Free for founding associations. Forever. No ads. No algorithm. Residents never pay.

A first day on CondoNet: the welcome card, neighbors waving hello, and a conversation with reactions and replies

Pictured: a first day on CondoNet. The personal welcome each new arrival gets, friendly faces waving hello, and the first conversation already underway.

Your association deserves one trusted place to connect, communicate, and keep everyone informed.

Built for neighbors, not social media.

Private

Members only, approved by your host. Invisible to search engines, invisible from outside.

Considerate

A chronological feed with no ads, no engagement tricks, and no pings after 9pm. The only loud moment is a real emergency.

Permanent

What matters stays findable. For the next board, and the next neighbor.

Fair

When the community must choose, whether budgets, boards or big projects, the vote happens here: private ballots, honest counts, everyone's voice.

The people around you are part of
what makes a place home.

There's something special about knowing the people you see every day. A familiar face in the parking lot. A wave on an evening walk. A neighbor who becomes a friend.

CondoNet makes those connections easier to begin. Putting names to familiar faces opens the door to conversations, friendships, and a stronger sense of belonging, right where you live.

The community was always there. CondoNet helps you find it.

A neighbor's profile with story chips

Find your people.

Hometowns, schools, careers, interests. Every detail optional, every one searchable. The retired teacher two doors down. A fellow Penn State grad. Someone looking for a tennis partner. Sometimes all it takes is discovering what you already have in common.

Friendship close to home means more than having someone to talk to. It means more reasons to get out, stay active, share a laugh, lend a hand, and feel connected to the people around you.Discovery by search, never by algorithm.

An emergency alert on the home feed

When it matters, everyone knows.

A storm, a water outage, a fire: one emergency alert moves to the top of every resident's feed and reaches them in seconds. Even the ones who turn every other notification off. As things develop, the board posts timestamped updates to the same alert, so there's one place to look and no rumor mill. And it's the only time CondoNet ever raises its voice.

An emergency, start to finish

1 · Declared

Your board or manager posts it once. Every feed changes that moment, and the alert follows them to every page until it's over. No one has to go looking.

2 · Updated

"8:15pm, seawall lot is clear." Timestamped updates stack on the same alert as the situation develops. Quiet hours never hold an emergency; it's the one thing that should interrupt dinner.

3 · All clear

One tap stands everyone down. The feed returns to normal, and the whole episode stays in the record, the way everything does here: declaration, updates, resolution.

In your pocket on the walk home.

CondoNet is built for the phone already in your hand. A found paddle. Tonight's sky. A question answered. The small stuff that makes a neighborhood finds you along the way.

The lost-and-found that actually works

No app store. No downloads. It works in the browser your phone already has.

Boards change. Managers change. Neighbors come and go. The community itself continues.

Your association builds history every day.

Conversations become decisions. Projects become lessons. CondoNet keeps those moments connected, creating a useful history without asking anyone to maintain one.

The community timeline

A timeline that never starts over.

Minutes, budgets, policies: organized, versioned, searchable. A timeline of the big moments: 1998 built, 2015 pool rebuilt, 2026 roof replaced. The people telling the story change; the story doesn't.

A home's private unit record

Your home gets a biography too.

A private record for your unit that transfers to the next owner when you sell: the kitchen reno, the furnace's age, the warranty folder. Written by owners, visible only inside the home, invisible even to the board. The binder that never gets lost at closing.

The Library on a phone: minutes, budgets, policies, all searchable

Documents that answer back.

Minutes, budgets, reserve studies, contracts, insurance, policies, engineering reports, photographs. Filed once in the Library, found in seconds, never lost in an inbox. And every document holds its own conversation: neighbors ask questions and add context right on the record, so the answer stays where the question was asked. Each document becomes easier to understand with the years, because the discussion around it never falls away. The neighbors of tomorrow inherit today's conversations.

When history becomes experience.

Nobody sits down to write any of it. It accumulates on its own. One post, one document, one answered question at a time. And something more useful than history accumulates with it: experience. History is what happened. Experience is knowing what to do next.

Every year, a community that keeps its conversations knows itself a little better. Healthy communities don't just preserve history. They build experience.

And when it’s time to decide — everyone’s in the room.

A poll in the community feed with live results

A show of hands, any time.

Food-truck night or movie night? Mums or marigolds? Attach a quick poll to any post and let everyone weigh in: live tallies, no stakes, a little fun. And every finished poll keeps its result where anyone can browse it later.Little decisions, kept. Someone in 2031 will be glad.

A community ballot, mid-vote

When the choice is real, the vote is too.

CondoNet includes a dedicated voting system for board elections and other formal association decisions. Eligibility is established before voting begins, ballots remain private, and every voter receives confirmation that their vote was received.

