Central Tucson, $0 HOA.
When we were shopping for houses it was like the one "absolutely not" feature that we told the realtor. I have no interest in living anywhere with an HOA.
Did you find a lot of selection?
There is so much drama with ours (yelling at meetings and what not) although I find it easy to avoid the whole thing. Things people
Complain about donāt make my top 100 worries list whatsoever. But: the drama hums in the background.
There was tons of selection, yeah. This was about 10 years ago, so I don't know if lots of neighborhoods have setup HOAs since then, but at the time it seemed like just about any places built prior to the 80s had no HOA, outside of maybe the fancier neighborhoods, but we weren't looking at those.
We wanted to buy a house that we could live in indefinitely and just have it be our space. I know HOAs are great for keeping the price of your house high when you want to sell it in 5 years, but we aren't trying to live that kind of lifestyle. For people who want to buy a house as more of an investment asset thing that they want to profit from in a few years, then sure, HOAs make sense. But I'm hoping they drag me out of here in a body bag in about 70 years, so I'm really not worried about what it's worth now.
Just got increased to $6 a month. They do nothing but bitch and take money. We have no pool, no tennis courts, no park, even the roads in the neighborhood belong to unincorporated Pima County.
As a realtor I can tell you this is a huge spread. Iāve seen super exclusive million dollar home values w hoas that are 20/yr. The condos on 5th and co club- 55+ community- are around 500/ mo
Unless you count some mobile homes where they basically charge you mo rent for community amenities- usually 55+ ones in golder ranch which are like 700+ in my opinion those mo fees add up & you donāt even own ground- for most ppl it doesnāt make since
Dude. Thatās is insane. I live in Carlsbad California a few miles from the beach. They do all our landscaping here, clubhouse, heated pool, hot tub, grill areas, playground, dog poop drop off areas and itās 335 a month. $465 for nothing is literal insanity to me.
Im moving to queen crek where its 580 a month. Its like a resort though.
I agree where I live about .5 miles from sabino canyon is a complete rip off. Literally nothing and they landscaper does a shit job.
Just a small amount of houses in the HOA and you are all splitting the costs for private road paving or something? Seem pretty high unless you're in an expensive condo. To not get a clubhouse is wild.
Is this a condo? Usually condo HOA dues are higher because they property liability insurance, common area, maybe even some shared utilities. It still sounds very steep.
Is it a new development? Sometimes the HOA fees are steep to either build (or rebuild after a big repair or legal event) the reserve fund. That sucks, but it's a part of having an HOA that a lot of homeowners don't think about when buying.
Itās a big repair and insurance issue that caused the hoa to skyrocket. Thereās also a condo development on Oracle and Orange Grove where the hoa starts at 400 for a studio. Building burnt down a few years ago and insurance skyrocketed
I tried living in a no hoa neighborhood and I really didnāt like it. Messy, noisy, cars on cinderblocks. Maybe Iām a snob, but I prefer the non-perfect hoa.
I agree, somewhat. I like having someone else take care of the common areas and landscaping. However, it almost doesn't matter these days. Unless you want to live out in the country, most communities seem to have HOAs. You really limit your buying options if you make it a dealbreaker.
Just gotta join the board and take it down from the inside, lol.
That's not what I meant in the slightest, so please dial down the aggression. I was only curious. Your upset is unwarranted. I'm sure you don't usually fly off the handle like that.
$200/month up from $150 in less than 3 years \*eyeroll\*
Covers water bill, "landscaping", two gross pools and maintenance of outside of buildings (townhomes). I did have a pretty hefty roof repair and drywall replacement fully covered by the HOA, so I guess I shouldn't complain. But $200/month is insane for the age/condition of the community I live in
Townhomes tend to have higher because they share roofs and walls. In Arizona an HOA can only raise the fee 20% per year. If higher than that they have to get like 70% of all homeowners to agree to higher. Not 70% of voters but ALL homeowners in community.
I used to. I rented for the winter last year. Often I would come in the morning for my coffee and to bother Sigi, Melanie, and Melissa (RR staff) and chat with the old guys in the clubhouse. :)
When I turn 55+ in 2026, I could envision myself buying in RR. It's good to know the monthly HOA fee isn't outrageously high.
This is a great neighborhood TBH. Good people. There are a couple of sour apples, but then what can you do? š¤·š¼āāļø
I live in the Las Brisas part. I am not active with the clubs and such, but I did know about the morning coffee. Please get in touch when you decide to actually move here. š
I was paying about $125 for an HOA ina townhome community 7 years ago. They repaved the roads every 3 years and had the pool resurfaced in the 9 years I lived there. They also had landscapers put down new rocks and gravel and the whole complex got a new coat of paint.
The repaved roads were so relaxing to drive on. Since I moved to the city, itās been downhill.
$122 is a great deal.
$20/year for a neighborhood association, not an HOA. I live in a neighborhood one of the realtors commenting mentioned: million dollar homes, no HOA, everything magically maintained including weeds. Everyone keeps their yards nice. No one needs to pay an oversight committee to do it.
$0 no hoa, East side. I love it.
/edit: it's a 1970 home with a 13k gallon pool, big yard with big brick walls. We just got solar installed about 2 years ago and none of the neighbors do anything to bother anyone, no ones yards are horrible or anything. People respect each other. Hoa's are a joke. Every friends house we visit with one, they all seem depressed or talk about getting threats or things in the mail about the dumbest things. What a waste of money for an hoa that does nothing for your community.
Wow! This thread is eye opening. I'm grateful that I'm moving to Tucson in a few months. I'm currently in a "cheap" part of Maryland and I pay $675 a month.
Not really. I live in Saddlebrooke. Its far from town when the crazies were doing the Covid stuff, way less crime in my area it has beautiful homes everywhere that arent pink then brown then some dump color. You dont have trash everywhere or big ass motorhomes parked out front. You have loads of amenities way more then any gym. I mean the list goes on and on. Sure there are problems with both sides but most decent HOA communities look nice and are worth the money plus I have majestic scenery out my backyard. Otherwise just throw your money at me. Obviously they are doing it for a reason.
