Your Guide to Getting Started as a New Homeowner at the Beach Club Town Homes
As a new owner, there are a number of critical things to know.
Things to Know…..
You’re now part of an “HOA”
- This is a community managed by a Homeowners Association (“HOA”) which is responsible for exterior maintenance of the buildings and maintaining the turf around the homes as well as the “common areas” of the community.
- To pay for the maintenance of the property, owners pay monthly dues.
- Information about our HOA is available by clicking on this link
We have a Property Management Company
- Hawthorne Management is the property management company for the HOA.
- They bill owners for the monthly dues and collect payments and pay the HOA’s expenses which include landscape maintenance, property insurance, water, electricity, etc.
- Hawthorne provides the HOA with a Community Manager who manages the day-to-day activities such as collecting monthly HOA dues payments and paying our bills for contractors and utilities, etc.
- For more information on HOA monthly dues, visit this website’s Community Basics – FAQ’s page on HOA Dues
Who is responsible for maintenance?
- The HOA is responsible for the exterior maintenance of the homes in the community
- The community consists of the buildings and a limited amount of ground surrounding the homes and a large amount of what is referred to as “common area” which means it is essentially owned by the community
- The HOA is responsible for the landscaping of the community which includes:
- Mowing, edging and weeding of the turf and periodic pruning of shrubs
- Owners are responsible for the cleanliness of their property
