How a Homeowners Association Helps Create a Planned, Well- Maintained Community

The Rolwes Company is a St. Louis home builder who creates neighborhoods where residential standards, general upkeep and aesthetic consistency are monitored by a Homeowners Association (HOA). 

An HOA is comprised of homeowners who appoint a board of directors through a community. This group meets regularly to manage neighborhood amenities, plan future projects, establish visual guidelines, discuss current issues and ensure routine upkeep of shared areas such as parks, playgrounds, streets and walkways. 

Keep it Clean and Safe

The Rolwes Company creates communities which are beautifully maintained by homeowners associations, making them a sought after St. Louis home builder. New homeowners become members of the HOA and contribute monthly dues. This in turn helps to pay for external maintenance tasks like landscaping of open spaces, upkeep of entrance monuments and snow removal in non-municipal areas. In many communities, HOA-arranged services can include street sweeping, storm water maintenance features and nighttime security patrols. 

Preserve it for Tomorrow

The consistent neighborhood maintenance provided by an HOA is similar to a long-term investment. A vigilant system of prevention and repair can keep a neighborhood attractive and well cared-for. This type of routine maintenance can create a standard of quality living enjoyed by many generations to come. Plus, a well-maintained community can have a positive effect on property values and visual appeal for future buyers.  

Connect With Neighbors

An HOA acts as a cohesive hub for communication and interaction among residents. Routine meetings allow neighbors to discuss the building of new homes, improvement of recreational spaces, future beautification projects and seasonal gatherings.

Enjoy Worry-free Amenities

In some neighborhoods, the HOA is responsible for maintaining shared facilities such as swimming pools, athletic courts, nature trails and picnic areas. These amenities are maintained as valued auxiliary properties, which require zero effort from residents to keep clean and in working order. Your HOA membership can provide year-round access to an array of well-maintained facilities. 

Maintain Consistency

The HOA is often the regulating authority on the look and feel of the neighborhood at large when it comes to exteriors, landscape design or even structural parameters. This assures that a harmonious set of aesthetics and motifs are at work that is pleasing for residents and visitors alike. Also, this helps prevent properties from becoming visual concerns due to unkempt lawns and over-ambitious building additions.     

Make it Count

The right St. Louis home builder can introduce you to an HOA that will allow you to participate as a member of the community, get to know your neighbors and develop a deeper sense of belonging. This sort of communication and engagement helps create a sense of unity across the subdivision. Interaction with common concerns can, in turn, enhance security, overall safety and the long-term quality of the neighborhood. 

HOAs are time-tested organizations, which present residential owners with an array of distinct advantages and benefits. Contact us to learn more about buying a home in a quality St. Louis neighborhood.
