The value of our homes continues to go up. Last year, the average price for houses sold was $158 a square foot. The chart below is for our neighborhood.
Some of you may recall that some people claimed that the values would go down because of what we intended to do as a board. The board has done a lot of hard work for our neighborhood, including the work of former president Tina Martinez (as evidenced by the value of our homes). Ms. Martinez passed away a few weeks back.

2024 End-of-Year Financial Report
The amount collected was $23,295
Amount Paid out was$21,388.14
We had a $7,000 expense for an attorney to commence legal action to see if we can obtain title to the lots at the corner of Imogene and Mahoning.
The attorney has also commenced action against three property owners for nonpayment of assessments. But we collected more than we paid in attorney fees; this year, everyone over three years behind on payment will be given one more chance to pay before the account is turned over for collection. If one owes more than $170.15, they will get a second letter from us before their account is sent to the attorney.
Mosquito Spraying
Our neighborhood pays to spray for mosquitos. This does not eliminate all mosquitos, but it does mean fewer. They started this month and will continue weekly until October.
