Kensington Club

What Kensington Club does

Kensington Club is a residential homeowners association (HOA) operating a 248-home subdivision in Plainfield, Illinois, originally developed by Pulte Homes between 2000 and 2004. The HOA serves its member homeowners through community governance — an elected board and committees covering architecture, clubhouse/pool, landscaping, social activities, and website — and delivers shared amenities including a pool, clubhouse, fitness center, playground, soccer fields, and four ponds. Property management operations are outsourced to PSI Specialists, Inc., which handles assessment collection, customer service, and the online payment portal.

The association's core technology is a third-party community website platform provided by HOA Sites (hoa-sites.com), deployed in August 2008. The platform supports a member directory, online payment portal, clubhouse rental and reservations system, event calendar, RSVP management, newsletter archive, classifieds marketplace, photo gallery, and document repository. There are no proprietary technical assets; the stack is a standard HOA-website configuration with no mobile app, no API exposure, and no AI features.

Kensington Club's economic model is membership-based and mandatory. The HOA collects semi-annual assessments of $480 per homeowner (due January 1 and July 1), implying $960 in annual dues per household and approximately $238,080 in gross annual inflow across the 248 homes. Payments are accepted via check, the PSI online portal, or in-person drop-off at the PSI Elgin office (with a $25 processing fee). The HOA is a non-profit membership organization under Illinois jurisdiction, with no external marketing, no investor ownership, and no commercial revenue diversification. Operating activity is steady-state maintenance: scheduled virtual board meetings, an events calendar, recurring newsletter, and an annual meeting with elections.
