Anyone with an explanation as to why a 1 bedroom at Orange Lake North Village in Orlando would have the same maintenance fee as a 2 bedroom in the same place?

What is the source of your information?

If you are looking at something like ebay Ads, be aware that they often have the wrong info.

Looking at a transfer company out of Texas that does resales of sort. They charge $1 when they want to clear something out. They are called Legacy Adventures Inc.

They have a 1 bedroom that shows the maintenance fee bill of $770 and about $93 in taxes. I almost bought 2 other the past year (both went to ROFR) where the 2 bed mf were almost identical.

I called OL but got the run around.

A few in S and VA, a single resort in NC, MD, PA, and UT, plus Jamaica and the Bahamas
Some resorts for whatever reason decided, when building and creating the timeshare offering, that MF's would be a flat rate regardless of size. It is written into the CC &R's and require a super majority or such to change. It takes more than a simple board vote. An organization like Holiday Inn Vacation Club that controls the vote of all the HICV members probably could get it changed but there are still a lot of deeded owners not in HICV at Orange Lake.

In addition to Orange Lake East Village, I also own one in NC and one in SC that also does this.
