Generally speaking, yes in regard to the HOA and CCRs.

Why are there so many gated subdivisions? Is property crime that bad?
|
No. Crime is not the reason. Many N. Ga. counties had no zoning regulations of any kind up until a few years ago. So you might build a $500k house and have chicken houses or a run-down trailer next door. The 'gated community' is a way to prevent that from happening. As well as to provide neighborhood pools, tennis courts, etc.

Seems like almost all are on private wells and septics. With a drought, are any wells running dry? And it seems like many of these have lots too small for a septic field AND a well.
|
Yes, we're running out of water like many other places.
Many of the communities have a central, shared water supply, and individual septic systems. Some are now putting in privately-run sewer processing plants (probably so they can sell even smaller lots).

The area seems to be quite overbuilt. Any experience with transaction prices vs. listing prices?
Thanks for your help. We look forward to moving South again.

Pretty soon, the kudzu is going to be hidden by the 'for sale' signs.
Does that answer your question?
