Golfing/Boating/Social
Piper’s is a premier a golfing and boating community with a great lifestyle and tremendous social events. Do you (this includes family members) play golf or want to play golf on a regular basis (meaning at least 3 rounds per week), or want to moor your boat in the Marina, or do you want the Social lifestyle of a private Country Club? If not, Piper’s may not be the best choice for you because there is only one level of membership in Piper’s, so all owners support all the amenities.
Be aware that Marina slips have additional fees.

Homeowners Association Dues (HOA):
The HOA dues can be a bit confusing to understand. First a very by the type of home type of homes. Also, they consist of two parts the first part is for the amenities of golf, tennis, and country club. The second part is for the expenses that the homeowner would normally pay for out-of-pocket. They include:
All tips in the clubhouse and on the golf course for all food and beverage including alcoholic beverages,
Your water and sewer charges because Piper’s is on one master meter,

Lawn care for all homes except custom homes.
This can be a bit confusing so do not hesitate to ask me to go over them with you.
