[QUOTE="Danny Tanner, post: 1469356, member: 10619"] We were serious about another house until the realtor stated that the HOA fees cover lawn maintenance, front and back. Part of the excitement of owning a home, for us anyway, is the responsibility of taking care of it. Plus, we don't want a group of dudes waltzing around our backyard every Saturday morning. Another reason of many we bought a house is for the privacy. Here, though, our HOA fees are only $249/year. They take good care of the entrances and green belts. We have a neighborhood pool which is a fantastic pool with lifeguards on duty at all times. They offer kids swimming lessons there, they hold annual "Meet Your Neighbors" parties there with live bands, food, and prizes. They do Easter egg hunts and Santa Claus visits, too. They have a somewhat active Facebook page where people can comment on this and that. The board members will also post what the monthly meetings are going to cover. Our president is a pretty cool dude, too. He loves to talk Cubs baseball and he's always out at the pool with an ice chest of Miller Lite. We were worried about moving into a HOA neighborhood, but so far after almost 2 years we've yet to have any issues with them. It's only been a short time, but so far all of the horror stories have been proven false for us, though I'm not doubting them for other neighborhoods. [/QUOTE]
