People who live in an HOA may have a different experience, but if you chose to live somewhere HOA-encumbered, that's on you!


I wonder if there's a map which shows HOA-encumbered property. Anecdotally, when I searched for a large modern home around Seattle in 2020, there was vanishingly little on the market which was not HOA-encumbered, and so the choice was to accept that, or do and/or between: (i) Worse property for the money (space, finishes, lot, et al.); (ii) Worse neighborhood and area (crime stats, et al.); (iii) Worse commute because you're buying much further out.


Yeah or because an insane housing market prices you out of a single family home


You can also own a single family home that's encumbered by HOA restrictions -- many neighborhoods here have HOA's.
