Do you enjoy living in an HOA? According to the 2019 Fact Book published by the Foundation for Community Association Research, 25 to 27% of the U.S. population resided in a community association in 2019. For perspective, in the U.S. in 1970, there were about 10,000 community associations with 2.1 million residents. The Foundation estimates the number of U.S. community associations in 2020 is between 352,000 and 354,000. These statistics grow larger every year as HOA living appeals to more and more Americans and developers. Seventyseven percent of new housing built for sale is in a community association.
Why do Americans enjoy living in a Homeowners Association? According to the 2020 Homeowner Satisfaction Survey conducted by the Foundation for Community, a clean and attractive neighborhood is one of the main reasons. An essential element for an association to function properly is effective board leadership. According to the survey, most respondents said their board serves the best interest of the community. The community manager is responsible to carry out policies set by the board and to manage the association's daily operations. The survey results indicate most residents see their community manager as providing value and support to them. And on the topic of assessments for services and amenities, most respondents said their assessments are not too high. These results indicate that Community Associations remain preferred places to call home. Residents indicate overwhelmingly they are satisfied in their communities. If you find yourself not agreeing with the results below, contact a board member and let us know how you feel and how we can best meet the needs of our community. Your Board works hard to make informed decisions that maintain, enhance, and protect all of our property values in Sun City Aliante.
