In Lincoln Park as well, pretty much the only way to avoid HOAs are townhomes (which is the route we went, because of my prior condo experience)
The HOAs are so high they also make the economics of rental income very hard, so unless they provide amenities that have resale or rental pricing value you are just paying a monthly compliance fee. How they became so common boggles my mind.
