Would you be willing to live in a HOA neighborhood?

It looks like it may come to this.

I cannot, for the life of me, find a decent house near Houston (as far away from the city as possible) that isn't part of a HOA, and doesn't have neighbors that look like Sanford and Son.

Not under any circumstance.

I hate living in a HOA neighborhood... My next door neighbor is a dick and reports us for everything he can because he does not like the fact that my 4 kids are, as kids are prone to be, loud when they play outside.

No. Hell no. No Freaking Way.

Among other things I will be putting up antennas, towers and related items on MY property.

If people want to live in quasi-Stepford cookie cutter houses presided over by frustrated Gauleiter wanna-be losers that tend (in my, limited, experience) to make up the more obnoxious enforcers of The Glorious HOA Rules, that's their problem.

I choose not spend my hard earned money buying into constant harrasment and ill feelings by people who's lives center around edging their lawns with nail clippers.

Both sides are happier that way.

I did see someone on arfcom mention the one way to do it. Guy had 40 acres up against the HOA development, so he bought about three lots that were adjacent to his acreage, That way he could vote in the HOA but his house and 40 acres werent covered by it.

Once again, I'm reminded why I fit in here.

If I have any choice in the matter, certainly not.

Not sure any of you would survive living in an apartment. :p

Ideally I'd prefer to avoid one, but in my search it looks like *everything* that isn't a hillbilly shack or a multi-million dollar landed estate is part of a named subdivision with some kind of HOA.

I once had to see my first sergeant for an issue relating to this. We had a nosy neighbor, and I left a sign in out back yard that read:

"If I see you peeking over my fence again, I will brain you with a hammer"

Apparently "We don't do that"
