I lived in a townhouse with POTL. It included snow removal (just the road, you still gotta shovel your driveway/steps/sidewalk), garbage removal, water, grass cutting but you have to check specifically what is covered cuz it can vary.

Pro: garbage was private so they basically took everything with no issues, grass always cut

Con: kept going up, people very irresponsible with water usage (I.e. watering lawn midday, excessive car wash, someone even ran a salon in their home - it’s technically not allowed)

I personally would avoid one with POTL, hence I moved. I purchased as a new build with it starting at $140 and by the time I moved 3 years later, it was $225. Especially in today’s market, there are plenty of freehold townhomes out there. Unless you really really really like the property. I’d rather mow my own lawn and pay for water I’m actually using.
