At Huffines Communities, we believe that our communities are more than just places to live, they are places to thrive. This year, our dedication to creating well-managed communities was recognized in a big way at the Community Associations Institute (CAI) 2025 Annual Awards Gala. We are proud to share that several of our communities and team members were honored with prestigious awards that reflect their hard work, passion, and commitment to excellence.
