After weeks of searching, you’ve finally found the perfect home in the perfect community. The one thing you’re not sure about? It has an HOA, and you’re not certain what that means, how it impacts the community or what you and your family gain from it.
Don’t worry, lots of people have questions about HOAs. Let’s start by defining them, and then we’ll go into the top advantages of being a resident of an HOA community.
What is an HOA?
Before we dive into the benefits of an HOA, let’s talk more about what it is. Put simply, a Home Owners Association (HOA) is an organization of home owners within a community who meet regularly to discuss the ongoing maintenance of that community and how they can work to improve the standard of living for all of its residents. They also give guidance as to how the HOA is managed and enforce the rules and regulations of the community’s governing documents.
The HOA is funded through member dues, which are paid traditionally by residents on a recurring basis, while the HOA board creates a budget and decides how best to allocate those funds. HOAs get a bad rap sometimes, but the services they can provide to their communities honestly cannot be beat.
So, what do you gain from being a member of a community with an HOA? Here are the top five benefits you and your family may enjoy:
Top 5 Benefits of a Community HOA
1. They can handle maintenance and upkeep.
The HOA board can take care of various contractors for a number of community maintenance projects. In most cases, this includes trash and recycling pick up, landscaping and lawnmowing for common areas, and snow plowing and/or removal. Depending on your neighborhood’s specific needs, HOAs can also implement other services, such as street sweeping or nighttime private security.

2. They may provide and manage amenities.
Everyone loves neighborhood amenities! And if you have amenities, someone has to manage them. An HOA has the ability to do that for you. They can oversee all of the day-to-day administration duties, such as scheduling the cleaning of the community clubhouse, ensuring there are enough lifeguards at the swimming pool, replacing any broken equipment at the fitness center, and a wealth of other services.
3. They may increase your property value.
Did you know that homes within a community with an HOA may sell at a premium as compared to homes in non-HOA communities? Those same communities may also be less likely to be affected by downturns in the market that impact home prices in the surrounding area. And while we hope you stay in your new home for a long time, that can be a pretty amazing benefit if you ever decide to sell.
4. They preserve the community aesthetic.
Your new neighborhood can look beautiful when you have an HOA to manage it. They will review and approve any renovations to home exteriors, such as fences, decks, paint colors and other permanent structures to make sure the general look and feel of the community is consistent. They can also work to remove eyesores, such as un-mowed lawns and abandoned vehicles.

5. They arrange neighborhood social events.
One of the best responsibilities an HOA may have is to organize events for the whole community! It’s very common for HOAs to hold block parties, movie nights, holiday get-togethers and food truck events, among other festivities. Especially in larger communities, this is a fantastic way to get meet and engage with your neighbors.
Overall, HOAs have the ability provide a vast number of benefits to the communities they support. They can manage the facilities, oversee the amenities, keep the neighborhood visually appealing, and provide opportunities for social engagement. In some cases, they may also even increase property values.
So, when you’ve found your new dream home – and it happens to be in a community with an HOA – consider yourself lucky! You’ve found a neighborhood with the care and assistance it needs to be a beautiful, welcoming place for you and your family.

