Welcome!
The Walnut Grove neighborhood covers an area that roughly includes properties west of North Gammon Road, south of Old Sauk Road, east of Oldfield Road, and north of Millstone Road. Our neighborhood offers access to excellent schools, parks, shopping, and public transportation.
The Walnut Grove Homes Association (WGHA), our homeowners association (HOA), is governed by a Board of Directors, who are volunteers elected for two-year terms at an all-neighborhood annual meeting each January. The Board’s primary responsibility is maintaining and improving greenways that are owned by the HOA. WGHA is responsible for managing these four greenway properties, including asphalt paths that connect streets and circles within the neighborhood. Other WGHA Board responsibilities include enforcing neighborhood covenants and offering neighborhood social events. Board meetings are always open to WGHA residents and usually are held every other month, either in-person or on Zoom. The WGHA Board does not take positions on matters of city policy.
All WGHA households pay an annual assessment. Assessment revenue primarily supports contracted tree management and grass mowing services in the greenways. Other activities, including greenway workdays and social events, rely on volunteers.
All WGHA households should be familiar with the neighborhood covenants on the WGHA website, including restrictions on fences and architectural improvements. An Architectural Control Committee reviews applications for property improvements to ensure that they comply with the covenants. It is important for residents to know their own property boundaries, especially those bordering greenway areas. The greenways are carefully cultivated with native plants and desirable trees. Neighbors may not disturb or alter these areas.
Volunteer Block Captains share information with new neighbors, and provide details on upcoming events.
