Talk to a Specialist →The Lawn Care Distinction
Every Del Webb community in this market — Nexton, Cane Bay, Point Hope — requires owners to arrange and pay for their own lawn service, typically $80–$120/month. Cresswind's HOA at approximately $249–$260/month covers individual lot lawn maintenance. When buyers compare HOA figures, this is the adjustment most miss. On an apples-to-apples basis, Cresswind's total carrying cost is closer to Del Webb Nexton's than the sticker HOA numbers suggest.
