My question would be, "If there is no HOA, who is she going to complain to?"
And who is going to enforce it?
The "neighbor" that the OP contacted WILL obviously "enforce" the "rules". That basically means that "neighbor" will be a real pain to the OP and I would bet that the OP will have many local Police "visits" in their future.. Even if they have no "legal" means, they most likely will be finding all kinds of things to complain to the Police about even if it doesn't "stick" (too loud of music, too big of a party, ect).
No one is twisting the OPs arm to buy the property, right now they (the OP) HAVE a choice in the matter, once they buy the property the NEIGHBOR has made it clear that THEY (the neighbor)are in charge of the neighborhood..
Bad neighbors are permanent, they never leave, they never go away, OP knows upfront they have at least one bad neighbor.
Lots of properties out there that have no restrictions, may require searching a different area further away.
And after about the 3rd baseless call when the Police show up, a request to file harassment charges against the neighbor will put it all to rest.
I agree, I would never live in any development. Especially one with an HOA. But if the property fits the needs, don't let one rotten apple spoil your piece of the apple pie.
P.S. Bad neighbors can be found outside of developments also.
