I built in a development like yours, with more restrictions than you could imagine, the most scrutinized is the house size. Some builders put living space in the basement, on the plans, to get approved by the review committee and never finished the basement. No one cared about most of the other restrictions, just don’t piss your neighbors off, out of sight out of mind. I live on 12 acres and break all the rules, no one cares there’s a backhoe and trailer in my field as long as they can’t see them.

One tried to change the deed restrictions, went to court with no luck. Just pissed the association off and the owners (your soon to be neighbors) paid to fight it in court
