Monthly costs and fees
Up to about $684 a month in recent listings. The $375 master fee covers basic Hotwire cable and internet, the CenterPointe Club and The Resort (gyms and pools), the parks, playgrounds and courts, and 24/7 community security; the beach shuttle is funded separately. Phase I homes also pay Mello-Roos (CFD No. 4) with the property tax bill. It is based on square footage, can rise up to 2% a year, and is expected to end in 2031 when the bonds are paid off. Most Phase I condo HOAs include water. When a home sells, a 0.75% Community Enhancement Fee goes to Playa Vista Community Services, partly to help preserve the Ballona Wetlands. It is a cash closing cost that cannot be financed. Buyers sometimes take it on in a hot market, but most of the time I see it split between buyer and seller. I pull the current HOA budget before a client writes an offer.
What stands out at Paraiso
- Two- and three-story townhomes, up to about 2,790 sq ft
- Frank Lloyd Wright and Mediterranean architecture
- Two-sided fireplaces and home offices in many plans
- Just north of the CenterPointe Club
Living at Paraiso
Half the homes take their cue from Frank Lloyd Wright and half are traditional Mediterranean, all set around interior courtyards. Many have two-sided fireplaces, covered decks, kitchen islands and a home office.
Some plans enter at the courtyard level and others up on the terrace level, so two homes with the same plan can live a little differently. The larger plans add a primary retreat with its own fireplace, and some have a loft.
