Condo Fees: What's 'Normal' in Boston for 2025?

When buying a condo in South Boston or the North End, the monthly HOA fee is just as important as the mortgage. But what should you expect to pay in 2025?

The 2025 Breakdown

Standard (No Elevator): Expect $250 - $450/month. This usually covers water, sewer, master insurance, and common area maintenance. Mid-Range (Elevator/Parking): Usually $500 - $900/month. Often includes a part-time superintendent and snow removal. Full-Service Luxury: $1,500 - $3,000+/month*. This covers 24/7 concierge, pools, gyms, and valet parking.

Pro Tip

Always ask for the Reserve Study. A healthy 'savings account' for the building prevents surprise assessments later.
