Whaler’s Cove Town Homes217 Richardson St. is one of three Whaler’s Cove town homes (formally condominiums) that are self-managed by the residents. A monthly fee of $550 pays for building insurance, building and roof maintenance, landscaping, water, garbage collection, window washing, and management expenses including minimal accounting services and legal fees. Special projects are financed as needed by agreement of the owners. For example, roofing was replaced in 2015, with each unit contributing an equal share.
