About lock-and-leave homes in Lakewood

Dues are the trade. $200 to $600 a month in Lakewood buys the freedom to leave for a month. The lender counts the dues in your payment.

Reserves. A community that covers the roofs needs the money to replace them. The reserve study tells you whether the dues are real.

Attached or detached. Patio homes give you a detached house with the maintenance handled. Townhomes and condos give you less to insure.
