The first thing you may notice when you turn into Iron Creek is a prominent sign advertising the subdivision's monthly meetings. Homeowner associations, or HOAs, are created by developers in order to strive to keep the community attractive and maintain home values for years to come. Judging from the area itself, the HOA does a reasonably good job. Yards are well maintained, and there are no undesirable, trashy elements found on any of its 52 lots. However, a quick peek at the subdivision's Facebook page shows no new posts since 2012, so it's hard to tell precisely how active it is today. If you're considering a home in an area with an HOA, you'll want to review the development's bylaws carefully to make sure that it doesn't have restrictions that can make your life uncomfortable! There may be restrictions on whether you can run a home business, park an RV or inoperable vehicles, or whether you can install a fence. You should also investigate whether the HOA maintains insurance for common areas, whether they can fine residents for rule violations, and how much the dues can increase annually.
