[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You can live anywhere.  Choose a house with a larger back yard and smaller front.  Just do your edible garden in the back yard. [/quote]

Do you feel confident most HOAs will permit back yard edible gardens?  Will they approve us cutting down several trees to increase the sunlight reaching the backyard?  [b]I'm not familiar with HOAs and felt intimidated when I saw that Burke residents need board approval just to put up a basketball hoop, cut down a tree, or paint a fence.  [/b]

Can anyone with direct experience speak to the likelihood of having unique improvement plans approved in a Fairfax County HOA?[/quote]

It sounds like you are looking at Burke Centre, which does have restrictive HOA rules such as you have described here. Most of just plain Burke, other than the Lake Braddock neighborhood, does not have such rules and you can do what you like with your own property.

Lots of people in Burke have edible gardens, mostly in the back yard, but I have seen a few that have fruit trees, squash, pumpkins, tomatoes, and/or corn in the front yards, so it is definitely not unheard of. Burke is a really nice family-friendly community and it would certainly be nice for your wife to have such a short commute!

Good luck to you in finding a great place for your family!
