Compare Condo Association Management Companies in Grand Boulevard
BoardMatch does not manage communities. We run the process and produce the comparison; your Board decides.
Association counts are modelled for Grand Boulevard from Illinois totals apportioned by population, and are labeled as estimates wherever they appear. Licensing per the Community Associations Institute 2025 CAM licensing report.
Snow and seasonal contracting are a recurring flashpoint in Grand Boulevard, and how a company procures and supervises those vendors is worth more scrutiny than most Boards give it. Grand Boulevard sits 2 miles from New City, well inside the radius almost every company in that market already serves. In practice a Board here draws on the whole New City field, which is why fee quotes in Grand Boulevard track the metro rather than the town.
Boards in Grand Boulevard searching for new management usually start from one of two places: a fee that has escalated past what the work is worth, or a service failure that has gone on too long. BoardMatch collects written proposals against one normalized scope so both questions can be answered with the same document.
We do not rank Management Companies on this page, and we do not publish a list of them. A list tells you who bought the listing. It does not tell you what a company would charge your association, what it includes, who your manager would be, or how many other communities that person carries.
Instead, companies serving Grand Boulevard bid privately against your scope. You describe your community once, qualified firms submit written proposals in the same format, and you get one comparison with a three-year cost projection. No company can pay for placement, and none of them gets your phone number until your Board asks.

A regional benchmark banded by community size, with the band Grand Boulevard actually skews to marked.
At the size most Grand Boulevard communities are — under 100 units — the regional benchmark works out to $16–$21 per unit per month, or about $1000–$1.2k a month. That is a modelled figure for Illinois, not a measurement of Grand Boulevard, and it is a starting point rather than a target: the proposals your own Board collects are the real number, and the spread between the highest and lowest is usually wider than Boards expect.
| Community size | Typical per unit, per month | Monthly, at that size |
|---|---|---|
| Under 100 units most common here | $16–$21 | $1000–$1.2k |
| 100 to 249 units | $14–$18 | $2.5k–$3k |
| 250 to 499 units | $12–$16 | $4.4k–$5.4k |
| 500 units and up | $10–$13 | $7.2k–$8.8k |

Most associations around Grand Boulevard are small — under 100 units — and that changes what a good proposal looks like. Small communities are usually managed from a portfolio rather than on site, so the questions that matter are how many other associations your named manager carries, what the response commitment actually is in writing, and which services fall outside the base fee. A small association is also where a flat monthly quote and a per-door quote diverge most, and where an onboarding fee is largest as a share of the first year.
At Grand Boulevard's typical size, ask what the base fee does not cover before you ask what it does. Small associations are where ancillary charges land hardest as a share of the budget. Illinois licenses community association managers, so a license number is checkable — ask for the individual's, not just the firm's, and check it before the interview rather than after.
Where those numbers come from
We publish market-level fee data only where we have enough verified proposals to stand behind it. Until then, here is what the published industry sources say nationally.
| Figure | Published range | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Management fee, per unit per month | $10 – $20 | HOAManagement.com; iPropertyManagement |
| Premium or full-service, per unit per month | up to $50 | iPropertyManagement |
| Onboarding or initiation fee | $2,000 – $30,000 | HOAManagement.com; iPropertyManagement |
| Median monthly homeowner assessment (HOA or condo dues), US | $135 | US Census, 2024 ACS |
How deep the field is in Grand Boulevard
Worth knowing before your Board sets expectations on how many proposals arrive.
Companies bidding here are matched on the service area they declare themselves — an office and a radius, whole states, or named ZIP codes — so the field is the set of firms that genuinely reach Grand Boulevard, not a list of everyone in Illinois.
The nearest markets BoardMatch publishes are Kenwood (1 mi), Douglas (1 mi) and Hyde Park (2 mi). 12 published markets sit within 25 miles of Grand Boulevard, so a company quoting here is almost certainly quoting there too — which is worth knowing, because a firm that is thin on capacity in one of them is thin on capacity in all of them.
We estimate 30 community associations in and around Grand Boulevard. That is a modelled figure, not a register, and we show it so a Board can judge whether a thin field here reflects the market or reflects how few companies have declared coverage yet.
Illinois rules that apply here
The short version. The full statute, notice rules and licensing detail are on the Illinois pages.
In Illinois the governing body is a condominium association and the person running it day to day is a licensed CAM. Proposals from companies that work here use those words; one that does not is usually a company entering the market rather than operating in it.

Licensing detailQuestions Boards in Grand Boulevard ask
How much do Management Companies charge in Grand Boulevard?
We do not have enough verified proposals in Grand Boulevard to publish a local median, and we will not estimate one. The regional benchmark above puts a under 100 units community in Illinois at about $16–$21 per unit per month — roughly $1000–$1.2k a month at that size — and that is a modelled figure for the region, not a measurement of Grand Boulevard. Nationally, published industry sources put community association management at $10 to $20 per unit per month, rising to about $50 for premium or full-service arrangements, with onboarding fees anywhere from $2,000 to $30,000. Your actual number depends on unit count, service scope, and how much sits outside the base fee — which is exactly what a competitive round answers.
How many companies will actually bid in Grand Boulevard?
Grand Boulevard is 2 miles from New City, and Management Companies work in radii rather than city limits, so the practical field here is set by who will drive it. The live number at the top of this page is how many have declared coverage of Grand Boulevard today. Where a field is thin we say so in your report rather than presenting two proposals as a market survey.
Is a license required to manage an association in Illinois?
Illinois requires community association managers to be licensed through IDFPR, with 20 hours of pre-license education. Illinois licensing in detail
Why don't you list Management Companies on this page?
A ranked list is the product every other site in this category sells, and the ranking is usually for sale. We take no advertising and no company can pay for placement. Why we work this way
How do we compare proposals that are quoted differently?
A per-door quote, a flat monthly quote and a percentage-of-budget quote describe three different things, and cannot be compared as written. BoardMatch normalizes all three and projects three years of total cost. How the comparison is built
Will companies start calling us, and what does this cost?
No calls: a company sees your scope and never your name, phone or email until your Board asks. Nothing at any stage for Boards — the company a Board selects pays one match fee. Pricing
