Great post. Very informative.

I will definitely plan on attending a meeting in the future so I can make sure that I am prepared when I eventually submit a request.

I'm pleased to hear they are professional and on top of the issues. Our former HOA/neighborhood in Orlando hit the 12 year mark in 2022 so it is starting to take on that ragged, neglected, "nothing-gets-enforced-anyway" look.

What impressed my wife and I when we first toured/considered the village for our next-25 years home was how "nice" everything looked." Our Village home is a substantial investment and we want to protect that asset for our future.

It is the dedicated volunteer groups like the ARC that help that happen.

Sincerely, thanks for your feedback.
