While house hunting, we quickly dismissed an attractive property upon finding it belonged to an HOA, staying true to our value of independent living rooted in family legacy.
i feel the same, hoas rules always seem like unneeded control. i prefer a home i can tweak myself, even if it takes a bit more work. freedom is worht the extra effort, imo.
I totally get wanting full creative control when it comes to home design. It’s fascinating how many are willing to say no to HOAs for that sense of freedom. How have others found a way to balance aesthetics with independence?
My personal experience with HOAs has shown that while some appreciate the consistency of neighborhood guidelines, the limitations on modifications and the potential for intrusive regulation do not align with my own values. In previous viewings, I was intrigued by the design of certain homes until I realized the restrictions would significantly impact how I planned to maintain and personalize the property. I prioritize a living space that allows freedom and flexible management, ensuring that my home reflects both my heritage and my evolving needs.
