Because I'm going to be working in the area later this year, I've been looking at Irvine, where it seems to be true. I don't make it a habit of looking into real estate in places I don't live, but a rule of thumb is if it's a new development or not on a main road it's in an HOA (and of course multifamily housing probably has one). The house I live in now is on a main road and not in an HOA.
