I have been told Leisure Village homes have no gas and are therefore powered only electrically. So how much should I plan for as an electric bill?
It is true that all the homes run off electric power. It is hard to put a number on your monthly bill because it will vary based on your usage, home size, and type/quality of appliances. Your best resource is to check with Southern California Edison Company at (800) 655-4555. If you call SCE and give them the address of the home you are interested in, they will give you an idea of the past average electric bills. You can also use www.sce.com.
What does hoa cover?
Most utility bills but not electric. Water, sewer, trash, common area, roofs, outside painting, all the common area, fire, flood and earthquake insurance to the structure.
