I'd be very surprised if you found a modern urban or suburban development in incorporated cities or towns that did NOT have restrictive covenants on it. Out in the sticks--maybe, but that's about it.

We defended one suit where a guy built a shed in his backyard, which the neighbors did not like. Another lawsuit where the neighbors sued a guy in a wealthy development for painting his house orange. (Rules said it had to be a natural desert color--we were able to show that there were desert plants that bloomed in this color). Two other suits where people made additions to their homes that were either too close to their neighbors' fences, or not approved by the HOA. These were all large, expensive single family homes.
