano has a layered cost structure that catches buyers off guard. There's the HOA fee ($502–$587/mo), a mandatory Club Talavera membership (~$2,000/year) that's separate from HOA on many listings, and a CDD assessment (~$1,400/year) on your tax bill. Golf is the one thing that's optional — membership in the PGA Golf Club is available but not required. Read every line before you budget.

What You're Paying For: Club Talavera
Real resident sentiment is mixed — the amenities draw praise, the fees and management draw criticism. Both perspectives matter.
Residents describe the community as quiet, safe, and friendly, with several saying the HOA fees feel fair for the breadth of amenities you get access to.
Other residents push back hard — citing a ~$1,400/year CDD, HOA fees they consider high and rising, and a sense that the association invests more in sales-facing appearance than in current homeowners. This is worth weighing seriously before buying.
Verano is a genuinely top-tier amenity community with a genuinely complex cost structure.
