Buying A Glenmore Home - The Benefits Of An HOA
Often a buyer will say to me, "I don't want to buy a home in a neighborhood with a homeowners association". Lets think about this for a moment. Is this really a good plan? In some cases it may be, such as if they have a lot of dogs of want to park an rv in the driveway. However there are reasons why purchasing a home in a neighborhood with an HOA can be a very good idea.
Property owners associations are designed to manage, regulate and control a subdivision and its common areas. The association is governed by the covenants and deed restrictions for the community. You might say that you don't want anyone else to have control over what you do with your property, and I can see how you might say that. At the same time a homeowners association protects property values and I am sure that maintaining that value is important to the buyer of a Glenmore home. The architectural review board makes sure that you won't be living next door to a pink house for example. Even more important the board will ensure that a structure will not be constructed that is not in keepingwith the neighborhood. Think of the HOA board as "quality control" for the community. The board will make sure that the common areas are kept up and they will ensure that there is not a yard on the street that is an eyesore. These things are important if you do not own enough land to ensure your privacy from your neighbors.
When you are buying a Glenmore home you can take comfort from the fact that Glenmore has an active property owners association. In fact the Glenmore cottages even have their own association; so you could belong to the Glenmore homeowners association and to the Bremerton cottages association. The ongoing beauty of this community shows the benefit of a good homeowners association.
