Acacia Crossing

This is THE WORST home owners association I have EVER had the displeasure of dealing with. They do absolutely NOTHING for the homeowner besides harass and require unnecessary maintenance to the houses (at the owner’s expense). The whole purpose of a real HOA is to promote the health, happiness and peace of mind of the community. However, Acacia Crossing HOA is missing the mark and it’s hurting the community. They’re so bad that one of the neighbors actually went through the trouble to get a sticker for their vehicle saying, «My HOA sucks»!
The policies are not consistently enforced. They seem to think they can constantly harrass certain residents for parking on the public roads while allowing other residents to park wherever they like, even if where they’re parking is a hazard. They think they own the roads and can fine people for parking on public property, yet when there’s a road issue, it’s the city of Buckeye/​the Buckeye police department that the homeowner would need to contact to get the issue fixed. FYI — The only vehicles Maricopa county prohibits from parking on public residental roads are semi’s, RV’s and buses.
This HOA will creep to your house in the middle of the night to take a picture of a weed in the yard then send you the picture along with a harrassing letter. They require the home owner to have a certain amount of plants in their yard, yet don’t provide any sort of neighborhood landscaping service. If one of the tree branches breaks, it’s not the HOA who will come out to correct the issue, the home owner will need to call out a service to take care of the issue. If the homeowner decides they’d like to be environmentally conscience and save water by replacing their lawn with artificial lawn, they will need to get the HOA’s approval to make changes to the property they own. If the homeowner doesn’t get approval, they receive a fine.
This HOA will decide they no longer like the color of the neighborhood then force the home owner to pay for painters to come out and paint HOA approved colors on the houses. Any sort of home additions or driveway extentions will need to approved by the HOA, despite the fact that the homeowner pays the mortgage on the property and would have go to the city of Buckeye to obtain approval/​permits.
My husband and I moved out of this neighborhood due, in part, to the HOA’s constant harassment. If you’re moving to a neighborhood with Acacia Crossing as the HOA, reconsider, if you’re able to. There are other communities who actually care about the resident– where you can actually live peacefully.
