While the city of Nashua is still categorizing the community as a detached condo association, the governing docs were adjusted in 2011 to more clearly be an HOA rather than a condo association. This means the community is made of individually owned detached single family homes on leased land.
A distinguishing feature of the property is the unspoiled wooded terrain where homes are sited to take advantage of the natural surrounding. All homes are located in clusters (see map) with a mixture of oak, birch and pine trees surrounding each unit.
Undisturbed wooded areas connect all the clusters. These common property areas serve as natural buffers between developed areas.
What is Common Property?
Common Property is comprised of the space that is not taken by the footprint of a home. This includes all ponds, woods, tennis courts, grounds and pools. This land is protected for the benefit of the whole community for today and for the future.
What are the Association Fees?
There are 220 units which pay a range of association fees. The monthly fees were originally calculated based on the size of the unit and have adjusted over time as homeowners increase the size of their home, expand their deck, or build a patio, with permissions from the Board of Directors. Basically, anything that privatizes some of the common land.
Owners are responsible for taking care of all their own home repairs and maintenance, both interior and exterior. Maintenance of owner planted gardens, flowers, or other specialty plants around each of the homes is also the responsibility of the homeowner, with certain restrictions to planting & removal.
Our Association fees go to taking care of:
• Management fees • Common area upkeep • Land lease/insurance • Trash removal
• Recycling pick-up • Maintenance of amenities • Snow plowing • Equipment costs
