This study investigates the impact of resident associations on the enhancement of neighborhood infrastructure in Aule residential estate, Akure, Nigeria. A total of 351 questionnaires were distributed to the residents, landlords and tenants who are finan-cial members of the resident association. However, only 248 questionnaires were re-turned, and they were deemed appropriate for analysis. The data was analyzed using a simple descriptive method of percentage and weighted mean score (WMS). Results revealed that resident participation in infrastructure provision and management cor-relates with improved neighborhood facilities such as water, solar power, and security. The study identifies potential benefits for government, non-profit organizations, and other relevant stakeholders, and recommends amendments to local government laws to enable resident associations to contribute maximally to infrastructure provision and management in their neighborhoods.
