    What? This is completely wrong. HOAs do not maintain your home for you, that’s wild that you think that’s the reason for HOAs. I live in an HOA and they don’t do anything besides make sure everyone’s house is presentable (like no missing fence pickets) and upkeep the HOA center + pool.

      It’s for the opposite of what that person said. It’s for the people who also want their neighbors to maintain their property. Whether that’s through hiring contractors or doing it themselves.

        many towns pretty much require builders to make them so they don’t have to pay for the local infrastructure like roads and fire hydrants and they can require flood management and such.

      There are some that do, but usually they’re retirement communities. Your HOA dues pay for lawncare and clearing snow.
