Sub-wide Garage Sale
Date not yet established.
Association Dues
Our annual dues pay for various association expenses such as water, electricity, flowers, and maintaining the common areas of the subdivision, which include the entrances and the cul-de-sacs. Holiday lights, general liability insurance, gift baskets for new owners, sprinkler and lighting repairs are a few other items which are covered. The subdivision is an older one and some of the more expensive repairs include tree replacement and mailbox repairs. A payment letter regarding the mandatory annual dues is sent In November each year asking that the dues be paid by December 31st of that year. An accounting of how the dues are spent is sent along with the dues slip. The treasurer is responsible for sending out and collecting the dues each year. The board strives to keep the dues low and our dues are on the low end if you compare with other similar subs.
Board Meetings/Volunteers
The Board of Directors for the subdivision association meets periodically throughout the year. The meetings are generally scheduled in the evenings at Board Member homes on the second Monday of the month beginning in April and ending in November. If you are interested in attending a meeting, please contact any Board member in advance of the meeting to confirm the date, time and location of the meeting. The association generally holds an annual meeting in the fall of the year. If not interested in being on the Board, there are usually opportunities for volunteers to do special projects as needed.
Trash and Yard Waste
Garbage needs to be out by 7 AM on collection day which is Monday for our neighborhood. Refuse should be placed at the curb no sooner than 5 pm on the preceding day. Containers should be removed as soon as possible, but no later than 24 hours after pick up.
Yard waste is picked up starting the first full week of April. At that time, all soft yard waste will be picked up at curbside if it is in a 35-gallon (or less) regulation-size container with a YARD WASTE decal or homemade sign. A 30-gallon brown paper bag (sold at hardware stores, Meijer, Home Depot, etc.) may also be used.
Brush (bushes) or branches less than 2" diameter and less than 3' long need to be bundled, tied and weigh less than 60 pounds for pick up at curbside.
Toxic and hazardous waste such as unused paint, oil, etc. may be dropped off by city residents (with a driver’s license or proof of residence) at SOCCRA (995 Coolidge Hwy, Troy) with an appointment. Call 248-288-5150 or go to https://www.socrra.org. SOCCRA also accepts other items including computers and old television sets.
Uncover the Storm Drains at curbside
If you live by one of the many storm drains located on the edge of the streets in our neighborhood, please take the time to remove any obstructions such as accumulated leaves. The storm drains can be obstructed with debris that inhibits the free flow of water into them whether from melting snow or spring rains.
Newly planted trees and pines are thirsty!
Newly planted trees and pines are thirsty! With the warm temperatures that Michigan has been experiencing, it is wise to safeguard your investment by deeply watering your new shrubs/trees.
One of the landscape companies that the Board employs has strongly advised us to inform homeowners that the newly planted trees as well as other landscape trees need deep watering weekly to stay healthy and survive the heat. The Arborist says that each new tree needs a slow trickle of water for at least one hour once a week.
We would like you to help us to keep neighborhood trees healthy. Trees and landscape is installed to provide a measure of privacy, add beauty and to reduce road noise as well as creating a welcoming neighborhood lush with greenery. .

The current subdivision directory was prepared and distributed in 2019. The Board is working on a new updated directory for 2025.
Uneven Sidewalk Sections
It appears the City of Troy will conduct some sidewalk replacements in front of subdivision homes that could be a tripping hazard during 2025.
MDOT Installation of Traffic Noise Barrier
In 2024 the Michigan Department of Transportation approved the installation of a traffic noise barrier along the north side of Square Lake Rd. from Crooks Rd. to Coolidge Rd. similar to a barrier on the South side. Hoping this would be done this year but understand the work will be in 2026.