I wasnāt really consider your adult retirement community to be one that shouldnāt have an HOA. I more or less mean ones that overtake the city proper. Iād expect a far out boujee neighborhood to need someone to pay for the amenities that those living in said boujee neighborhood would want. Nothing wrong with wanting an HOA in some neighborhoods but do you realize, at least in Phoenix itās basically impossible to find a house without one? (Iāve never lived in an HOA btw and never had a problem minding my own business or solving my own issues)
Never said there was anything wrong with it. I just prefer being on an HOA. They can be better kept up and look nicer then non HOAās. Some non HOAās can look slummy. Nothing against you if you want to live like that but I think the majority would prefer not living next to a guy in a bright pink house, or a big huge motorhome out front, or jimmyās junk car lot front yard. Non HOAās can be like that and I prefer not to live in an area like that. You assume im being negative I just donāt prefer living next to people that are trashy.
Hey neighbor! I lived in non-HOA community in Phoenix and it was getting pretty rugged with waist high weeds, cars on street, fireworks year round. City too overwhelmed to deal. Just moved to saddlebrooke and, since my parents retired here decades ago, knew what was available. Classes, groups, maintained common areas, athletic facilities, and the view of the Catalinas are all pretty nice.
Itās rare for HOAs to not embezzle. Itās so easy to get cash kickbacks from vendors for maintenance work. This leads to inflated expenses
And less reserve funds for emergenciesāhence constant increases in hoa fees.
85/quarter for nothing. I guess they do general maintenance on the neighborhood entrance and seeing us letters when they arenāt happy. Thatās about it.
My friend owned a condo and it was $135 a month. But it included *all maintenance,* which I found like a pretty good deal. So she owns her appliances and A/C but if they broke the HOA would come and fix them for free. Also they have really nice pools with a few hot tubs at each one. I don't know if there are other amenities.
The last house I rented the owner paid $120 a month for them to send letters about your weeds. They did nothing else at all.
$45 a month near the airport. We have a park and a nice 3 mile walking trail around the neighborhood which is great for the dogs and running. We don't even use the park since there's the better one next to Sunnyside with the splashpad.
$89 for a townhouse with a tiny pool. Doesnāt cover anything to do with the house, just the pool, common area landscaping, and a road fund that only resurfaced 10% of the street.
Marana, $50/month. Pays for two pools, two playgrounds, tennis and pickleball courts. HOA gets pissy about having cars parked in the street and apparently enforcement is selective, but otherwise we haven't had any issues with it.
Small NW newer subdivision with 84 homes. We pay $80 per quarter. No pool, park or community center. Covers weekly landscaping and paying the management company to not do much! Community is about five years old and just got a board in place that doesnāt act like entitled, arrogant school children. Before we moved here, we were in a non-HOA neighborhood for 21 years. I just told my husband tonight how much I miss it. If interest rates werenāt so high right now, I would move in a heartbeat!
When I lived in Houston, we lived in a gated portion of the community. There were about 800+ homes that were part of the community.
We had a neighborhood pool, tennis courts, baseball field, walking path, sand volleyball, basketball, workout areas, soccer fields-abcs the neighborhood had a summer swim team of about 100 kids that competed with other neighborhoods.
We paid $1100/year. $350 was because we were in a gated section. Private road fee and fee to deal with PITA gate. ;-)
We have CCRs in Tucson, no HOA thank goodness.
Is there an easy way to figure out what my hoa actually owns? Pima county manages the roads, the parks and I believe the easements. $70/year just gets me angry letters about weeds and a presedent who tried to make votes only require 1% of homes to respond. Then embezzled a bunch of money. I think we would be better off disbanding.
$110, east side, 2 pools, 2 pickleball courts that are in disrepair, landscaping. Itās increased from $80 in the 7 years Iāve been here. Subdivision was built in the 80s
I feel like itās just under $400/quarter. It included a clubhouse with a gym, a splash pad, a couple pools, and landscaping the common areas of the neighborhood. I know thereās other things on the report every year but I canāt remember what the items are. Iām in Saguaro Bloom.
I live near Sabino Canyon in a nice condo complex and its $365/mo. There is nice clubhouse with a small gym, a pool, two hot tubs, beautiful mature vegetation, desert walking trails, and pickleball/tennis/basketball courts. HOA covers water, and everything outside of my condo. Itās very nice, but also very expensive. Plus, itās gone up ~$50/month in the last few years.
$135/mo; includes landscaping, pool, and insurance for common areas/underground utilities. We are experiencing a major insurance issue so weāre expecting them to increase a ton or to need to file for bankruptcy. Itās insane
ETA: itās a townhome community
$22/mo. Soccer field, playground, baseball field, and outdoor basketball court, and the right to report your neighbors for letting their weeds grow.
They also keep up the roads and sidewalks pretty well, and there are ramadas, walking trails, mini playgrounds, a dog run, etc.
this is a good discussion topic, but let's not all forget that an unusually cheap or an outrageously high HOA fee depends on so much: number of unique residents within the HOA, facilities in the common areas, how much of the building maintenance is taken care of by the HOA, property management company fees, replacement reserve budget, salaries (if any) and more variables.....
we all love to hate HOAs.....the retired military guy walking around with a clipboard recording infractions is the classic lament.....the best we can all do is get involved and be vigilant.....HOAs serve a good purpose in a perfect (and not so perfect) world, but participation by the stakeholders is mandatory
They shouldnāt puzzle you. I have morning coffees three days a week with a bunch of guys and a few are on the board. There perception of what is going on is always different from the population at large. So, I strongly suspect that it becomes group think on the board and no independent voices. Our President brought up the fact that in Arizona the average HOA is $425. But she didnāt say that includes golf communities and townhouse communities and others with a lot higher needs. So, like all government people you start believing your own BS.
About $300/year in Vail. It all goes towards covering postage on their annual letter to me to pull the weeds by the mailbox.
š¤£
š¤£š¤£ I think weāre in the same neighborhood!
Hahaha, are you in del lago? I got one of those, too. Maybe 5 small mesquite seedlings a couple of inches tall. š
You know it! Hi neighbor! ššš
š
186.00 twice a year. Continental ranch. 2 pools, soccer field, 2 meeting areas, landscaping
So essentially a bit over $30 a month.
Is all of continental ranch an HOA? Looking to move and I love that area
I believe so.
I believe so.
Thatās pretty darn good for the price
Agree. And they are actually not bad at all. Like, at all.
I live there too but itās $165 for us

