The property owners association is the cornerstone of a planned residential community. It preserves the architectural integrity and maintains the common elements of the community. When properly run, the association promotes the concept of "community" and protects the neighborhood's property values. The association has responsibility for its common elements as well as the management and operation of the association's business affairs, which are all in accordance with the standards established by the governing documents created when our community was first developed. Members of the board of directors of our association serve without compensation.
