yes, I know all about HPP... Lived there next to some neighbors that had 6 kids that would run quads all day long. Got real old fast on dirt roads.
Anyway, I'm glad you have "GOOD" neighbors because that's what it's all about! As for drinking your own catchment water. There is more to it then that. For one you gotta keep your tank super clean... You gotta change filters often... As for UV it's good, but you got to maintain that too, along with pumps, gutters, etc...etc... Sure, you don't have to pay 30 bucks a month ... But, you also don't need to have water delivered or worry about running low on the catchment tank. Or worry about the tank period. So if you want to be your own water supply and you test and buy chemicals/filters to keep it clean... Go for it! No one is forcing you to buy a water meter in shores / beaches either. You can have catchment there as well. Also, there are no CCR's in shores / beaches like HPP you can have chickens and goats as well!
As for road runner last I heard it's only half way down in HPP. So... Not everyone has it. Yes, I know there is cell and wireless as well in the park. But I prefer roadrunner. And yes there are mail boxes in front if your lucky enough to get one... One other thing... the bus doesn't run though HPP so... that's another plus... And the county has to maintain the roads so "supposedly" they have to provide fire and police runs as well. Where in a private subdivision your left on your own.
But with prices being around 10K per lot it's another advantage to buy 2 or 3 lots. So if you wanted you could have .6 or an acre for 30K. Where if you did buy 3 lots, Typical lot is 70 would be 210' wide would make it more private since HPP lots are only 135' wide. So as you say... it depends on what you want...
