Neighborhood Associations

A neighborhood association is the officially designated, recognized organization for a specific geographic location. Unlike town home associations, which are legal entities, neighborhood associations are organized to build social cohesion.

Do you currently have an active neighborhood group that is not registered? We’d love to have your neighborhood included in our list. Registration is free and simple, and benefits are listed below. Neighborhoods work with RNeighbors to determine their association’s boundaries when forming. The registration form can be downloaded in PDF. We also provide neighborhood association guidelines for successful community organizing.

Disclaimer: An RNeighbors registered “Neighborhood Association” (NA) is expected to conduct itself in a manner that reflects the positive community building of RNeighbors and to follow the NA Guidelines. However, each group is governed independently. Official NA status does not constitute an endorsement or approval by RNeighbors of any action and/or information presented by such a neighborhood association.
