What is "Resort-style living", "No Mello Roos" and "direct access garage"? [closed]
I read this description of a (rather expensive) house for sale in California, USA:
Resort-style living in Baker Ranch community with No Mello Roos. This turnkey The Rowe Plan 1X townhome was built in 2017 and is located near the Vista Swim Club with a spacious courtyard featuring 3 upstairs bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms, and a direct access 2-car garage with approx. 1,500sf of living space. This model perfect home welcomes you with an open floor plan, 9' feet ceilings, upgraded high-end laminate flooring, wall mounted flat panel TV pre-wired, and recessed lights in the great room and all of the rooms.
The neighbourhood looks cozy but not like a "resort" at all.
- What would be a garage that is not "direct access"?
- "Mello Roos" did have a Wikipedia entry, but I couldn't understand the description.
- Resort-style living means what exactly? What makes that house such a "resort-style" house? Does somebody come and change my blankets for me every day and put a mint chocolate on the pillow? (I very strongly doubt that.)
Best Answer
- One example of a garage that's not "direct access" is parking apartment style: a shared garage with assigned spaces, but you need to take communal elevators/stairs to reach your house, instead of having a direct entrance into your house.
- Mello-Roos is an additional property tax of sorts in California.
- "Resort-style" is a pretty vague term, but here I presume it means that residents get access to shared facilities like pools, tennis courts, etc.
