Working together
Gated & Country Club Communities
Gated and country-club communities are their own segment of the Albuquerque market, and the thing that most often needs untangling is governance: what the association is, what the club is, what each costs, and which of them you are actually obliged to.
Separate the association from the club
In Tanoan and Four Hills alike, buying a home and joining the club are separate transactions. Confirm what the assessment covers, what membership categories exist and cost, whether any membership attaches to the property, and whether anything is mandatory. Ask for it in writing during the inspection period.
Read the documents as a set
Covenants, current rules and regulations, architectural guidelines, the budget and the most recent financials belong together. Individually each is unremarkable; read as a set they show whether the community is funding what it has promised to maintain. In a community whose value rests on gates, patrols and shared grounds, the reserve position is part of what you are buying.
Know which section you are in
Communities that look like one place from a listing sheet are often governed in parts, with different assessments and different rules per section. Establish which documents govern the specific address before comparing it to anything else.
