So don't buy where there's HOA, Condo Boards or Historical Districts. That leaves you with a lot of options.


That pretty much eliminates a lot of the big cities in the US, and a fair amount of the suburbs and smaller cities. Basically, anywhere where you'd be living in a building and not a single-family home. (Though a lot of single-family homes are coming under the purview of various associations and societies these days).

HOAs are a plague on humanity, but they're very hard to avoid in many circumstances.


Agreed. I like the idea of disallowing pig farms, rooster farms, dog breeding, etc. But much beyond that, no thanks.


That's getting harder and harder to do in many places. If you like the neighborhood and the house, sometimes you just have to suck it up.

On the plus side, single family homes tend to have far less restrictive HOAs than condos.
