H B | If given a choice,would you or would you not live in a homeowner association? |

If given the choice I would choose to live in a community with no association. They seem nice on paper... they set rules that keep the houses uniform and the neighbors in tow... the problem is that they are usually the passion and toy of one or two headstrong members and at some point in your life they are going to take offense at something that you want to do... you never know what could get someone ready to get up in your business, so the best way is to live in an environment where you are respectful of others but they can't tell you not to install a Jacuzzi or not to paint your house green... this is America you know. |

I live in a subdivision that does not have a covenant, but was designed to. I appreciate the freedom that not having one affords us. The people who live here are very responsible, but we don't know each other.
That is the only thing we're missing - community. |

We used to live in one. They NEVER enforced any of the covenants. The negative results soon showed, if you know what I mean. When the newsletter circulated monthly, there were more negative points made instead of positive ones. The association's price continued to increase each year, despite the above issues.
We moved out of the neighborhood and to another state (job transfer) for 13 months. Recently we moved back and did not choose to reside in the same neighborhood as the association. Instead, we chose to live on 2 1/2 acres, let our dog out to run when we want, mow when we want and don't have to worry about whether or not we're living within the "covenants" or not. I would not choose a H/O Association, it's not "living" in our opinion. |

Depends on whether or not I have the disposable income for the fees. Also, I would check out their by-laws first to see what you would be agreeing to. Also, talk to some long-standing board members to get a feel for how picky they are enforcing their rules. |

I would NEVER again live in a place with an association. I had a condo in Ca when the last big earthquake hit. It was a total nightmare. I cant go into full detail but it involved law suits and insurance companies. I ended up selling the place and after that five years later all of the current homeowners in the building ended up with the money that was supposed to be mine from the settlement. Long story short it is ok for someone that wants to have neighbors property policed but not ok if there is a major disaster. |

My ex was complaining about the HOA dues, so I took her for a drive. I pointed to a house with chipping paint, a rusted chain link fence, and a car on blocks in the unmowed yard, and asked her "what do you think of that place?".
She said "they should have a great HOA like ours". |

After reading Bently Little's The Association, I'd have to say no.Just the thought of someone or someone's having a say on how high my lawn should be or what color my house should be painted makes my very uncomfortable. Not that I would be a nasty troublesome neighbor. But I like the option.
BTW: read The Association before you do anything...frighting, but in a good way |

I would not.
Too much restriction -- you cannot do this, you cannot do that even though it is your own property.
Fencing? You need the approval of the HOA from the height, color and distance of the fences. Dreaming of a white picket fence -- sorry, HOA rules state you can only use wood that is naturally colored. Plus, the neighbors have to sign first. Even if their covenant says 4-6 feet is allowed, if the HOA is only approving 4 feet now, it will take you a long time to get approved for your 6 feet fence
Building a swing set for the kids? The HOA must approve the design of the swing set first
Need to add a sunroom? That would take about 3 months of haggling and negotiating with the HOA, going back and forth on the design. Worse, if your neighbor opposes your construction and files a notice of dissent to the HOA.
Cutting shrubs and trees? The trees have to be dead and must be less than 4 diameters; otherwise you need permission to clear your yard
If given the choice, I will not live in a homeowner association. It's your property, and you can't even have the freedom to do what you want to do with it. Too much rules that it can really cramp the kind of way you want to live your life. |

Most definitely yes! It may seem like an infringement upon your personal freedoms, but they really do keep up your property values. Imagine that the day you put your house on the market, your next door neighbor decides that he wants to paint his house a vivid pink? Well that won't be nearly as likely to happen in a neighborhood with an HOA, as well as unkept lawns, exterior maintenance, and strange expressions of individualities. I think HOA's should be kept in check, but they are definitely a good thing! |
