Living the Condo Life

Hembree Creek is very fortunate to have such a diverse representation among our residents. We have married couples, some families, and alot of singles. We have residents of all ages and multiple ethnicities. This is truly a melting pot right here in Roswell! Along with this diversity, comes some challenges as we may not all share the same lifestyle or schedule.

One of the easiest ways to make condo living a pleasant experience is for everyone to practice the acts of courtesy, consideration, and compassion. Please see the suggested tips below and make a commitment to start practicing them today. Your neighbors will notice and will be much appreciative!

An easy way to show courtesy is just by simply greeting each other. Get to know your neighbors. It’s a great way to make Hembree Creek an inviting community.

Along that same line, if you see a resident struggling with their groceries, offer to lend a hand. If you know a neighbor isn’t feeling well, ask if they need anything while you are at the store, etc… These simple acts of kindness can make a huge impact in the lives of others.

One of the biggest challenges of condo life is living in such close proximity to each other…especially regarding noise. Some of us are late night owls while others are early morning risers. Consider others when making noise at late night or early morning hours. Perhaps you could work out a little earlier so your downstairs neighbors aren’t disturbed, turn down your music or television, wait a bit longer in the morning before running your vacuum, etc… Please note that there is noise ordinance in effect in the City of Roswell. See www.roswellgov.com for details.

Consider turning down your car stereo before entering the property. Not everyone might enjoy your style of music or at the same volume level.

Remember that your voice carries in the breezeways so conversations will most likely be overheard & may be disturbing your neighbors.

Most of our deck doors that lead to the breezeways close on their own…often making a very loud slamming noise that disturbs your neighbors…especially late at night or early in the morning. Consider catching your door & closing it quietly. Your sleeping neighbors will most likely be very grateful!

If you have guests, please ask them to park near the dumpster area, the mailbox area, or in the middle rows in the big parking lot in the back of the property….not located near the building entrances. This will free up close proximity parking for residents.

Parking: Each unit is allowed two vehicles on the property. If you happen to have two cars, instead of occupying two front row parking spaces close to your building entrance, consider parking one of your vehicles further away from the building. Going out of town and leaving your car at home? Consider parking your car away from the building entrance while you are away. This would allow other residents the chance to also park one of their cars in the much coveted front row parking. We have a lot of single women who live in Hembree Creek, who would most likely really appreciate the gesture. Parking is very limited in front of buildings 100 & 200. Therefore, the Board implemented a restricted parking policy that is strictly enforced. (Insert link here to the parking policy & form).

Unfortunately, we cannot afford to employ a full-time grounds keeper. Therefore, we need everyone to do their part to help keep Hembree Creek clean & beautiful. Consider picking up trash that you may see in the parking lot or on the grounds….even if it’s not yours, make sure your trash goes into the dumpster & close the doors, pick up your pet’s waste, etc.

If you do not have a complete set of Hembree Creek’s governing documents, please Documents on this website or contact the Management Company to obtain a copy.

Remember, we are all in this together. The more we all pull together, the more our community will benefit as well as the individuals who choose to live here.
