Finally. Condo Management That Actually Feels Simple.
Tired of juggling spreadsheets, endless emails, and clunky software just to manage your Chicago condo? Community Manager is the simple, modern, and neighborly platform born in Ravenswood, built specifically for self-managed associations like yours.
Born in Ravenswood. Built for Your 3-Flat.
We're not some giant, faceless tech company from a coast far away. We're your neighbors.
Community Manager was founded by a Ravenswood condo board president who was "stuck in those late-night meetings" and knew there had to be a "simpler, more human way" to manage a multi-million dollar asset (your homes!) than with a "messy spreadsheet and a free email account."
We are built for the "Strategic Missing Middle" of Chicago's housing: the 2-flats, 3-flats, 6-flats, and vintage walk-ups in neighborhoods like Lincoln Square, North Center, Lakeview, and Ravenswood.
Stop Drowning in Spreadsheets. Find Your Flow.
The problem with "management by spreadsheet" isn't just that it's messy—it's that it forces your brain to work in 12 different tabs.
Our "Flow" Interface is different. Inspired by the simple, card-based design of modern apps, "Flow" brings everything to you. A work order isn't just a spreadsheet row—it's a living *card* that holds the request, the conversation, the invoice, and the payment status, all in one clean view.

Don't Just Take Our Word For It
"Before Community Manager, I was the 'spreadsheet treasurer' for our 6-flat in Lincoln Square. It was a nightmare of VLOOKUPs and manual bank reconciliation. The QuickBooks Sync alone saved me 10 hours a month. I finally have my Tuesday nights back."— Sarah J., Board Treasurer, Lincoln Square 6-Flat
"Our 4-unit building in Ravenswood is a multi-million dollar asset, and we were managing it with Gmail. The 'Flow' system made handling a recent roof leak so simple. I could see the resident's photo, the roofer's quote, and the board's vote all in one place."— Mike B., Board President, Ravenswood 4-Flat
