A Neighborhood Association is a not-for profit corporation that has been established by a Declarant
(typically the developer(s) of the neighborhood). John Wieland Homes and Neighborhoods envisioned
an environment where families are living amongst each other sharing in camaraderie. The Declarant
builds amenities and formulates a landscaping plan that will enhance the appearance of the Neighborhood.
This peripheral view is typically one of the reasons you chose to live in a neighborhood. The
Neighborhood Association is responsible for the maintenance and upkeep of these amenities as well as all
of the common areas, which include the landscaping. Your Neighborhood Association exists for the sole
benefit of its members, the homeowners of the Neighborhood. Through its governing documents, the
Association manages the administration of the organization, provides for maintenance of its common
areas, maintains insurance of both property (within the common area) and liability, and facilitates the
covenant management – a key to achieving protection of home values in your Neighborhood.
