The March-April 2014 survey also revealed that: 90 percent of residents say association board members serve the best interests of their communities. 83 percent say they get along well with the immediate neighbors. 92 percent say they are on friendly terms with their association board members (the homeowners who are elected by their neighbors to govern the community), 83 percent say their community managers provide value and support to residents and their associations. 70 percent of residents say their association rules protect and enhance property values; only 4 percent say the rules harm property values. This affirms four previous national surveys showing that the people who live in condominiums and homeowners associations are overwhelmingly pleased with their communities, says Skiba, whose nonprofit organization provides information, education and resources to help association leaders. More than anything else, this survey affirms the dedication of homeowner leaders and community association managers who work to build and sustain successful communities. The typical community association—whether a condominium, cooperative or homeowners association—is governed by homeowner volunteers who are elected by their fellow owners to set policy for the community. Smaller associations with limited budgets may rely on resident volunteers for various management responsibilities, such as accounting functions and assessment collection, while larger associations contract for the services of a professional community manager or association management company.
