  • The Tennis courts have had a key card system installed. It became active on Monday, August 22, 2022. Please see the Tennis section on the Amenities Page for more information.
  • The clubhouse is available for rentals please check the Amenities page for more information.

  • The 2023 HOA statements have been sent.  Dues increased $20 per home as noted in the newsletter that went out in October.  The association fees haven’t increased in over 15 years, the cost of living has gone up, and the neighborhood is over 30 years old and needs some updates.  The payment is due on January 1, 2023.  Late fees are currently being charged if you haven’t paid your yearly dues.   In addition, amenities access, clubhouse, tennis, and pool, will be restricted if the dues are not paid in full.  There was a 2/15/23 grace period due to many homeowners not getting their statements in a timely fashion from USPS.  If you still have not received your statement, or can’t get into the CMA site below, please contact Leslie Sayers.  Her contact information is:  lsayers@cmacommunities or 404-835-9215.

How Does Your Property measure up?

Improving your own home’s landscaping enhances the community’s overall curb appeal.  A variety of factors contribute to curb appeal:  neatly groomed shrubs, weed-free turf, cleanly edged sidewalks and driveways, and colorful flowerbeds.  Desirable neighborhoods are ones that have noticeable pride of ownership with homes and landscapes that are well maintained.  If property values are important to you, then these things should be important to you.  How does your property measure up?

If you would like to review our guidelines, please refer to our covenants which are available on this website under the Rules and Covenants page. We have listed the most common violations below.

CLEAN UP LIST

Gutters: should be free of leaves and pine needles.

Beds: raked of leaves and fallen twigs and refreshed pine straw or mulch.

Bushes: evenly pruned and not covering up any portion of your windows. .

Fences: replace any broken slats and pressure wash if need be.

Fresh Pines straw and Mulch: needs to be placed in all flowering beds especially in flowering beds to tree rings where the dirt is exposed and/or the ground covered is faded or worn.

Pressure washing: Due to the excessive amounts of rain in the past many homes are in need of pressure washing. Please make arrangements to have your homes/driveways/sidewalks pressure washed.

Weed Control: During Summer, we have seen many weeds popping up. Please have your yard chemically treated for weed control. Please do not wait for the weeds to come in and infest your yards.

Street Parking: Is strictly prohibited- this poses a danger to the residents of the community. Emergency vehicles and School buses cannot safely navigate through the community. Please park in your garages and your driveways. Automobiles and non-commercial trucks and vans shall be parked only in the garage or in the driveway serving the unit. No overnight street parking is allowed in the community.

Garbage Cans: They are not to be placed in front of the garage or by the curbs. They are to be placed in the most inconspicuous area as possible either behind your fence, inside your garage or behind the hedge beside your home.  For pick up: they can be placed out by the curb the night before service but must be brought in the night of service. IF YOU ARE STORING YOUR GARBAGE CAN IN VIEW OF THE STREET YOU ARE IN VIOLATION. We recommend building a partition or enclosure as many residents have done in the community. Please have approved beforehand.

Exterior Projects: Tree removal, fence, major landscaping, house painting, and pools are just a few examples of work that needs DRC Approval BEFORE the start of the project. Please contact the property manager or the DRC Committee for the DRC forms.  Please submit to the DRC Committee for approval.

Mailboxes: Please make sure you maintain your mailboxes.  EX: clean, painted, NO MISSING NUMBERS.

Pet Owners: Have your dog and enjoy your dog… but always be mindful of the dog’s behavior. For harmony, take steps to control wandering pets and /or excessive barking. In regard to dogs, they are not allowed OUTSIDE without a leash unless in a fenced in yard.  If you spot a dog wandering loose (it could be from another area, no way of knowing) or if the barking goes on and on for long periods feel free to call Animal Control. Also, please utilize the pet stations and pick up after your pets!

Artificial Vegetation:  No artificial flowers, plants, etc. are allowed in the community. 

Please also remember to respect our amenities. No driving on the grass, no fishing in the lake, no littering. Please also remember not to store vehicles or anything else on the common property. The parking lot is strictly for clubhouse rentals, playground, and pool use.
