Buying in OPM / Closing Costs |
|
Thank you for your interest in our wonderful neighborhood!
The vast majority of homeowners in our neighborhood belong to the Old Paper Mill Homeowners' Association, which allows certain access to Old Paper Mill's common properties including the clubhouse, swimming pool, tennis courts and the children's playground.
There are two types of Association memberships - Recreation and Civic. A Recreation Member has access to all Old Paper Mill's common properties including the clubhouse, swimming pool, tennis courts and the children's playground. Civic Members only have access to the clubhouse and the children's playground.
(1) If you are buying a Civic Member home, the home automatically converts to a Recreation Member home at closing - closing costs would be $500.
(2) If you are buying a home that is not a member of the Association, you may join as a Recreation Member with closing costs of $1,000. If you purchase an Old Paper Mill home that is not a member of the Association and do not join, you are asked to voluntarily pay $500 to the Association for the general upkeep of the common properties which includes landscaping, one of the largest expenses incurred. Most homeowners who are not members voluntarily pay the requested contribution.
As of 2024, Recreation Member dues are $900 per year and closing costs are:
Dues are payable in the first quarter of each year, typically in January when the annual Association meeting is held. For 2024, the Annual meeting was held in February 2024.
