Charlemont, October 2026
Dues from 2026 MLS listings. VA status from the VA Condo Report, October 20, 2026. Drive time without traffic.
Charlemont was built in 1989 and 1990 around Breeze Hill Road and La Tortuga Drive, with two pools, two spas, a clubhouse with a community room and kitchen, and a billiard room. Listings don't mention a gate. Every floor plan on recent listings comes with a garage.
Listings show a one-bedroom, one-bath at 624 square feet, two-bedroom plans from 846 to 1,104 square feet and a three-bedroom, three-bath at 1,336 square feet. Each unit has a laundry closet. Most plans have a one-car garage, and some larger plans have two.
Dues ran $384 to $451 a month on 2026 listings, covering water, sewer, trash, insurance, pest control and the grounds. The spread may follow unit size, so confirm the dues for the unit you want during escrow.
Charlemont is on the VA Condo Report as Charlemont (ID 007147), Vista Tract 87-8, Accepted Without Conditions as of June 2003. The record lists the tract, not a street, so I have your lender match it to the unit before you write an offer.
With full entitlement there's no down payment and no monthly mortgage insurance. HOA dues count in the payment your lender qualifies you on, so I run the numbers with the dues included before you write an offer.

As first-time homebuyers, he made the VA process look seamless and explained everything to us in great detail. He was working with us from the beginning when we were still overseas in Japan. Being a dual-active military family, I would 100% recommend him. He truly supports and understands the military community and lifestyle, a veteran himself.