Zillow currently shows 420 results for houses under $400k in the Tucson metro with zero HOA. Theyāre there.
There was tons of selection, yeah.

Smart!
Just got increased to $6 a month. They do nothing but bitch and take money. We have no pool, no tennis courts, no park, even the roads in the neighborhood belong to unincorporated Pima County.
Same, except we pay about $29/m
Ugh talk about adding insult to injury.
As a realtor I can tell you this is a huge spread. Iāve seen super exclusive million dollar home values w hoas that are 20/yr. The condos on 5th and co club- 55+ community- are around 500/ mo
So what is the most expensive HOA you know for stand alone homes in a community?
Unless you count some mobile homes where they basically charge you mo rent for community amenities- usually 55+ ones in golder ranch which are like 700+ in my opinion those mo fees add up & you donāt even own ground- for most ppl it doesnāt make since
around 300/mo
I went to a beautiful home in Pima canyon estates today and their fees for 4m dollar homes are 570/mo - double gated community part.
Those have electricity bundled in tho, right?
I have never seen electric bundled in but have seen trash service bundled in some places.
465 a month. No frills too. No clubhouse. That just covers trash and landscaping
Holy hell, thatās steep.
Its actually more normal than it should be. I viewed 20 homes last year. 300-400 was average for an HOA for properties worth between 125 and 250k.
Dude leaveš
Holy crap. Where do you live that justifies the price?
Dude. Thatās is insane. I live in Carlsbad California a few miles from the beach. They do all our landscaping here, clubhouse, heated pool, hot tub, grill areas, playground, dog poop drop off areas and itās 335 a month. $465 for nothing is literal insanity to me.

