I own a townhouse, and the association takes care of all the exterior maintenance, including: mowing, trimming, shoveling, edging, plantings, roof, painting, siding, driveways, etc. My assessment also includes water, sewage, and garbage.

Basically I only have to take care stuff from the drywall in. It's definately worth it if you don't have time, or don't want to be bothered.
