4 Ways Associations Benefit You and Your Neighbors​


​Caring for a home is hard work. That’s why homeowners’ associations, condo associations and other community associations accept some of the responsibilities that most homeowners and tenants just don’t have time to complete. With a community association on your side, your home will be cared for, protected and your property values can even increase.
 
Here are four benefits to HOAs and other community associations.
 
They help manage conflicts among community members. Conflicts among neighbors are easier to resolve in neighborhoods governed by community associations. In fact, many common disputes are likely to be covered in the association's rules. Barking dogs, overgrown trees or house parties are all topics included in an association's bylaws, meaning they’re likely to have a solution to your dispute. 
 
They take many maintenance responsibilities off your hands. People living in a community governed by an association are charged fees to pay for the upkeep of the community. If your neighborhood has a shared pool or grilling and picnic areas, your fees pay for its maintenance. With many community associations, you can enjoy the fun of these amenities without worrying about maintaining them on your own.
 
They ensure your community is clean and well maintained. If you maintain your home well, it can feel especially frustrating to be neighbors with someone who doesn’t. Rules and regulations exist for this reason. Community members who don’t follow the rules are provided with a warning and grace period to address the issue at hand – like mowing the lawn. Through an association, your neighbors are held accountable for maintaining an attractive community. 
 
They protect and increase your property value. Together, all these benefits contribute to one valuable payout – increased property values. A well-maintained community isn’t just pretty to look at, it’s also a strong investment in your future. Overgrown grass, abandoned vehicles or strange paint colors are regulated to maintain the community's appeal and provide greater value if you decide to sell your home. 
 
Every community association is different, with unique perks and responsibilities affecting homeowners and tenants. ACM’s staff members are knowledgeable and ready to answer your questions. Don’t be afraid to ask questions to learn how ACM and its staff can help you love the community you live in.