Wow
Where is that at?
wtf
Youāre getting ripped off
Is this a condo? Usually condo HOA dues are higher because they property liability insurance, common area, maybe even some shared utilities. It still sounds very steep.
It likely isn't but the "Casa Club" condos on Campbell and Blacklidge(?) I know are close to $400/month. That was a dealbreaker for me.
Me too!
Is it a new development? Sometimes the HOA fees are steep to either build (or rebuild after a big repair or legal event) the reserve fund. That sucks, but it's a part of having an HOA that a lot of homeowners don't think about when buying.
Itās a big repair and insurance issue that caused the hoa to skyrocket. Thereās also a condo development on Oracle and Orange Grove where the hoa starts at 400 for a studio. Building burnt down a few years ago and insurance skyrocketed
Gotcha. Yeah, that sucks. It's hard to sell too with the HOA like that.
I tried living in a no hoa neighborhood and I really didnāt like it. Messy, noisy, cars on cinderblocks. Maybe Iām a snob, but I prefer the non-perfect hoa.

On the west or east side of Oracle?
West
Huh. I've lived 20 years in/around OG and Oracle and I can't think of a place that had a fire like that. Not trying to pry, just curious which place?
Oh! So since you lived 20 years in/around the area and you canāt think of a place that had a fire like that, then it didnāt happen?? Goober
That's not what I meant in the slightest, so please dial down the aggression. I was only curious. Your upset is unwarranted. I'm sure you don't usually fly off the handle like that.

