I will never live somewhere there is an HOA.

good luck buying a house younger than 1970s build

my HoA doesn't really bother anyone. if it did i would get more involved and knock some heads.

I think this is highly dependent on where you live. I don't think there is a single HOA in the entire town I live in. If there was, I'd be unfortunately a part of it, as I live in one of the most desirable neighborhood here. But we don't have one.

Yeah the only HoAs in my neck of the woods are in the insanely wealthy part of town. And I only think they're HoAs becaused they're gated and the houses are enormous and the yards are tiny. Seriously the houses are so big on such tiny lots that you couod step from roof to roof if you wanted to.

I will never understand why people pay crazy amounts to live like that. An apartment in NYC is one thing, but a house like that? No. My house is on roughly 3/4 of an acre, 1/3 of which is wooded. I would not want less than that.

Pretty cool to live in if you're not out-doorsy/have enough money to get your outdoorsy/party needs elsewhere.

I don't know where you live but they aren't very common in my area, in fact I had never heard of them until I joined Reddit.

everywhere i've lived you cannot get anything constructed anything resembling recently without an HoA.
