This is a five year old neighborhood so is it too late to ask the developer for help??? I have only been here a year - had I been here from day one I would have been very active to get the problem resolved.
Curious if this is common in TV or something peculiar in our backyards???

This problem is very common. Solution: get together w/ neighbor and install a French drain - it's the ONLY permanent way to solve the problem. One of the many construction boo-boos in TV!