Following the housing downfall of 2008, the ways in which the housing market has bounced back has been varied but steady. And, particularly with a new wave of homebuyers poking their way into the market, one of the ways the housing market has seen a comeback has been with the continual construction of townhomes.
In fact, townhome purchases have been steadily rising over the last ten years following the Great Recession, with a solid market trend emerging especially at the end of 2018. During the fourth quarter of that year, new townhome construction actually totaled about 123,000, or 24% higher than seen during the previous three quarters.
And now? The market share of townhouses reportedly stands close to approximately 14% of all new single-family construction — which is a “near post-recession high,” according to Chief Economist Robert Dietz of the National Association of Home Builders.
And the reason that townhomes have recently seen a moderate boom in popularity? They present an ideal opportunity for first-time homebuying families who are seeking to escape the rental landscape.
Townhomes are often more affordable than their detached single-family home counterparts, particularly for the Millenials who are simultaneously old enough to insert themselves in the housing market but young enough to carry a large sum of the national student loan debt, as the average loan balance among Millenials is approximately $33,000 today.
And, combined with other lifestyle variables, such debt can render it more challenging for future waves of potential homebuyers to afford a downpayment, as the national average balance is nearly three times higher than today’s median down payment of about $11,400, according to realtor.com.
Townhomes, however, present a more financially palatable option due to lower real estate taxes, a lack of through-the-roof homeowners association fees, and more.
In total, townhomes offer the perfect medium for new homebuyers hoping to leave their rental days behind them without inadvertently straining their finances more than they can handle.
The state of Florida brings the best of beachside living ashore, seeing as there are always plentiful days of sunshine, elegant waters are never more than a tank of gas away, and you’ll never be without an outlet to release stress, be it at a theme park or nature park. In all, it goes without saying that the Sunshine State is aptly named in more ways than one.
But if you’re already living leisurely upon the sandy Florida shores, why not take it one step further? If you’ve ever dreamt of living on the edge of one of the country’s largest crystalline lagoons — with amenities, entertainment, and safety all within your relaxed grasp — then perhaps it’s time we welcomed you home to the resort-style Beachwalk community in St. Johns County.
1.When “Maintenance” Is No Longer In Your Vocabulary
While efficiency might merit a decent grin, the luxury lifestyle you’ll find at Beachwalk will likely pull a far more enthusiastic response from you. After all, who wouldn’t want to live in an upscale neighborhood wherein your homeowner association fee will guarantee that your lawn will always be trimmed to perfection, your gutters will always be clean and clear, and your home’s exterior will be repainted every four or five years?
From roof replacement to insect repellent, your home maintenance is essentially on auto-pilot, meaning you have more time and energy to spend on the things that will truly bring a higher sense of fulfillment to your life.
2.Endless Entertainment, Limitless Recreation
The 14-acre lagoon, which is kept a clean and brilliant azure thanks to chlorine bursts, is accessible only to Beachwalk residents. Whether you’re seeking an afternoon swim, a morning on the paddleboard, or more, the lagoon in and of itself is one of the recreational highlights of the community, aesthetic views aside.
Otherwise, Beachwalk provides access to a variety of outlets for family-friendly fun. With a commercial center parked directly outside of the community’s entrance — and with I-95 and County Road 210 a mere mile away — destination restaurants, theaters, and other boutiques are always available for your perusing. Additionally, you can find nearby golf courses fitness centers, a sports bar, walking paths, and more…
3.In The Home, Around The Home
At the end of the day, it’s what and who you come home to that matters. That’s why, when you purchase a Lennar home in the Beachwalk community, you can choose from a variety of spacious floorplans that feature coastal designs, luxury technology, stainless steel appliances, and wood-like tile floors.
Additionally, Beachwalk offers Wi-Fi-CERTIFIED™ home designs, meaning you’ll find Smart Control Automation in every home. The only thing you won’t find? Wifi dead spots.
Are you ready to find the perfect community whose values match your ideal family lifestyle? Then it’s time to come home to Beachwalk. Be sure to register with Lennar today to learn more about how you can elevate your home’s elegance and enhance your family’s comfort!

With the most haunting night of the year growing near, this blog is your guide to alleviating trick-or-treating fear! From maximizing candy potential to making sure every little ghoul gets back home safely, these tips will be easy to remember and even easier to implement. Follow along to make sure you and your family have a safe and successful Halloween!
Tricks for the Trail
Before you and your loved ones head out on a hunt for sweets, make sure you’ve put together a game plan. Knowing which homes are participating and which ones are sitting out will save precious time in the quest to pile up as much candy as possible. Walking with a group is an easy way to make sure everybody gets home safely. Talk to any friends or family members who have children around the same age as your own to make the night more of an event, as well as making those in costume a bit safer.
If you’ve got any young reapers or princesses walking in your party on Halloween, check the length of their robes and dresses. Spending weeks talking up the holiday and getting excited will be wasted if a mini-monster trips on the bottom of their costume. Nothing’s worse than coming home on Halloween at 7:30 with nothing but an empty bucket and skinned knees. A quick hem or a pair of gliding scissors (rough edges on a reaper are okay!) will make sure your Halloween lasts well into the evening.
If you’ve got an older group going trick-or-treating without adults for the first time, there are steps to take to make sure they stay safe. Make sure any kids in the group with cell phones have a full charge and location services turned on so you can check their route and make sure they’re sticking to what you’ve previously planned. Decide on an end time, double-check they know their way around, and stay in contact throughout the night.
Check Your Treats
When you make it back to your own home after spending the night collecting candy, make it a point to have your kiddos pour everything out. It’s now time for the most important part of Halloween: making sure everything they collected through the night is safe to eat. If you’re sneaky enough, you can take a little bit of a tax and call it room and board. Nobody will miss one chocolate bar, right?
While sorting through your kids’ candy, make a point to pull out any candy that looks suspiciously old, unwrapped, or otherwise tampered with. If you followed the plan you set up, your hauls should be huge. Thanks to this great forward thinking, you can toss one or two pieces of candy out without making a dent in any treasure troves.
So the kids don’t feel left out during this step, take it as an opportunity to encourage trades! When the pirate in your group is more of a sour candy connoisseur, but the zombie craves chocolate, there are plenty of chances to make sure everybody gets what they want and nothing they don’t.
If you’ve perfected your plan for trick-or-treating and your night went smoothly, you can ration out your candy and be diving into sweets until well into next year. Plus, thanks to your preparations, the kids in your group will be able to work the homes on your route like pros. If you’re hosting a Halloween party for adults after the trick-or-treating is over, check out these tips to make sure that goes off without a hitch.
