I like my house.  It is old but I am glad to have it since I do not have to pay HOA fees.
I am not sure what HOA fees are. Can you tell me more? Also, do you own it as a single entity or do you lease it?
Home Owners Association
Oh! I completely forgot about that! Oh yeah, it would be annoying to have to pay fees towards a real estate developer's association just for marketing and managing!
New houses in Dallas area must have HOA;s.  How is it in your area?
I rent so I am don't really know about that. But I've heard great things about Dallas! Isn't it the third most populous city in Texas, after Houston and San Antonio?
Yes, I believe it is.  However, I live in a suburb.  It is green and quiet.
Oh nice! Have you ever been to Texas' capital, Austin?
It was a long time ago.  It looks just like any other city in the US.
Really? I have heard differently. I believe I read it is the fastest growing large city in the US so I would imagine it is changing rapidly!
