Longview Lake Estates

The east park's playground equipment is falling apart. If it is not fixed someone will be hurt and the association will be sued. The parks and right of ways need to be mowed on a regular basis. Last year they were and eye sore to say the least. The association has the money and need to be be used to keep up the neighborhood. It has never looks so bad as it does now with the trash and non-upkeep of the parks and rights of ways. We pay your dues and expect them to be used for these services.
I would also like to know when the next meeting is - several of the homeowners have isses that they would like to address. The major is our parks - Please let me know. We do not want the parks to be the disgrace they were last year this year.

I have only lived in Longview for a few months.  But I am already very disapointed in the parties running the Neiborhood Association. 

I agree with your views on the parks and right of ways.  The west park is a eye sore and the association should be ashamed of this pool area.  It looks worse than any park and pool area in the poorest part of Tulsa.  The east pool apparently gets a lot more money allocated to it than the West pool area.  Why is that?  Does the East side of Mingo contribute more money than the owners on the West side of Mingo?  Even if this is true, with all the money that the association is collecting from the home owners in the lakeview area there should be more than enough money to maintain the parks and pools and right of ways. 

When I first baught my home, I was told that the association fees were for the upkeep and maintance of the parks, pools and the right of ways.  With all the nice homes in this area, the association should be doing more for the neighborhood.  Where is the money from the dues going?  Is this why I am seeing so many homes up for sale in this area now?  If something is not done soon this neighborhood will deteriate to trash.  It seems to be someone is getting their pockets lined a little more than they should. 

Today I was informed that in order for my family to use the East pool area, I would have to pay an additional $150.  WHY?  There are a lot of Neighborhood association in the Tulsa area that do not charge that outragious of a price and they have much nicer areas for parks and pools.  The neighborhood should be banning together and demanding change and accountability.  And doctored up financial reports saying what they want them to say should not suffice.    

My family and I would be glad to get involved If someone would just let me know when and where the meetings are to be held.  This is nothing short of extortion and this community is allowing it.  WHY?  

The probelm is everyone has be get involved, they will not listen to just one or two people.  Tell everyone you know in this neiborhood to have pride in their homes, get involved, and do not allow this to continue.  

Don't be annomous any longer.

 

One of the reasons why we bought our house was because we thought we were going to get to use the pool. We were disappointed when went to the pool and they told us we had to pay that much when we are already paying our quarterly dues. Plus we have more than 5 people in our family and they expected you to pay extra if you have more than 5 people in your family. Plus summer isn't that long to be paying that much to swim.
