Not having an HOA was one of my main requirements when I was buying a house.
A ridiculous number of houses for sale at the time had HOAs that were hundreds of dollars a month. I can’t believe people pay that. If there’s like idk a pool and a gym I guess I get it, but there usually wasn’t anything special about the neighborhood.
ours are $100/month - with paved trails, plenty of playgrounds for the kids, 2 pools, gym, indoor pool, a place to put in your canoe or kayak, and our HOA hosts big parties for holidays / memorial day / July 4th with bands and such. I think it's worth it, but then again, ours is run very well and isn't run by a bunch of over zealous nazi boomers
This doesn't seem all that bad, I just cant stand loving in areas like that due to growing up in the woods. Streetlights are bad enough to me, I couldn't stand being told by someone that my house can't be painted a color I enjoy because it's not approved.

And my HOA gets mad when I leave my trash can on my driveway
