They can go both ways. I imagine you try to find out as much as you can before moving in and pray everyone stays rational.

In the UK don't you have city councils that can potentially go tyrant?

I know elsewhere on Europe there are colletives and communes. Sometimes it is a development area, or just a building.

I have no issues paying a smaller fee.

However, some of the prices that NYC HOA's charge ($900+/mo) make it absolutely pointless to buy.

lol thats bizarre, i see some benefits of it but it sounds almost a affront to private property. Its my property, its not anyone elses business how i keep it unless im just dumping my garbage or crap in your front garden or whatever.

I dont see how a HOA would greatly effect house prices either, even chitty houses in my block with unkept lawns sell for like £300k so it just sounds like some bs more destructive version of neighbourhood watch to me.

I fuking hate rules. My house, my rules. It's bad enough I gotta pay property taxes. My town is slowly trying to vote (HOA) rules. It's a small town in the middle of a huge county (1.6 million people in county).

Yes but what happens if your neighbor turns into a drug addict? Or maybe their schithead kid inherits? This is just a random google search. But if you don't have an HOA your next door neighbors front yard can literally look like the below. Imaging signing a 30 year mortage on a nice home. Only for a few years end to end up with a neighbor like the below and now you can't sell your house unless you take a massive loss.

^^^i’d say this

There are some other practical reasons but the only reason you’d go beyond the bare necessities of sinking funds for common infrastructure is: You can’t afford your own gated property in a good area so you have to live in medium density housing and this makes you feel better about your lack of wealth

I find it useful as a landlord owning an entire complex because I can prevent pets etc but as live-in owners it’s just poverty

HOA’s are the absolute worst. It sucks that there only seems to be HOA neighborhoods in my city.

The only way I'd buy a home in a neighborhood without an HOA is if every single homeowner there is a millionaire and hires professional lawn crews/landscapers.


Advantages of a HOA:

- Everyone has neatly manicured lawns/landscaping. Houses are kept up. You don't have to drive through your neighborhood looking at sloppy/run down homes/yards.
- Everyone in the neighborhood is either a neat/organized person that takes care of their property. Or they can afford to pay someone to take care of it.
- Keeps drug addicts, degenerates and in general really poor people out of the neighborhood.
- Everything is peaceful. No loud parties. No broken down cars in roadway/driveways. Etc.
- Keeps common grounds and neighborhood field/pond/park well maintained.
- Preserves your property value.
This. To be honest, 90% of the time I see someone complain about a HOA....they're the one in the wrong.