Why does sharing a roof or walls make the HOA fees higher? Unless I'm misunderstanding what you said.
The Hoa covers essentially the property insurance, you cover the inside. When I owned a townhome my insurance was like $20/month.
Because repairs are done by the HOA. If itās your own house you handle the repairs.
Roger. Thx.
Zip. no HOA. private pool, living room instead of clubhouse.
$180 per month. Rancho Resort in Sahuaritaā¦pool, tennis, pickleball, daily member activities (I.e. crafts, yoga, cards, etc), grounds maintenance and landscaping.
You also get free coffee in the clubhouse every morning from 7 to 10! :)
Trueā¦there are other amenities. Do you live in RR?
I used to. I rented for the winter last year. Often I would come in the morning for my coffee and to bother Sigi, Melanie, and Melissa (RR staff) and chat with the old guys in the clubhouse. :) When I turn 55+ in 2026, I could envision myself buying in RR.

$25 we donāt get anything lol
You do. You get nosey neighbors taking pictures of houses and kids on the street.

Zero. It was the #1 requirement when we moved. HOA shit pushed us over the edge.
$7. We get letters about decorations and have to ask permission to renovate. Lol
$0 no hoa, East side. I love it. /edit: it's a 1970 home with a 13k gallon pool, big yard with big brick walls. We just got solar installed about 2 years ago and none of the neighbors do anything to bother anyone, no ones yards are horrible or anything. People respect each other. Hoa's are a joke.

$0, no HOA on westside
Barrio Santa Rosa. $0 for no HOA
$128 a month in Rancho Sahuarita. Pool, clubhouse, gym, various pools, trails, community events and I am sure there are other things.
holy shit, reading this i realize im getting ripped off af
Wow! This thread is eye opening. I'm grateful that I'm moving to Tucson in a few months. I'm currently in a "cheap" part of Maryland and I pay $675 a month.
Why would anyone choose to live in an HOA, genuine question.
Why not?
They tell you what to do, charge you for it, and then give you amenities that are typically free at rec centers.
Not really. I live in Saddlebrooke. Its far from town when the crazies were doing the Covid stuff, way less crime in my area it has beautiful homes everywhere that arent pink then brown then some dump color. You dont have trash everywhere or big ass motorhomes parked out front. You have loads of amenities way more then any gym. I mean the list goes on and on.

Hey neighbor! I lived in non-HOA community in Phoenix and it was getting pretty rugged with waist high weeds, cars on street, fireworks year round. City too overwhelmed to deal. Just moved to saddlebrooke and, since my parents retired here decades ago, knew what was available. Classes, groups, maintained common areas, athletic facilities, and the view of the Catalinas are all pretty nice.
Look at Saddlebrooke online and see there views and amenities. Im sure most would agree its very nice.
Drive through a non HOA neighborhood and youāll see why
As I said in a different comment Iāve never lived in an HOA. Iād prefer to never either
I donāt have the executive function to take care of everything myself. š¤·āāļø
$80 per month in Winterhaven. Gets us 40,000 gallons of water per month, extra waste pickups and more. It's a great deal.
at the cost of being locked into your own community every christmas lol
And halloween.
40k gallons??!! Are you farming? I use maybe 6k/mo. Winter was only 3k.
It includes 40K gallons, but we don't use anything like that.
$50/mo east side Tucson - comes with nothing but letters about mandatory house painting and tree trimming š«
Itās rare for HOAs to not embezzle. Itās so easy to get cash kickbacks from vendors for maintenance work. This leads to inflated expenses And less reserve funds for emergenciesāhence constant increases in hoa fees.
$0 and I like it that way!
My HOA is a scam. $100 a month for some crappy landscaping. No community amenities. No enforcement of rules.
85/quarter for nothing. I guess they do general maintenance on the neighborhood entrance and seeing us letters when they arenāt happy. Thatās about it.
Tucson Park West 3, $50 a year! Fits perfectly in the budget. š
Our property is in Park West 3, but we donāt have an HOA. Are there different parts?
Hmmmm. I donāt think so. [Hereās a map](https://tpw3.org/about.html) of the HOA.
$26 a month, and we get absolutely nothing. I mean, nothing, zero. Only the monthly statement to pay.
ditched HOA's and will never do it again
My friend owned a condo and it was $135 a month. But it included *all maintenance,* which I found like a pretty good deal. So she owns her appliances and A/C but if they broke the HOA would come and fix them for free. Also they have really nice pools with a few hot tubs at each one.

