As for the whole 'I love HOA's' and 'I hate HOA's' debate, HOA's DO have their place, and in the vast majority of cases, homeowners realize the upside when they sell their homes. As a Realtor, the only way I would not embrace the benefits of a well-run HOA is if I decided I wanted to live in the middle of 10 acres, preferably with not a neighbor in sight. However, in a development as such, I would almost always view the HOA as a definite plus. When it comes time for me to sell, I don't want the 6 cars in my neighbors front yard, the 12" tall grass, the refrigerator on the front porch, or his dilapidated storage shed to have a bearing on the value of my home.
