Not all condo fees are super expensive on the Dutch side. It all depends on the amenities included with the condo. One factor to take into consideration is if the property will appreciate in value or not. Dutch side beats French side on this easily. Language and ease to understand documents is also a factor in my opinion. Furthermore eviction laws are much speedier on the Dutch side than on the French side where if you enter into a long term agreement if you have a problem with your tenants it might take years to evict them. Dutch side basically zero property tax, zero garbage collection tax (not right ). My skewed opinion as I have been living on the Dutch side for 37years and counting......