The vote runs independently of the board, and the count stays sealed until voting closes. Results are released to everyone at the same time, creating a clear, verifiable process and a result your association can trust.Fair isn’t a promise here. It’s the procedure.

A committee's room with its charter and task list

Rooms of their own.

Committees and clubs get a home base: the landscape crew, the book club, the holiday-party brigade. Each has its own bulletin, its own gatherings, a task list with names and dates, and one clean channel for sending a fully-formed idea up to the board. Most doors stay open. Wander in, read along, join with a tap. And a committee that speaks to the board does it by name.The work happens where everyone can see it. Which is how good work happens.

Give your board a better starting point.

No board should ever start from zero again.

When the gavel changes hands, everything is already waiting: the documents, the decisions, the conversations, the context. Nothing has to be handed off, because nothing ever left. And yes, CondoNet is free for founding associations, forever, but that isn't why people choose it. They choose it because the work of every board keeps working for the next one. And no community opens on an empty shelf: from day one, a plain-language handbook of how deciding works here is already waiting in the Library.

Start your community

Built to last longer than any board.

The door: the admin setting that decides how residents join

Private by design.

Only verified residents belong inside: every member confirmed against the association's own resident list by a person, not a bot. Nothing public. Nothing indexed. Nothing shared outside. Your neighbors, and no one else. And the door is yours to set: open instantly with a shared invite code, or approve each request yourself. Change it anytime, in one click.

The host's view: a pending request matched against the resident roster, one-click approve

Hosting is lighter than you think.

Every community has a host: a board member, a manager, a volunteer. The tools do the heavy lifting. When someone asks to join, the roster vouches for them. Moderation is just as calm: a report button that comes to you, pin and archive controls for announcements, and a log of every administrative action. Most hosts spend minutes a week, not evenings.

Everything included.

Every CondoNet community receives all of it, from day one.

The trust contract.

Hosts can see what any member sees, plus the approval queue and audit log. Never your private fields. No ads, ever. No data sold, ever. Residents own their data; the association owns its history.

Emergency contacts and private fields are never searchable. What you don't fill in doesn't exist. Unit records are for the household alone. Not even the board can see them.

From the caretaker's workshop

CondoNet wasn't built in a startup incubator. It grew out of twenty-five years tending the grounds of condominium and HOA communities. Dozens of them, season after season.

The same realization kept surfacing, community after community: healthy places aren't created by landscaping alone. They're created by neighbors who know one another, trust one another, and hold on to what came before.

CondoNet is simply that lesson, turned into software.

Looking ahead.

A few years of history in one place, and something quietly follows. One day, a resident or a board member will be able to ask the past a question, the way you'd ask a longtime neighbor across the fence. When did this project begin? Didn't we already solve this? Why was it decided this way?

The answers will simply be there, not because anyone wrote a report, but because the community carried its experience forward. That's not a distant dream. It's just what happens when nothing important is lost.

It should always have worked this way.

Questions boards ask

Is it public?

No. CondoNet is members-only and invisible to search engines. There are no public profiles and nothing to find from outside.

What does it cost?

Nothing. CondoNet is free for founding associations, forever, and residents never pay. We'd rather grow on your recommendation than your budget line.

Do residents need an app?

It works in any browser, on any phone, tablet, or computer. Add it to your home screen and it feels like an app.

Who approves members?

Your host, checked against your own resident list, so everyone inside is really your neighbor.

Can we move our old documents in?

Yes. The Library is built for the back catalog: minutes, budgets, governing documents. Organized, versioned, and searchable.

Can we run real association votes?

Yes. Quick polls for the fun stuff, advisory votes when the board wants an honest read of the community, and full elections with private ballots and receipts for the decisions that bind. The formal-election language is in front of our attorneys now, and until they sign off, every such vote is labeled for practice. We'd rather be straight with you than early.

Do committees get their own space?

Every committee and club gets a room of its own: posts, gatherings, a task list, and a direct line to the board. Readable by any resident who cares to look in.

What about the group chat or social page we already have?

Keep it if you like. CondoNet is where the record lives. And where you always know who you're talking to.

Who's behind this?

Twenty-five years tending condominium and HOA communities. See "From the caretaker's workshop" above.

Rehearse first. Then go live.

Set it up before anyone arrives. Post, vote, sign in as a neighbor, see what they see. Clear what was practice. Then go live, and the record belongs to your community from that day on.

Starting is simple.

Tell us about your community. That's everything we need. We set it up and send back your sign-in link, along with invite codes to hand your neighbors. Nothing to install, and no meeting required.

Twice, on purpose. Your community's web address is built from this name, and the address is permanent. The name itself can be corrected later.

A person reads every request. Usually the caretaker. Prefer plain email? start@condonet.com
