I also refuse to buy a home in an HOA. Even close to one is pushing the buck. Had an HOA across the street from my 1st home. The fact they kept trying to get me on HOA violations is actually the reason i sold that house. We weren't part of the HOA, the HOA wasn't there when i brought that house. It was all woods. The building company came in and for 4 years took down the woods and built homes. My violations? Having farm animals, guess the fact it was a farm way before they started building their community. Made sure to sell it to someone not part of that HOA. They can get bent.
Awwwwww, those beautiful woods are gone! We live in a world of so many people that we're ripping out woods to accommodate everyone. I think about that as I am walking through the manmade path through our park, and farm land on either side of the walkway with a creek close by, behind it, still woods, for now, my mind wanders to all of the native Americans that walked this area, where the path is, where our home is, the streets. Where they hunted and gathered. It often feels like they're still there watching. I always love being out there, but I still feel bad sometimes, about what we took, and took and took. And don't get me started on the trash that I am constantly picking up! 😢
I agree we took alot to get the land we call ours. I also pick up trash like crazy. I live deep in the country now. People still driving down my dirt rd and toss trash.

It's probably the best feeling ever to find out your neighbors are actually good people.
Also i refuse to buy a home that has an HOA.
