The Grow ā neighbors, gardens and a farm at the center
HOA dues run roughly $185 to $299 per month, depending on the home type. There is no CDD, which means no extra Community Development District assessment on top of your tax bill.
Why buyers ask
A CDD can add a sizable yearly charge that many buyers do not budget for. At The Grow you can plan around the HOA alone. Dues vary by home type and can change, so ask me for the exact amount and what it covers before you write an offer.
See it in person
Photos only tell part of the story. The farm, the gardens and the open space are what make The Grow different from a typical new-home neighborhood, and the best way to feel it is to walk it.
I would love to take you through the farm, the amenities and the model homes, and help you compare the five series side by side.
