A community manager is a manager of a condominium or homeowners association (including single-family home subdivisions, townhouses, or mixed-use development). The position is frequently confused with a property manager, who deals with individual rental units or a group of rental units, like an apartment complex. The community manager deals with property owners and homeowners.

[edit] Types

On-site manager: This type of manager works in the community which he or she manages.

To be considered for this designation, the candidate must already be a manager of a large-scale community of over 1200 units, 1000 acres and a budget of at least $1.5m.
