The house is fine and the issues I had seem to be resolved but the Hawthorne community HOA is really too restrictive, even doing outside landscaping like planting flowers, sodding the back yard that they didn't do or any other nonstructural change needs to be approved by the HOA and they charge a $35 fee for this service, seems like I'm living in prison. If I had to do it over I would find another community. The original HOA rules were changed when they hired a new firm which the residents didn't have a vote in.
