Hello - does anyone know if any of the active adult/55+ communities in the triangle area allow a resident to fence their back yard? I have a dog who needs actual fencing.
Thanks for any information.

Would probably be best to contact the HOA of the communities you're looking at, or get a hold of the covenants. I wouldn't trust any info you get on an internet board.

Generally, you can in most 55+.
Of course, there will be restrictions on the style and height of fence.
HOA approval will be mandatory.

You also might confirm that the landscapers will come inside your fence for mowing and maintenance.

Both Carolina Arbors and Carolina Preserve allow fencing but it must be black iron....easily seen in many yards in both communities. The other caveat is that once fenced, you must maintain your own grass within the fence.

LOL. I thought I had posted this question but was not adept enough to be able to find the post. It has been a few years...
I would of course check any HOA restrictions/guidelines for verification.
I am glad to hear that they are allowed. I need to get started on my move back to the Durham area. Seems like one of these communities are a good way to get to meet new friends.
Thanks, all!

EXACTLY.

Here's a couple of images that show what most 55+ (and some other HOA's) allow. If you have a small dog, you can add short pieces to the bottom to make the opening smaller. If you have a jumper, the height allowed may be inadequate. You will need a gate to allow landscaping workers to do your yard (and some communities simply exclude a fenced yard from maintenance so it becomes DIY). These fences are NOT cheap.

Not anymore. At least, not in CA. You are required to install a gate.
