I was pretty shocked as obviously race or skin color had nothing to do with it.

Immediately upgraded the common areas (land scapaing, new hand rails, fresh new paint colors, refaced the storage units with wainscoting, cleaned the garage so people could park easier, etc.)3.

Texture and color matching - Your contractor can custom mix the stain or pigments to match the color of wood, natural stone, or whatever material you want.

And we're not talking pale shades here, I mean primary colors.  

-Paint all walls the same color the same quality.

Hi LourdesOne very quick step I always do is to look at the crime color shading on Trulia.com.  

It's not "gang" dangerous per say (you aren't likely to get shot at for walking down the street in the wrong color coat, rather, the biggest concern being dirty needles as opposed to much else), but again - anyone who has lived there will tell you it's far different than say, checking out homes in the British Properties of West Vancouver.

Kristin me and my wife picke paint colors, tiles, kitchen cabinets bathroom vanity and everything else you can see and touch ourselves.

Anyway, the HOA is saying that not only do I need the typical exterior paint color approval and any sort of window shutter approval, etc, but there are HOA "fees" associated with improving one's property.

Some thing Rose Park is on the rise as well.
