Why HOA fees look the way they do in San Francisco

Why do HOA fees vary within San Francisco?

Even within the same city, fees can range from under $50/month to over $2,000/month depending on several factors:

  • Amenity level — communities with golf courses, full-time staff, or resort-style pools carry significantly higher fees than basic landscaping-only HOAs.
  • Building age — older buildings typically require higher reserve contributions and more frequent major repairs.
  • Reserve fund health — an underfunded HOA may have artificially low fees today but face a large special assessment in the future.
  • Property type — condos in high-rise buildings generally carry higher fees than detached SFH communities due to shared building system costs.
