Depends on many factors…

If the whole HOA wanted service, then a licensed link could possibly be put in delivering a high capacity circuit 
delivering about 100 Mbps to the subscriber. Price to the customer would vary depending on how the deal is structured 
with the HOA/property management company.

Could also look into getting some fiber delivered and feed it from that.

 Out of pure curiosity, let’s assume they COULD put an antenna on the roof…

What is the service? Bandwidth, latency expectation, cost?

Note that in almost every condominium or apartment complex I have heard of, they do NOT allow roof builds. This is 
why satellite TV in those areas require people to put an antenna on their patio, even if it’s half-blocked.

If they allow antennas on the roof, we can service them :)

Your house, on the other hand, we already lucked out on that one!

You want a specific example?

Friend of mine asked me to help them get better Internet connectivity a few weeks ago.

They live here:
https://www.google.com/maps/place/Meridian+Woods+Condos/@37.3200394,-121.9792261,17.47z/data=!4m5!3m4!1s0x808fca909a8f5605:0x399cdd468d99300c!8m2!3d37.3190694!4d-121.9818295

Just off of I-280 in the heart of San Jose.

I dug and dug, and called different companies.
The only service they can get there is the 768K DSL service they already have with AT&T.

Go ahead.  Try it for yourself.

See what service you can order to those condos.

Heart of Silicon Valley.  

Worse connectivity than many rural areas.   :(
