Carlsbad Planned Unit Developments VERSUS Carlsbad Condominiums
Carlsbad Planned Unit Developments or PUD's usually take the form of a community of town homes or detached homes. There is a Home Owners Association and a monthly fee is assessed to cover certain expenses. Membership in the HOA is always mandatory. The HOA fee in Carlsbad Palisades is used to cover exterior building maintenance (like the new exterior paint scheme applied in Nov 2012..click here to see an image of the approved plan), maintenance of commonly owned property and assets (pools, spas, tennis court, paths and all outbuildings) and road maintenance (resealing & restriping).
The difference between a Carlsbad PUD town home and a condominium town home is that in a PUD, you actually own the land your town home sits on, and usually a small back and front yard also. In the case of a condominium town home, all land is commonly owned and maintained. Some people prefer a PUD because of this feature. You can landscape and enjoy the limited land you own, rather than having no control whatsoever.
The litmus test for Carlsbad PUD popularity is usually evident in the sales activity, meaning that if units are selling, willing and able buyers want to own them.
In conclusion the main difference between a PUD town home in Carlsbad Palisades and and a Carlsbad condominium town home is that in a PUD, you own some land. In a condo, you don't.
