Why Buy a Garage Condominium?

At first - some may think buying a garage condo is a ridiculous notion, but after looking at all your options, many find it is a desirable option. The main reasons are:

• Finding storage for your large toys, such as RVs, boats and collectable cars, is difficult. In Texas, the most common storage for these items is canopy-covered exterior storage on an asphalt or dirt lot. This is just not enough to protect your investments from the harsh elements or hurricanes.
• The inability to find reasonably priced land in a secure and convenient area. If land can be found then comes the time and expense to have the buildings engineered, drawn, permitted and constructed. Not to mention the water retention issues.
• Builders aren't making lots large enough to store large investments like RVs and boats, let alone building homes with extra garage bays that will accommodate extra storage for hobbies like cars, dirt bikes and quads.
• Your community's HOA. Although it is nice to have quality in your neighborhood, it isn't nice to be restricted on what you may store on your own lot.

Why Own Instead of Rent?

What is a Condominium?

What is Common Ownership?

The land and all common facilities in the condominium such as the clubhouse, restrooms, etc., and the walls and roofs are owned and operated by the owners through their elected representatives (directors).

This joint ownership and operation means that no individual owner has control over the management and decision-making process. Owners must cooperate with one another as a group (called the condominium association). All owners must abide by the rules and regulations required. The association is there to protect the interest of all Garage Oasis owners.

What Do I Own Outright?

You will own the area formed by the walls, floor and ceiling of your unit and everything inside including interior partitions, cabinets, appliances (air-conditioner) and fixtures. The structural parts of the building are owned in common like the land.

 Can I Customize the Unit?

Yes, we highly suggest adding your own "flair" to your space; however there are certain quality control issues that are stated in the CC&Rs. We have teamed with several companies to provide our buyers with the highest quality of flooring, mezzanines, and more. No exterior changes are permitted.

Are Taxes and Insurance Handled Differently than with a House?

Taxes, no. Insurance, yes. You will receive a tax bill each November just as you would with a house. It includes the value of your unit and undivided share of the land and common facilities. Fire and extended coverage insurance is paid by the condominium association. It will be your responsibility to obtain insurance for the contents and get personal liability for your unit.

Are There Dues?

Yes. The Garage Oasis Property Owners Association (POA) takes care of everything external on the property, including: 24/7 security, common water usage, common electrical usage, lawn and landscaping, maintaining the clubhouse and bathrooms and insuring and maintaining the structure of the Garage Oasis project. The POA also maintains and enforces the CC&Rs.

What are the Restrictions?

Covenants, Conditions & Restrictions (CC&Rs) are put in force to benefit the Garage Oasis community collectively. With CC&Rs, property values generally will appreciate better than if they were not in force. Many Garage Oasis owners like CC&Rs because they provide a level of predictability and an expectation of behavior that can be enforced if necessary.

CC&Rs may restrict the following: Excessive noise, fire hazards, storing hazardous materials, clubhouse usage, running a retail business from a unit, attaching heavy objects to the walls, etc. If you are wondering if your usage is going to be restricted because of the CC&Rs, then please contact us to talk in more detail abut your lifestyle and garage space needs.

Can I Sell or Rent My Condominium?

You may always sell your condominium, but the Directors of the Association must give advance approval to the purchaser. Units may be rented but the renters must abide by the CC&Rs. The owner of the unit must notify the Association prior to renting the unit as well as when the renter will vacate the facility.

What Kind of Security is On Site and in the Units?

Strategically placed closed circuit security cameras record the comings and goings on the property. Each unit has a monitored heat detector. The perimeter is gated and coded for owners access only. Each owner, at his expense, may install cameras in their own unit that can be monitored from their computer at home.

How Wide are the Drive-Aisles?

HUGE 55' drive-aisles.

Is There an RV Dump?

Yes.

Is There Water or Plumbing Available in the Units?

No, but fortunately we have created the owner's clubhouse with three separate bathroom facilities, one with a shower. There are also hose bibs every few units that owners can attach their own hose for uses such as washing vehicles, etc. Please refer to the CC&Rs for prohibited uses.

Do I Have 24/7 Access?

Yes. Yes. Yes. This is one of the most exciting differences between Garage Oasis and all the rest!

How is the Electricity Paid?

Each unit is metered for individual use. However, the common area electricity is paid as part of the annual POA dues.

Is Financing Available?

Yes, we have a preferred bank lender. Call us at (281) 658-7500 for details.

Can I Run My Business Out of My Garage Oasis Unit?

As long as your business model is in accordance with the Association's CC&Rs. Please call to discuss your needs.
