In France it's usually limited to a single building or a few building built at the same time, and usually called a "copropriété". People can have their vote if they own their appartment. They decide things like "don't hang dry your clothes on the balcony", "don't change the way window blinds look", "here are the trees that we're going to plant in the park", "this is how garbage is handled", "should we have an employee taking care of cleaning and garbage, or should we use an exterior service?". They usually work mostly fine.

Edit: a sibling comment mentionned something about a village where you can't freely change the color of your blinds. We also have that, usually on the municipal level, to preserve heritage/the way a place look. For example, some communes from the "Pays des Pierres Dorées" have strict rules about this https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pierres_dor%C3%A9es
