Finding out about HOAs

[ChrisHayes]

I've targeted a neighborhood for where I'd like to buy my next house at the intersection of SW 149th and Western. I know it's an HOA community, so I'm wondering what kind of rules they have in place. What is the best way to find out about an HOA and the rules they have in place?

do a google search for the subdivision name. the developer probably has a website with all the bylaws.

[ChrisHayes]

Unfortunately, I don't think it has a name. There was a house for sale up until a couple days ago, and it was built back in 2001, so it's an established neighborhood, so I don't know of the developer. The neighborhood is at the SW corner of 149th/Western. One of the few neighborhoods with houses that have siding instead of brick. My main draw to it is the size of the back yards.

You really should be able to contact Neighborhood Alliance to get some info. Usually they are tight with all neighborhood associations and HOAs and often they have a copy of the bylaws and a POC.

If you are talking about the subdivision at 156th and Western it is called Wildflower and was originally developed by Ideal Homes.

IDEAL will no longer be associated with the HOA at this point though.

It's called Stonegate Manor. Here is their website with bylaws and fees ($125/mo.):

The section with the siding house may be a separate HOA but you could ask the SM president and I'm sure he or she will know.

Stonegate is on the SE corner.... But they may still be able to give some info on Wildflower

If you are talking about the subdivision at 154th and Western it is called Wildflower and was originally developed by Ideal Homes.

IDEAL will no longer be associated with the HOA at this point though.

if the house was built in 2001 and near the southwest corner, i think this is the correct answer. stonegate (while closer to 149th & western) is newer.

here's wildflower's facebook group. it seems pretty active, so i'll bet somebody could help out here...

Thanks for the correction.

This is the company that manages the Wildflower HOA:

isn't stonegate the newer neighborhood going in where villa theresa used to be? i thought the southeast corner is called stone meadows.

edit: i looked it up... and, nope. stonegate manor is on the se side of the intersection. can't think of the other neighborhood's name that's just north of wildflower.

There is a Stone Meadows on 149th.

Featherstone is the other subdivision by Wildflower.

Featherstone is the other subdivision by Wildflower.

yeah... that's it

[T. Jamison]

Restrictive covenants are recorded in the county clerks office. If that house was built in 2001, I think it is in Wildflower Section 1 and the restrictive covenants are recorded in Cleveland County Book 3214, page 1269.

[Pete]

That's some serious information thrown down in this thread.

I'm just curious, would a Realtor be able to get that info for you?

for sure... but my impression was that the op wasn't working with a realtor yet.

No, I'm not working with a realtor. It might be a year or two, maybe more before I move. I'm just interested in the neighborhood. There are a lot of neighborhoods around the city that I like, but with a house that I would stay in for a long time, I want a decent size back yard. One where I've got room to put a pool in, as well as a comfortable price range for the house.

You can call any title company and give them subdivision or address and they'll have most, if not all, hoa docs for any neighborhood in the metro.
