I am a professional who purchased a unit years ago and I will NEVER buy a place that has a HOA again...EVER. Don't ever rent one of these places, let alone buy one. If you are not old or a pervert like some of the owners in this complex they will find every excuse they can to deviously run you out. Everything seemed to go well at first, but no matter how great of a homeowner you are, if they don't like you it does not matter. The good reviews on these places are obviously inputs from the staff - please disregard their statements. Good luck - happy househunting.
