The Parkways

We noticed that, although it's prohibited, several of the homes in the Alder and Sycamore communities have modified parkways, so it appears we have yet another major rule that the developer-controlled HOA has not enforced.  

This is another important one for us since the development is too densely populated to allow for such a high level of homeowner personalization.  From our perspective, a high level of personalization without adherence to an aesthetic standard in a community in which homes are located so closely together, combined with the fact that the HOA is not enforcing required garage usage (leading to a number of vehicles in the respective driveways), has led to a development that feels increasingly chaotic and cluttered.  

It was inconceivable to us that there were HOAs that did not enforce their own CC&Rs- one of the Board's most basic responsibilities!  This is most certainly not what we thought we thought were buying into and we are convinced that our respective property values will steadily decline given Management's failure (and apparent refusal!) to maintain aesthetic standards and enforce the rules of the community's governing documents.
