Buying a Condo in The Village at Lake Murray

A few things we help every The Village at Lake Murray buyer check:

Ask exactly what the monthly association fee covers and whether any special assessments are planned
Confirm in writing whether a boat slip, lift, or storage space comes with the specific unit, can be transferred, or is leased separately — it varies
Ask to be added to the marina waitlist as soon as you close if you want a slip
Ask about rental rules — our own listing noted a six-month minimum on rentals
Confirm which county the unit is in, since tax bills differ
Ask for the association's governing documents, rules, budget, and current fees before you write an offer
Confirm school assignment for the specific address with the school district
Compare recent sales of truly similar condos rather than a community average
