Perhaps because most of the new developments in Orange County are gated communities?
I agree. I’d much rather spend the money on fixing up a house than on HOA in a new master planned community.
Multiple club houses.
Multiple pools.
Multiple jacuzzis.
Multiple tennis courts.
In community trails.
In community landscaping.
In community facilites.
Community intranet access.
potentially your high speed cable.
security people.
etc.
The new communities aren’t really SFRs, they a SFR in the equivalent of a resort complex. You pay the HOA for all the features. In my friends place, that happens to include the salary of the person that stands out in the gatehouses 24×7 to verify whom is driving into the complex and make sure your on the list for entry.

I have seen HOA dues this high in San Marcos area and all you get is landscaping on the parts (not anywhere near your property) no one cares about.
Yep, just another way to continue to suck money out of home buyers.
Ugh I despise planned communities with their overhyped extras and sky high fees! That and snooty rules for living.
I will never buy in one of these places. I would end up in a fist fight with one of the bozo neighbors!
