MAINTENANCE AND UPKEEP The Board of Directors and management work hard to keep our association in top condition.

In the last several years we have replaced old sewer lines, renovated the odd side pool, replaced the messy plum trees along the street, modified existing wrought iron balcony railings, and revised our governing documents. We also replaced the old hot water recirculating lines on all buildings and have added replacement of copper plumbing to our reserve study.

In 2017 we started replacement of the wood shingle mansard shakes, an $80,000 project that continues into 2018. Also this year, we completed $50,000 in repairs to balconies and siding and resealed/striped the 2039-2045 parking lot.

In 2019 we completed the first phase of the flat roofs. Phase II is scheduled for 2020.

In 2020 we completed the second phase of the flat roofs and continued to upgrade our landscaping.

In 2022 we are completing the exterior painting of the associaiton as well as major tree work thourghout the association.

You are moving into a community that truly cares about our property and it shows. We are proud that we have been able to fund all of this work within our existing operating budget and reserve funding plan without the need for a special assessment.
