How Palm Hill Works

Palm Hill is run by its residents. Home Owners of Palm Hill, Inc. (HOPH) is the cooperative that residents formed in 1984: every home is one share, and the shareholders elect a Board of Directors. The Board makes the decisions. Resident committees look into issues and recommend, two Recreation Clubs run much of the social life at each clubhouse, and a management company handles most of the day-to-day work.

Pick a group to see what it does, how it fits in, how it can help you, and when it meets.
