“Common-interest communities” are residential real estate, mixed-use or commercial developments in which a homeowners’ or unit owners’ association or some other entity operates in many respects as a private government enforcing rules and regulations, collecting annual dues and assessments, and managing the common areas. This general term therefore encompasses a planned community, a condominium, and a cooperative form of real estate development. The vast majority of new residential real estate developments and almost all new residential/resort developments in the United States are formed as common interest communities. In addition, mixed-use, commercial and office condominiums are commonplace in contemporary real estate development.
This book will include a case study/research emphasis. Case studies will include resort communities, hotel condominiums, dockominiums, green communities, and historic preservation communities. The Context and Practice series book also focuses on the following: creation of a common interest community from the developer’s perspective; homeowner association issues; condominium conversions; consumer protection issues; federal and state regulation; and, constitutional, practical and public policy issues. Students using the book will be encouraged to undertake case study projects, including interviews with investors, developers, homeowner board members, government officials, and lawyers who specialize in common interest community work.
This book is part of the Context and Practice Series, edited by Michael Hunter Schwartz, Professor of Law & Associate Dean for Faculty and Academic Development, Washburn University School of Law.
