i've found the more you pay HOA wise, the nicer and more kept the neighborhood, w/ that said i wish our fee's were more.

I agree on the HOA.

In a perfect world you wouldn't need one, however, without one many neighborhoods would look like shit.

What are your fees?

What's "normal" in your area?

$550/yr is our fee, not sure whats normal.

but all the nicer hood's i know of are $850+

You are not gated though, right?

Around here the decent 'hoods seem to run about $500-1000/year nongated and $100-$350/mo gated.

no gates normal 'hood.

my parents was gated at 1 time and it was like $1100/yr, now it's still $1100 and their's a sec. officer, but he's not allowed to stop people.

some would consider ours normal, but i'd like stricter enforcement. but it's not gonna happen.

and it takes a LOOOONG time to go after somebody's house. its not as easy as people make it seem.

There's a house around the corner getting built that's got 3 attached, and a second attached 4 bay garage, nice! A guy up the street built a sweet second garage, It's the size of a small house.

If you don't pay they put a lien on your house. I don't have any problems with it though because I maintain my shit and keep it looking nice.

Same here....and I CHOSE to live in that kind of neighborhood so there WOULDN'T be cars on blocks.

I'm also on the Architectural Review Committee to approve/prevent stuff like that.

I know many people get their panties in a wad when you mention an HOA or an ARC and swear they’d never live in a neighborhood that has such strict “rules”…but being America fortunately for them they don’t HAVE to. As for me…I prefer it.

down to 2 cars and 2 bikes..but have a 3 car garage so I’m good

Looking good, Troy!

Is that the old kitchen, or custom "garage" cabinets?

[RACER X]

i would prefer not to see cars in the driveway also.

We have rules, but as of now no fee's. I got a letter for parking my truck on the street a couple summers ago. And Caster it never sits on blocks, unless I'm working on it
