What should a buyer or seller do with these numbers?
Buyers
- Use $1,733 a month, or $1.29 per square foot, as the Highland Beach midpoint; ask why a unit sits far outside $1,428 to $2,717.
- Ask for three documents before you fall in love: the current budget, the reserve study, and the latest milestone or structural report. 9% of Highland Beach listings bring up a special assessment on their own.
- If the community has a master association, confirm both layers are in the quoted fee; 5.4% of Highland Beach listings show two.
Sellers
- State the fee, its billing cycle and what it covers in the listing; buyers compare against this page and against 111 other Highland Beach listings.
- If an assessment is paid or none is pending, say so plainly; 8.1% of your competition already does.
- A fee above $2,717 is not a defect if the coverage justifies it; list the coverage.
Media writers
- Angle: Highland Beach condo fees run 116% above the five-county median ($1,733 vs $801); 98.2% of listings ask $1,000 or more.

Questions people actually ask about Highland Beach condo fees
What is the median fee in Highland Beach?
As of October 15, 2026, the median monthly-equivalent fee for Highland Beach condominiums is $1,733 in the retained usable-fee sample after exclusions and percentile trimming: 111 retained of 116 active listings (115 valid fees before trimming). 25th and 75th percentiles: $1,428 and $2,717. 98.2% have fees of $1,000 or more; 0% are below $500. These are recorded fees, not verified payments.
How are fee frequencies and association layers handled?
Within the retained sample after exclusions and percentile trimming, 25.2% have quarterly frequency. Quarterly fees are divided by three, semiannual by six and annual by twelve. Usable MLS fee layers are summed. 6 of 111 retained listings (5.4%) have a second layer. Unusable fee records are excluded rather than assigning a missing frequency.
What does the fee cover, and are assessment mentions verified?
Within the retained sample after exclusions and percentile trimming, 110 listings record at least one coverage item: Common areas: 86.4%; Water: 80.9%; Grounds: 75.5%; Trash: 75.5%; Cable TV: 75.5%; Sewer: 66.4%. Coverage shares use that denominator. Assessment mentions are 10 of 111 retained listings (9%), classified by keywords; no charges inferred from remarks are added to the fee. A blank field does not verify absence. Ask the association for current budget, coverage and charges.
Which denominators and date apply?
Fee statistics describe the retained usable-fee sample after exclusions and percentile trimming, not every property for sale. Monthly-equivalent fees below the 1st or above the 99th percentile are excluded within each geographic sample. City, county and five-county samples are trimmed separately; the region is not a median of city medians. Publication requires 30 valid-fee listings before trimming; retained n is stated separately. A city with 30–39 valid-fee listings is a small sample. Secondary measures use further qualifying fields and their own denominators. Retained sample n=111, after exclusions and each geography's p1/p99 trim. Year, area and price measures require usable fields: fee per area uses LivingArea ≥300, n=111; annual fee/price uses ListPrice ≥$20,000, n=111. Data snapshot: October 15, 2026; publication and correction dates are separate. 4 of 115 valid fees were excluded by percentile boundaries; they are not verified errors.
