Is a San Diego Neighborhood with an HOA for me?

Posted by Paul Caparas on Tuesday, August 10th, 2010 at 4:47pm.

Buying a home that has a HOA definitely has its Pro's and Con's. So I will list some of them and hopefully it will help you decide on what you want.

Here are some Pro's:

Keeps the neighborhood clean

Keeps the homes a neutral color so there won't be any purple homes in the neighborhood

Keeps all the Homeowners to maintain the curb appeal of their homes


Here are some Con's:

HOA Fee

HOA Fee can be raised

For some changes to the home or landscaping, you may need HOA to approve it


If you are wondering which one I prefer, I actually want a HOA if the fee is lower than $150. I met many buyers who hate it and met many who want it. It is really what you prefer. If you have any questions, please let me know.

***Please keep in mind, all HOA's are different.