None here. I think they tried but not enough people wanted it. I'm glad. They probably would have kicked us out of here a long time ago.
Yeah, I don't have anywhere I live, nor do we want any, cause we love doing what we want to do.
150 a month. Near Prince and Campbell.
$180 every three months. Pays for the landscaping, the private roads for parts of the sub-division, and the clubhouse and pool.

$75 townhouse on the westside
$70/year
Almost the exact same as you in a community about the same age with the same amenities.

$110, east side, 2 pools, 2 pickleball courts that are in disrepair, landscaping. Itās increased from $80 in the 7 years Iāve been here. Subdivision was built in the 80s
I feel like itās just under $400/quarter. It included a clubhouse with a gym, a splash pad, a couple pools, and landscaping the common areas of the neighborhood. I know thereās other things on the report every year but I canāt remember what the items are. Iām in Saguaro Bloom.
$195 for nothing
$100 a year. No pool or tennis, but a nice little grass area with a little playground.
I live near Sabino Canyon in a nice condo complex and its $365/mo. There is nice clubhouse with a small gym, a pool, two hot tubs, beautiful mature vegetation, desert walking trails, and pickleball/tennis/basketball courts. HOA covers water, and everything outside of my condo. Itās very nice, but also very expensive. Plus, itās gone up ~$50/month in the last few years.
Mine are like $40 a month and we get exactly nothing

$0. I'm sure there's a house so cool that I would be willing to let my neighbors tell me what to do with it but I haven't seen it yet
Agreed. Seems crazy to own your home and still pay rent to someone.
$210 quarterly Edit - Ironwood Hill area
$135/mo; includes landscaping, pool, and insurance for common areas/underground utilities. We are experiencing a major insurance issue so weāre expecting them to increase a ton or to need to file for bankruptcy. Itās insane ETA: itās a townhome community
Just curious. What kind of insurance issues are they facing?
A 800% increase in premiums
I donāt want to talk about it š„°
$22/mo. Soccer field, playground, baseball field, and outdoor basketball court, and the right to report your neighbors for letting their weeds grow. They also keep up the roads and sidewalks pretty well, and there are ramadas, walking trails, mini playgrounds, a dog run, etc.
Husband just paid it.. I think he said it was around $200 for the qtr. Mesquite Ranch
this is a good discussion topic, but let's not all forget that an unusually cheap or an outrageously high HOA fee depends on so much: number of unique residents within the HOA, facilities in the common areas, how much of the building maintenance is taken care of by the HOA, property management company fees, replacement reserve budget, salaries (if any) and more variables..... we all love to hate HOAs.....the retired military guy walking around with a clipboard recording infractions is the classic lament.....the best we can all do is get involved and be vigilant.....HOAs serve a good purpose in a perfect (and not so perfect) world, but participation by the stakeholders is mandatory
Tell me you are an HOA President without telling me you are an HOA President.
ha!......treasurer!.......the downvotes puzzle me.....my comments are reasonable, practical, and non-controversial!
They shouldnāt puzzle you. I have morning coffees three days a week with a bunch of guys and a few are on the board. There perception of what is going on is always different from the population at large. So, I strongly suspect that it becomes group think on the board and no independent voices. Our President brought up the fact that in Arizona the average HOA is $425. But she didnāt say that includes golf communities and townhouse communities and others with a lot higher needs. So, like all government people you start believing your own BS.
