Well, the advice I'm inclined to give, "move the h*** out of a neighborhood

Oh! I so agree. I had no idea what an HOA was before I moved into my
house. Dirty bastids!

Even if you don't have a HOA, there are deed restrictions put in place
by the original developer and the city. I am fortunate that my
development has no HOA, but if my neighbors wanted to they could call
the town and insist I remove a lot of the native plants out front
which look rangy for a period in the summer.
