What are the Pros and Cons to No HOAs?
HOAs are a double edge sword. On one hand, they keep the neighborhood with some baseline standards. Typically no cars on blocks are allowed, grass can’t be two feet high, garbage can’t be all over the yard, etc. Most people would agree those are reasonable rules. The problem starts when HOAs get nit picky about things like not pulling up your garbage cans right after the garbage company picks up or you unloaded a kayak and left it on your driveway for an hour while it dried out and you get fined. That starts to annoy people.
But, what most people don’t realize is if there are no HOAs, there is no one to tell your neighbor to cut their grass or remove the old clunker that’s been sitting in the driveway for months causing an eye sore. So, if you don’t want an HOA because you don’t want restrictions, know your neighbors won’t have any either. And their tolerance for what looks good in front of their house might be different than yours.
If you say you don’t care what your neighbors property looks like as long as you don’t have rules governing how you use your property, then a neighborhood without an HOA might be right for you. I would encourage you to drive around the neighborhood you’re considering at all times of the day and night and see how residents are conducting themselves. That will give you a good indication of how it is going to go when you live there. Again, no guarantees that untidy people won’t move in next door. But, you’ll at least have a better sense for what the area is like today.
