HOA Ratings: What Do They Actually Mean?

HOA ratings are like Yelp reviews for your neighborhood. But what do they actually tell you? A 5-star HOA might mean friendly board members and well-maintained amenities. A 1-star? That’s usually a red flag for mismanagement, unresponsive boards, or overly strict rules.

When checking ratings, dig into the details. A single bad review isn’t the end of the world, but a pattern of complaints? That’s worth paying attention to.
