tee hee...

I really like that first blue house. Funny - I'd actually like it better with beige trim!

I am very curious to hear if they are in HOA neighborhoods because that other blue one is quite bright...

It is kind of neat. The brick on the base looks a bit odd, though. IMHO, of course.

NRG,
The first is in Silvercrest @ Silverton (HOA), and the second is in Scottish Hills (No HOA.)

I made it a point not to use the qualifier "all", so I don't find it hard to believe your preference for non-HOA. What I do believe is that many people just want a house that fits their needs and the HOA part of that is an afterthought. Further, I would divide those who don't want an HOA into subsets of people like you and then other people who simply just don't want to pay monthly dues on top of a mortgage payment.

Well, maybe I can make "spinster" fashionable...

Er, not to be off topic or anything...

:-/
Well there is no excuse for that kind of rudeness but on the positive side you got a rep point out of it right?

What I would say on the dating comment is that you just haven't met the right guy who lives with an HOA... if you can't tell, I am one of those people who "will hardly ever" say never
