Oh yes it does. I’ve owned property there before and neighbors did all sorts of whacky things to the outsides of their homes.
There are CC&Rs there but they are completely unenforceable. As long as you meet city code, you can get a city permit and do anything you want including paint your house flourescent pink. Already, people have filled their front yard with Greek statues, painted their garage door three different colors and cemented their front yard.
Need proof? Drive by these addresses:
718 Via Cafetal
535 Calle Capistrano
736 Avenida Abeja
I’ve lived both with and without HOA and I’ve decided I like with HOA better. Not so much because I like being told what I can do with my house, but because I like there to be at least some oversight on what my neighbors do. Your mileage may vary.
[quote=niy38][quote=svelte][quote=fredo4]Good idea asianautica, except I don’t think most HOAs take kindly to that type of thing. Any tract areas w/out HOAs?[/quote]
If you look close, you can find’em. The only one I know of off the top of my head is Santa Fe Hills in San Marcos, but I’m sure there are others…how new does the house have to be?[/quote]
No HOA fee in Santa Fe Hills, but it doesn’t mean
you can paint any color on your house and add
something whatever you like.
