The Association of Residential Communities (ARC) proactively supports the members of Homeowners Associations (HOAs) and Bodies Corporate, as well as their management teams in the achievement of their vision which classically is to protect, maintain and enhance the value of the property as well as the lives and lifestyles of their residents. 

ARC support services are aimed at all organised residential communities such as golf, lifestyle and leisure estates, cluster developments and townhouse complexes. ARC practically engages with members and offers a wide range of supporting services, dynamic networking opportunities, access to best practice and provision of policies, procedures, tools and templates for the effective management and leadership of the communities they serve. 

ARC believes that 80% of HOAs share similar issues and challenges and that there is a great opportunity for increasing efficiencies through sharing information and collective networking.  

We continue to strive to meet the needs of our members and the industry.

Join ARC today, let's make a difference in your community!

Did you know as a Director/Trustee?

You’re part of the leadership team of a corporation. Your association is a corporation; and, although you’re not running Nedbank or Telkom, you’re still a corporate board member, responsible for running a business. Your investors are your association members, and you’re responsible for maximizing the return on their investment - their homes. 

You’re an elected official. Your association likely provides some services that traditionally were provided by local government. That makes you similar to a town council member (or the mayor, if you’re the president), responsible for ensuring that services are provided and that rules areappropriate and fairly applied. Your citizens are - again - your association members, and you’re responsible for maintaining and enhancing their quality of life. 

You’re a leader. Your association is a neighborhood like a family. That makes you a parent, cheerleader, role model, social director - in short, a community builder. Your members are your neighbors, and you’re responsible for their civic well-being.That’s a lot of responsibility, and we’re here to support you.Our mission is to help you not only succeed, but to achieve successwith a minimum amount of anxiety. Hopefully, we can even help you enjoy the experience.

That’s why we provide you with the information, tools  and resources you need to be a successful and respected leader.

Joining ARC will be the smartest move you make
