*Actual mailbox is slightly different from the above picture. \u00a0You can see an actual version of the mailbox currently installed at over 241 homes in Waterside.<\/p>\n

IMPORTANT NOTICE: \u00a0The original date to replace your mailbox was December 31, 2015. \u00a0Due to a vast amount of feedback from homeowners who recognized the value this program has on our neighborhood, we amended the date to December 31, 2014. \u00a0At the time of our decision, 209 homeowners (75% of neighborhood) had already converted to the new mailbox and constant feedback implored the board to act to move this program along faster. \u00a0As a result, we communicated a change in date in April 2014 and offered another discount off the purchase price at the same time. \u00a0Read below for details that lead to the creation of this program.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Program Information<\/strong><\/p>\n

Mailboxes are a key architectural element of a community. Poorly maintained mailboxes, or mismatched mailboxes, lower home values and steer potential residents away from properties, even if the homes are stunning! \u00a0Well-kept mailboxes say “stop and look.” Everyone in the community benefits from this simple upgrade.<\/p>\n

We had\u00a05 styles of mailboxes in Waterside. \u00a0These mailboxes were all installed during original construction by two different builders over 10 phases of construction, some dating back 15 years (Yes, the first phase of our neighborhood was started in 1997!). \u00a0\u00a0And, as most of you have noticed, the vast majority of our mailboxes are in bad shape. \u00a0Many are missing numbers, have deteriorating exteriors, and\/or have broken latches, doors, and flags. \u00a0(Many of you have received violation notices related to these issues and have found the mailboxes expensive to repair.) \u00a0We have also had numerous\u00a0homeowners ask to upgrade their mailboxes over the past 14 years due to these ongoing maintenance issues and high repair costs but they have been denied because the covenants require us to maintain a neighborhood standard.<\/p>\n

Issues with our current mailboxes include:<\/strong><\/p>\n
