The Hidden Valley Foundation is a large
homeowner association (HOA) which comprises Hidden Valley and the 1185 homes within its boundaries. The community is governed by an elected board of directors and is managed by a professional staff. The Hidden Valley Foundation provides the community with services including private roads, grounds maintenance, security, social and recreational programs, amenities (pools, tennis courts,
pickleball courts, play grounds, parks, trails, the Mountain Metric Bike Race, and others), architectural control and enforcement of the conditions, covenants, and restrictions (CCRs) to maintain the HOA. Formally, Hidden Valley Foundation and the Hidden Valley Resort were the combined operation of a single entity, Hidden Valley Resorts, a management subsidiary of Kettler Brothers of Maryland. The developer's control was sunsetted per legal declaration, and as of January 1, 2020, and the community of Hidden Valley through the Hidden Valley Foundation became a self-governing community. The
Hidden Valley Resort, a
ski resort now owned by Vail Resorts, Inc., is located within the community, but is not part of the Hidden Valley Foundation (the HOA) along the southern side of
Pennsylvania Route 31. The
Pennsylvania Turnpike (Interstates
70/
76) is within a few miles of the community, which lies in the
Laurel Highlands. ==Climate==
