What does it cost to own in Arizona Traditions?
Unlike the communities inside a master plan, Arizona Traditions has a single HOA that funds the golf course, the clubhouse and ballroom, the pools, and the courts and common areas. Recent public listings have shown dues in the neighborhood of about $200 per month, but the figure is set by the association’s budget and adjusts over time. Rather than quote a number that may be out of date, we’ll confirm the current dues for any specific home — ask us, or check with the Arizona Traditions HOA directly. Confirm all amounts in escrow.
