HOA

The Wyndham Lakes HOA is made up of volunteer homeowners who live in the subdivision. 

HOAs have several functions, but it’s important to emphasize that HOAs have one basic mandate: to increase property values. That’s it. Everything else a neighborhood’s HOA does is with that goal in mind.

If something could adversely affect property values, you can be quite certain that the neighborhood’s HOA has a rule preventing it from happening. For example, there is a rule that requires homeowners to obtain HOA approval to change the exterior color of their home. Why? Because a house painted an odd or obnoxious color lowers the value of surrounding properties. We also have rules that prevent homeowners from putting a sofa in their front lawn, leaving their trash cans in locations visible from the street, or putting window air conditioners in their front windows, for the same reason.

Furthermore, HOAs are responsible for maintaining common areas in their communities.  Nicely-manicured common spaces increase property values.
