Creating Better Lifestyle Communities Across Georgia
People join Georgia lifestyle communities for the amenities and active social life. From pools to clubhouses, golf courses, and more, lifestyle communities offer more than just a place to live. These neighborhoods are built around a lifestyle that has attracted their residents to buy in the community.
Associations in these communities have the responsibility to create the lifestyle that their residents expect. Amenities need to be maintained, community standards need to be upheld, assessments need to be managed, and residents need timely communication. Too often, these responsibilities place an undue amount of stress on Georgia’s lifestyle community Boards.
That is why your lifestyle community needs the help of Atlanta Community Services (ACS).
At ACS, our expert, local team works with your Board to provide the services your community needs to thrive. We will take on the operational, administrative, and financial management tasks that are causing burnout. Our help frees up your Board to focus on the important long-term decision-making your lifestyle community needs to succeed well into the future.

What is Lifestyle Community Management?
Lifestyle communities are built around specific shared amenities, activities, and resident experiences. Often, these communities in Atlanta and throughout Georgia may include:
• Swimming pools.
• Clubhouses.
• Fitness centers.
• Parks.
• Trails.
• Sports facilities.
• Social spaces.
Management of lifestyle communities must ensure that the amenities and common experiences remain high quality. Plus, the Board will also be responsible for the typical management tasks common in community association management, such as maintenance, scheduling, budgeting, inspections, etc.
Professional community management from Atlanta Community Services provides relief to your volunteer Boards and offers an experienced resource for handling all of the responsibilities and complexities involved in managing lifestyle communities.
Helping Your Board Protect the Resident Experience
Lifestyle communities are distinct from other association types because they must also maintain the experience that residents expect when they choose to live there.
At Atlanta Community Services, we work proactively with your Board to identify needs and fix small issues before they turn into big problems. Yet, we don’t just bring our expertise to Georgia’s lifestyle communities. Instead, our team has proven experience working with Boards governing communities of many different sizes and types, including:
HOAs
Townhome communities
Condo communities
Large-scale communities
