Just try and stay out of a CA neighborhood if you can, plenty around the area that are outside of it but still in Columbia.

Maybe you just have terrible taste

Seriously no one mentioned El Azteca in Clarksville? Jfc

If you have an outdoor pool or hot tub, you have to erect a fence as it’s considered an “attractive nuisance.” Something to consider, search for homes with those add-ons.

Mi vida or dlena in DC. Clavel in Baltimore. Most others are just simply chains or not good.

Although for a suburb location Chi-Bal in Laurel is significantly better than Tampico, la-palapa, cinco de Mayo, or any other option presented.

Finally an actual decent response.

Tampico grill may very well been the worst Mexican food I ever had.

I wouldn't say despise but there are far better options in either direction on Route 40 within 5 minutes.

I haven't tried Mi Casa yet but I was pretty disappointed with Ernesto's.

Food is fantastic, it's the best I've found so far. I've had trouble w/ the pick up option on Door Dash or maybe it was Uber Eats. So, if you're doing a pick up it's best to call instead.

It’s really easy when you are shopping for homes. If the houses next to the one you are interested in doesn’t have a 6 foot fence, then you will not be allowed to either.

I hate to scare you, but people I know don’t mess with the HOA. I’m told not to get on their bad side or else they’ll look for things to fine you about. There’s just no way to get a fence that tall.

Yeah it’s super hard to get anything but split rail fences. Columbia Association wants to make sure that Columbia has big open spaces for people and animals to roam around. That’s why it’s super difficult to get approved for anything else.

I highly recommend Joan at Hobbit's Glen. She is fantastic, patient, extremely knowledgeable and helped lower my score 8 strokes. The drills she teaches are easy to understand.

Our dogs were never quite bright enough to jump over, despite us having a pile of firewood right on the fence line. The one dog did make a habit of digging out under frequently though. Every time he did we had to cover the spot with a paver and it just ended up being a miniature Berlin Wall

There are some good ones on the list. Klobes is great during the week, on the weekend I've gotten done dry BBQ. If you like bread pudding, this is THE place to go for dessert, with several varieties available (Bourbon Rum is really good).

My kid's pediatrician said it best "if you didn't have an allergy before moving to Maryland you will now". He was right, before moving here I didn't have allergies, since moving here I found I now have some allergies.

Sorrento's in Arbutus is one of my local favorites, a bit of a drive but worth it. Pazani in Elkridge (Marshalee Drive, just off Rt 100 & 103)

Yep my parents home is in one of the neighborhoods. Or I guess technically their house was built first so there was no HOA in place in the late 80s and it stayed that way.

cure for cancer?!?! well what about the people who already died from it 😡

That's so messed up but was the impression we got of what was going on. I'm beyond thankful Google Street view came through for us.

There was an issue with a past Covenant Advisor, probably the person who did the inspection for the original Letter you received when you purchased the house.

My own home was issued a Letter of Compliance back around 2010, and there were at least a dozen violations until we renovated much of the exterior. A LoC should have never been issued.

What it comes down to, the Covenant Advisors after the problem person, who handled the issuance of the LoCs were directed to correct past mistakes. Rather than admitting what had happened with the past Covenant Advisor. It was real easy to put the blame on the residents considering very few of them had images to back up their claims.
