WHY BUY A GARAGE?

· Finding storage for your large toys, such as RV’s, Boats and Cars is difficult.

· Protection from the Elements for your prized possessions.

· Builders aren’t making lots large enough to store large investments like RV’s and boats, let alone building homes with extra garage bays that will accommodate extra storage for hobbies like cars, dirt bikes and quads.

· Your community’s HOA. Increasing restrictions on what you can have on your lot, keep it in GarageTown.

WHY GARAGETOWN?

GarageTown has built storage condominiums in 6 states with 19 sites and has perfected the design, maintenance and community feel for each and every GarageTown location. Other storage condo builders focus on maximizing what they can get so they don’t provide amenities like the owner’s clubhouse, multiple onsite restrooms and shower, or other benefits to support the GarageTown community feel. We design our projects and amenities to provide owners with pride in their investment in GarageTown USA.

WHY OWN INSTEAD OF RENT?

You will enjoy the benefits from property ownership over renting. Those include appreciation, equity, tax benefits, unit customization, the ability to lease and resell at anytime, and more. You have the freedom to 24/7 owner access as well as stable payments. (Rent can and will rise over time!)

WHAT IS COMMON OWNERSHIP?

The land and all common facilities in the condominium such as clubhouse, restrooms, etc., and the walls and roofs are owned and operated by the owners through their elected representatives (directors).
This joint ownership and operation means that no individual owner has control over the management and decision-making process. Owners must cooperate with one another as a group (called the condominium association). All owners must abide by the rules and regulations required. The association is like a mini-government with the condominium documents serving as its constitution.

WHAT DO I OWN OUTRIGHT?

You will own the area formed by the walls, floor, and ceiling of your unit and everything inside including interior partitions, cabinets, appliances (air-conditioner), and fixtures. The structural parts of the building are owned in common like the land.

ARE TAXES AND INSURANCE HANDLED DIFFERENTLY THAN WITH A HOUSE?

Taxes, no. Insurance, yes. You will receive a tax bill just as you would with a house. Fire and extended coverage insurance is paid by the condominium association. It will be your responsibility to obtain contents and personal liability insurance for your unit.

ARE THERE MONTHLY DUES?

GarageTown facilities have POA (Property Owner’s Association) fees. Most Under $50/Month.

WHAT DO THE MONTHLY DUES COVER?

The GarageTown USA Property Owners’ Association takes care of everything external on the property, including: common water usage, common electrical usage, trash removal, maintaining landscaping, maintaining the clubhouse and bathrooms, and insuring and maintaining the structure of the GarageTown USA project. This also maintains and enforces the CC&Rs.

ARE THERE CC&R’S?

Yes, Covenants, Conditions & Restrictions are put in force to benefit the GarageTown USA community collectively. With CC&Rs, property values generally will appreciate better than if they were not in force. Many GarageTown owners like CC&Rs because they provide a level of predictability and an expectation of behavior that can be enforced if necessary.

WHAT ARE THE RESTRICTIONS?

Please contact GarageTown USA to talk in more detail about your lifestyle and garage space needs.

CAN I SELL OR RENT MY CONDOMINIUM?

You may always sell your condominium. Units may be rented but the renters must abide by the CC&R’s. The owner of the unit must notify the Association prior to renting the unit as well as when the renter will vacate the facility.

WHAT IS THE OWNER’S CLUBHOUSE?

At GarageTown, we try to create a community feel to our projects. The Owner’s clubhouse is the heart of the facility and creates a place for Owners to go to “hang out”. The Clubhouse varies with each property, but will always include a meeting area, sitting area, common restrooms, as well as a kitchenette area.

IS THE OWNER’S CLUBHOUSE OPEN 24/7?

Yes. Owners may utilize the common facility at their discretion.

WHAT KIND OF SECURITY IS ON SITE AND IN THE UNITS?

Security varies from site to site as different GarageTown locations call for different levels of security. Contact the location that best fits you to find out more.

WHAT OPTIONS ARE AVAILABLE?

Common bathroom facilities will be located in the clubhouse as well as an additional bathroom centrally located on the project.
