Future maintenance costs are the biggest blind spot for most homebuyers, honestly.

We're looking at Keya Life By The Lake, trying to downsize now that the kids are grown. Don't need such a big place, just something manageable with a good society. I'm really digging into the *actual* maintenance charges, not just what's quoted. Some societies have crazy hidden costs for amenities nobody uses. What's the real scene there? Also, important for us, how's the community vibe and hospital proximity? Any specific questions I should ask residents directly about maintenance? My current place is a headache to manage.
