Monthly costs and fees
Up to about $772 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.

Living at Tempo
Half the plans are one-level flats and half are two-level townhomes, some entering on the first floor and some on the fourth. Kitchens have granite and stainless appliances.
Residents share landscaped courtyards with a fountain, barbecues and an outdoor fireplace. Having shops and services downstairs is a real convenience, and the busier street level is worth knowing about if you are a light sleeper.
