An entrance-fee community models a financial commitment similar to a condominium purchase, however, no property taxes or homeowner association dues! There is a one-time initial sum, called the entrance-fee (fully refundable), and a monthly fee. The Lodge of Northbrook’s monthly fee covers all utilities, in-home maintenance, parking, services, amenities, operational expenses, and more. Our occupancy level of 95% or more demonstrates that our residents consider their investment in our community to be stable and sound.
