I know for certain, the townhomes at Spanish Springs has an HOA. I heard there was an HOA in the area of the private pool and park. I have no idea if it is soley for the villa owners or the entire village. I believe the HOAs are the reason they can set their own rules.

Both areas were constructed 20 yrs ago. Schwartz was in charge and he did things differently than Gary Morse. No one should be annoyed by the perks from the past. The generation now in charge is providing perks in the newer areas. Change is good!
Wasn't aware of that. But I assume the litmus test is not whether there is an HOA, but whether or not general amenity fees are supporting the pool. Not that I care, I've never been in community pool in 11 years
