Privacy fence versus open. A 6-foot cedar privacy fence is the standard in Thornton subdivisions; split-rail with wire is the rule in many HOA communities that ban privacy fences. The listing says fenced; the HOA says what kind.

Fence condition and who owns it. Cedar lasts 15 to 20 years in Colorado sun. A leaning fence is a $3,000 to $8,000 replacement, and the neighbor shares the line and sometimes the cost.

Dogs and the HOA. Fenced does not mean dogs are unrestricted. Breed rules, dog counts and leash rules live in the covenants; we read them.

Acreage fencing. On rural Thornton lots, "fully fenced" means perimeter fencing for horses or livestock. Pasture fencing and cross-fencing are worth real money.
