[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sounds like most of your complaints are with Brambleton in particular, which is not representative of most of NoVa.  If you love the "freedom" of TX then why did you buy something in an HOA planned community?[/quote]

Had a house in an HOA in Houston, while not perfect, they were good, pay your dues annually, don't trash your house and they left you alone. By contrast here, the NoVa HOA makes them look like angels. We liked the area, more or less, but from day one the HOA has been up our ass and we have not done anything wrong, never been cited or fined, they are just annoying and always in your business.[/quote]

Meh, that's probably more about the individual HOA than the state where you live.  Our Arlington townhouse HOA is quite hands-off.[/quote]

Yep.  Our California HOA was all up in our business. Happy to not have one in Arlington.[/quote]

yeah, its weird here, they drive around day/night looking for things to cite. Its the management company really, they write up the smallest things and then run back to the HOA board and say "see what we found, you need us!!" type of thing.  And the HOA just goes along with it. In fact the HOA is made up of developers more than residents until we are 80% built out, they control the majority of the votes and they keep developing more and more, thus pushing that 80% benchmark further out!  They focus on low hanging fruit with little or no value vesus going after important things. Trust me, it is not just me, the social blogs are full of people who are complianing about them and the Loudoun County board of supervisors who appear to have sold out to the developers and let them run rampant over owners.[/quote]
