We
would like to have all residents
embrace this thought in all
activities related to this
community.
Over
the last 12-24 months we have seen
our house values climb rapidly. Our
neighborhood is an older and mature
neighborhood with sound
construction, beautiful, mature
trees and well maintained
landscaping which makes it a
favorite for buyers. The addition
of an elementary school within
walking distance adds that much more
to the potential value of our
neighborhood, but a poor appearance
can depreciate property values
quickly.
Each of us must be aware of our own
property and the upkeep needed to
maintain those values – please don’t
be a last minute repair hound and
let the property deteriorate until
you are ready to sell. Consider
your neighbors who might be selling
today and how their sale price makes
your property values climb for when
you want to sell.
Spring inspections have been
completed and mailed to owners –
please take the time to make the
repairs so all of our homes look
that much more attractive.
As
far as everyday items – please
remove junk, trash, garbage cans,
recycle bins, toys, bicycles, lawn
mowers and the like from the front
yard or porch – store them out back,
out of sight.
Ask
your children to bring in their
paper trash from the ‘Ice Cream Man’
rather then just dropping it on
common ground.
All of these small steps can help
improve the appearance of our
community.
A
group of eight volunteers came out
on a cool Saturday morning to pick
up trash, paint the street light
poles on many streets and work the
areas along our property line.
This was a small group and they
could have used your help. Since
you couldn’t get out on Saturday –
please go out every day and help the
community appearance by picking up
around your home and keeping the
community neat and orderly.
