Maintenance charges are never what they seem – Ambika Florence Park

Honestly, I thought finding a smaller place after the kids left would be easy, but getting clear on *actual* maintenance costs for societies like Ambika Florence Park is a challenge. We're downsizing, want something manageable near a hospital, not constant surprises. My tip: always ask for the last two years' audit reports, not just the current quoted monthly charge. Found out some societies have huge one-time assessments not covered by monthly fees. Is this common for Florence Park residents? What's the real monthly outgo, including those hidden extras? Hope this helps someone avoid surprises.
