First off, search this forum for "HOA". You'll find they have no power over you installing a reasonable TV antenna.
That said, you will need an antenna that's able to pull in UHF & VHF, as you have some channels on the VHF-Lo side of the spectrum, including ABC.
You probably already have a signal meter in your TV's diagnostic menu. Tune to it for a given channel and you'll likely have a meter with bars indicating strength.
As for the antenna, I'd suggest either an HD7000R or a Clearstream CS-2-V. Both are low profile, aesthetically speaking. Both should work well. Keep in mind that attics can cause issues. Not saying it won't work, but it will impact the signal reception to some degree. In the attic, I'd likely look for a larger antenna.
Mounted outdoors, facing N-NE, without trees or buildings blocking, you should be able to tune in everything including ABC. It's not in the same cluster as the rest of the channels that are nearby, so you'll have to find the sweetspot in the middle. So be sure and adjust over that 40 degree range while checking signal strength on your weakest station. By the compass, ABC is at 48 degrees magnetic and everything else is a bit more north at 12 degrees. Aiming a little more at ABC will probably be your best setup.
