Hidden Hills Community Association

What Hidden Hills Community Association does

Hidden Hills Community Association (HHCA) is a private, non-profit homeowners association founded around 1950 and headquartered at 24549 Long Valley Road, Hidden Hills, California. It governs and maintains the gated equestrian community of Hidden Hills, an incorporated city (since October 19, 1961) along the western foothills of the San Fernando Valley at the Los Angeles–Ventura County border. The Association serves approximately 658 home sites and nearly 2,000 residents, overseeing construction and modification approvals across all properties, maintaining six miles of private roads, three gatehouses, 25 miles of bridle trails, three riding arenas (Saddle Creek, Spring Valley, Lewis & Clark), three tennis courts, four pickleball courts, a competition-size pool, a recreation center, and a 99-seat performing arts/movie theater.

The Association is funded through recurring annual HOA assessments paid by member property owners, supplemented by ancillary fees (e.g., $250 custom name sign installation, $57 mailbox with post, and architectural application fees per a schedule adopted September 19, 2024). Specific assessment amounts are not publicly disclosed. Membership is automatic upon property ownership within the community; there is no traditional sales motion. Operational technology is limited to a Proptia-powered cloud-based access control system managing resident transponders and guest credentials at the three gatehouses (Round Meadow, Burbank, Long Valley), plus a Squarespace-hosted website and a monthly email newsletter called The Roundup.

Governance is provided by a seven-member volunteer Board of Directors elected from the membership, supported by volunteer committees (Architectural, Equestrian Services, Gate Operations, Parks & Recreation, Theater, Landscape) and a small on-site management team (approximately 10–15 staff including the General Manager Erin Tudron, Operations Manager Stefany Tristan, Administration Manager Karen Liebrecht, an Administrative Assistant, Front Desk, Architectural Administrator, and Architectural Consultant) plus approximately 19 security personnel (Security Manager Guy Hartson, 3 traffic guards, 5 patrol officers, 10 gate guards). The Association operates independently from the City of Hidden Hills, which handles municipal services, creating a dual governance structure.

Expansion highlights2 records

Broad incumbents

• FirstService Residential: The largest residential property management company in North America, managing thousands of HOAs and condominium associations including many luxury California communities. It represents the scaled, outsourced management model that Hidden Hills (which manages itself) is benchmarked against.
• The Irvine Company: Operates the master-planned City of Irvine, including extensive amenities, architectural review, and community governance across tens of thousands of homes. Comparable as a large-scale planned California community with rigorous design standards and amenitized lifestyle.
• Associa: One of the largest HOA and community association management firms in the U.S., serving thousands of residential communities including luxury and master-planned developments across California. Comparable as the outsourced alternative to in-house HOA governance.

Others

• Proptia: Named technology partner powering Hidden Hills' cloud-based gate access control system. As a residential access control vendor serving gated communities, Proptia is a direct enabling partner — its platform is critical infrastructure for the Association's security and resident entry operations.
• Dwelling Live: Listed as an integration partner on the Hidden Hills website (community.dwellinglive.com), it is a community management software platform used by HOAs for resident communications, access, and amenity management. Comparable as the technology backbone that powers HOA member engagement.

Direct peers

• Heritage Ranch Community Association: Gated recreational and equestrian-oriented community association in California. Comparable to Hidden Hills in offering member-based access to trails, arenas, and shared amenities funded by recurring assessments.
• Rolling Hills Community Association: Manages the gated equestrian community of Rolling Hills on the Palos Verdes Peninsula — also developed by A.E. Hanson, the same developer as Hidden Hills. It is the closest geographic and conceptual peer, with similar equestrian lifestyle, gated access, architectural controls, and luxury homeowner base.
• Coto de Caza Community Association: Large gated private community in Orange County, California, with ~4,000 homes, extensive amenities, equestrian facilities, and strong architectural controls. Comparable as a Southern California gated, amenity-rich community association with active governance structure.
• Bradbury Estates Community Association: Governs the gated, ultra-luxury Bradbury community in the San Gabriel Valley — a small enclave of estate properties with strict architectural controls and private infrastructure. Comparable to Hidden Hills in scale (~700 acres of estates) and exclusivity, though with less equestrian emphasis.

Regional players

• Calabasas HOA / City of Calabasas: Adjacent luxury community in the same western San Fernando Valley/Las Virgenes region with similar celebrity-rich homeowner base and rural-ranch character. Comparable geography and buyer demographic, though larger and less gated than Hidden Hills.
