I am a new resident of Parkwood Ranch; I just moved in a few months ago. When I looked at homes in PR a few months ago, the thing that attracted me was the appearance of a nicely kept neighborhood. Well, that is long past (quickly I might add).
Recently, I have noticed neighbors of PR not caring for their property at the least, to just downright disrespecting PR rules and regulations for a neighborhood we all expect through our quarterly dues and regulations we are expected to follow.
I am very disappointed in the lack of enforcement through our HOA and can't believe what I see on a daily basis from carefree neighbors in the care of their own property (investment) not to mention their selfish lack of respect for their fellow investors (neighbors).
I am questioning why we pay a dues if there is not going to be any type of enforcement through representation of our HOA in PR. I am considering taking a full page ad within local newspapers with evidence of lack of interest in both carefree neighbors and what appears to be an absent HOA that is only interested in accepting quarterly dues.
Where is our representation, where is our neighborhood investment protection, where is the neighborhood that attracted me to the area?
Please share your constructive views and concerns. Something needs to be done!!! I am tired of looking at junkie cars parked in the streets and untidy yards, to just downright lazy people not caring properly for the rules they agreed to before purchasing their home at their title company. why aren't our local real-estate agents (J. Self, etc.) looking into their own interests of improving the neighborhood promised, but now lost???
With that stated, is it really necessary for a 3-4 bedroom home to have 5 cars with a 3 car garage? is it really necessary to drive your ATVs through our parkways and residential streets? is it necessary to race your project car (hobby) up and down our streets in a 25mph zone putting fellow neighbors and children in danger? is it necessary to leave your blue and black trash cans in the street for 48-72 hours past pickup? The list could go on and on.
Where is our HOA on these matters I witness on a daily occurrence? I'm positive I am not the only PR resident who agrees (albeit upset), but is truly disgusted with the lackluster performance of our HOA here in PR. We are all busy and all work and have families. I'm not looking for excuses or sympathy as to why some neighbors refuse to respect themselves and others. I am only interested in concrete resolutions that I assumed were part of my quarterly dues as a PR resident and home-owner.
