Deed Restrictions

Posted in: Stonefield Maintenance Corporation
I am very sad to see how this community has developed. When I moved here I thought I was moving to a community that would abide by the Deed Restrictions. Every new homeowner that purchased a home from Benchmark signed a waiver promising to abide by the deed restrictions. Second home buyers should of been given a waiver from their attorneys at settlement.

In the last couple of years several petitions have circulated through the community suggesting several changes. How many times are we going to go through this exercise?

We have deed restrictions for a reason. Having deed restrictions maintains real estate values and makes our community a desired place to live. Thats why several homes have sold in the high $400's and even the low $500's. How long will this last if we change the structure of our community?

Deed Restrictions

AMEN! I agree with your email all the way. That is exactly why we moved here also. If there are those who oppose the restrictions so much, why did they move here?????????????????? They had to sign the deed restriction letter just like everyone else. They were aware of the restrictions before they ever signed a contract.
Clean up aged properties

All of the people in the neighborhood who are so concerned about the people who are not adhering to the deed restrictions and are worried about your property values need to take a walk around the neighborhood and look at the declining appearances of some of the aged homes in the rear of the neighborhood. There are several properties along the back of Olivine Circle that either have junk piled in their yards or faded facades. This may not be a violation of your beloved deed restrictions, but it will affect our property values. Shouldn't someone be concerned about these eyesores as well? If you are that concerned about having a home worth $400-$500 thousand, you should have moved to Hockessin. I mean, after all, this is Townsend. Really.

Regarding Bridgets response...

As I read this statement, what I get from it is Bridget is stating that if a person wants to live in a home valued at over 400k that they should have moved to Hockessin and not Townsend...If I am reading this accurately I have to believe that Bridget isn't the owner of the home she resides in, because I find it hard to believe that someone wouldn't want to live in a neighborhood dedicated to increasing the value of the property they own...If Bridget isn't looking to increase her property value I believe that maybe she shouldn't have moved to Townsend, but instead moved into Newark...I agree with the deed restrictions...I knew of all of the restrictions prior to moving into this neighborhood...My opinion is like it or leave it...If you don't like what is in place then move...Maybe we should start a petition that there should be no more petitions...Anyone agree?
