Has anyone recently purchased either Brookfield or Lennar property at Boulevard, Dublin, CA. It looks promising from the outside. How's your experience so far?

Few of the condos I checked out has HOA of $500+. WTF!!

    Condos with elevators etc will have higher HOA, also communities with 'amenities'.
    Also note that Boulevard will have extra mello roos tax for many years on top of standard 1.3 or so prop tax.

      This explains why the tax estimate was so high when I looked these up on Zillow.

      MEllo Roos is a special tax that the municipality can issue on property for the purpose of paying bonds for general improvement such as school district, fire district, roads, public buildings. They issue muni bonds for that, so long as 2/3 of the municipality approves of it. This is a purely California thing, and it means you could potentially be paying additional taxes

    I decided to look somewhere else as HOA was high (350-500) on top of a 1.8% tax rate (regular + Mello Roos tax). Outside of that, great location and walking distance to BART.

      As great as the homes in boulevard look, there is a reason they aren’t selling. If you don’t mind the extra tax then I would say go for it. Pros are you get a new house and close to bart, cons high hoa (maybe for things you won’t be using) and the stupid 1.8or 1.88% property tax
