We are about to submit an offer on a house in Belterra. We love the house and really like the area. I've heard horror stories about propane bills several years ago but I've also heard those issues were largely resolved (45 day cycles at high rates, etc.). I'm also curious about owners thoughts about the water costs as well.

Any people that live there able to give any insights? As part of the option period I'll pull a year's utility info from the owners.

Do you have a choice to NOT use propane at this house if that's a concern?

I'm in Belterra and haven't had the horror stories we found on google before moving in. My neighbors also say they haven't had the insane bills.

It's not nearly as cheap as natural gas, but we maxed out at maybe $200 during the coldest winter month. We keep our thermostat at like 66-67 when on heat.

Before we moved in it seemed the newest complaint we could find was from 2015 or so, but we never found anything about a resolution to the root issue. The complaints just seemed to stop.

Feel free to reach out to me via email if you'd like any additional details. For what it's worth we really love it in this neighborhood.

Got a year's worth of utility bills on the house and there wasn't ever a crazy bill. More expensive than natural gas, yes but not like the $500-800 posts online.

I live there and once back in 2015 or something I had a $400 bill however part of that was a result of an adjustment in the billing cycle that extended the period to ~40 days. Its more expensive for sure but not the end of the world that many make it out to be. Its a great community with good schools and the new retail center has been a nice addition.

We've lived out here since 2014. No crazy propane bills. My wife sometimes run the thermostat warm (72-73) in the winter, so we expected the $300 bill.

Great neighborhood out here, let me know if you want to get a beer when you get settled in.

To downtown?

Depends on when you leave the house. The Y is the only rough patch, but you can always go 1826 to 45 to Mopac once they finish the Lacrosse overpass.
