Buckeye is on the far west side of Metro PHX. I call it "east LA". It has one of the worst commute traffic lanes in the Metro area. Where are you going to work? Check Chandler and Gilbert, they are building new homes all over that area. East Mesa is exploding right not too. Look up "Eastmark" or Mesa Area. Most any sub division with club house, pool, ball parks, parks, etc will have HOA's. Many smaller ones do now. I would guess to say that all brand new sub divisions WILL have HOA. I live in a community called "Las Sendas" and we have a HOA. I have owned here since 1998 and really don't have any problems with them. I actually like that they don't allow motor homes, boats, trailer and junk allowed on the property. Drive a mile away and see all of above sitting all over the property. Looks like trash or "Ma and Pa Kettle" live there.
