I posted last week about downsizing into a townhome. Got confirmation today. I’ve been accepted by the HOA. I am ready to close at a moment notice and start the remodeling process. I am so excited to never ever worry about a sprinkler system a pool or weeds in the grass ever again it’s not my job anymore.🤣🤣🤣😊😊😊

Thoughts after comments, first of all thank you to all the kind comments and congratulations. Greatly appreciated. I made this decision purposely I want to live in a neighborhood where people tend to keep their property up and maintain a safe cohesive community. Not all HOA‘s are Nazi community trolls that we see on Instagram.

After my husband died, I moved to a new home for a new start closer to my kids. I have loved this home for 13 years. I’ve been creating the most perfect nest to spend the rest of my days. Now maintenance outdoors has driven me insane between the lawn, the sprinklers, the constant landscape upkeep, and the pool. I am done with all this stress. On top of that my city has had a construction boom of apartment buildings. They will have an additional 5000 apartment units with 9 story towers all around my community.. So I have decided to move. I’m excited yet scared to death. In the end, it’ll be perfect, but just thinking about moving and settling in is scary. I’m going from a single-family home to what we call a coach home. I will enter through the first floor foyer or 2 car garage and living space is all on the second floor. There’s elevator in the unit. It’s a beautiful end unit. There’s only four units per building and it’s lushly landscape gated community and I’d never have to worry about the outdoor maintenance.

I know many of you have already made this decision, any recommendations or suggestions. I haven’t lived in a multi family community in 40 years.

Looking for recommendations or advice on this community. Thinking of purchasing here.

I 68f have finally found my voice. I went to a HO meeting last night and there was a gentleman I use that term used loosely who kept interrupting the speakers. He kept interrupting board members who was telling them what was legal what was not legal we. There was representation from our management company there which he interrupted them and told them what they should do and what they were required to do legally. He was obnoxious after the meeting I was waiting to speak to one of the board members he kept talking and talking he turned around and started to talk in my face and tell me what I shouldn’t shouldn’t do, and I just looked at him and said you are loud overbearing you talk over people and you’re rude. I don’t want to hear anything you have to say. I was very calm. I looked him straight in the face and walked away. Was that rude? I feel like I finally found my voice.
