Rolling Forks HOA (Houston, Howe: for sale, insurance, crime)

[busyblond]

So, I have placed an option on a townhouse in the Rolling Forks subdivision. I've never lived in a neighborhood with an HOA. I have 12 days to do all the research I can and decide if I want to go ahead with the sale or bale. Does anyone live in this neighborhood that can give me feedback on the HOA? Thanks in advance.

I've never heard of it. You should check social media especially Nextdoor and type in the zip code. Nextdoor is free. You should also consult homes for sale in that area and find out about the HOA. An important point is making sure this area didn't flood. Call your home insurance agent and have him check any claims for that address. I'd also check safety and crime in that area.

As we live in an adjacent neighborhood, I can't comment on the Rolling Fork HOA per se. My kids swam on the RF swim team when they were younger and there was a positive community feel, and RF is home to a number of teachers at our school (Awty) who in turn keep recommending it to new hires moving to Houston. The neighborhood itself seems well tended and I haven't noticed any HOA bitterness on the wider Nextdoor community. However, I would only be privy if a RF resident aired grievances to nearby neighborhoods as well.

During our tenure (fourteen years and counting) I haven't heard of any homes flooding in either our neighborhood or Rolling Fork.

Do a search in the Houston forum for posts on Rolling Fork. There were a couple of past posters moving there, who you could PM directly with questions. Many posters stop reading CD once they've made a move but you can still reach their linked email. Good luck!

Thank you for the information. I do know that the property did not flood during Harvey, so there's that. I've never had to deal with an HOA, so I'm just a little concerned. LOL I'll keep digging around to see what I find.
