Homeownership

Homeownership is a life priority shared by most Americans. Usually our work and our lifestyles determine whether we choose to live independently on land without deed restrictions or to live in common interest developments. For millions, we have chosen to live in one of more than 300,000 planned unit developments, condominiums, townhomes, or cooperatives. However, living in a community with a homeowner association requires balancing shared values with mutual respect for individual differences. We encourage you to browse and learn more. Welcome to HOA-USA.

    Builders

    As a builder/developer, are homeowner associations an asset, a liability, or a necessary evil? Homeowner associations are more than a product of federal and state laws. Over 53% of owner occupied homes are now located in communities with a homeowner association. Associations have become a significant factor in the marketability of a community. Homebuyers today look for restrictive covenants to protect home values. They also shop for communities with amenities in the form of common area pools, clubhouses, fitness centers, marinas, etc.
