The Board of Directors recognizes members who go above and beyond in the upkeep of their villa within our community. These members are examples of the potential each home has when it is well maintained and also helps keep property values high which benefits everyone in the community. Their efforts really make our community a very desirable place to live.
The home chosen for the 2nd Quarter of 2017 belongs to Daniel & Nakita Morales who live on 110th ST CIR E and are new to the community. Mr. & Mrs. Morales had a huge task ahead of them when they bought their home at the beginning of this year. The previous owner had allowed the unit to fall into disrepair and it had been that way for years. Once Mr. & Mrs. Morales purchased the home, they immediately went to work to repair the unit exterior. It was by no means an easy task as they had to deal with rotten wood, rear fence, exterior painting, driveway, windows and roof issues as well as other headaches and when they were done with all of that, they re-landscaped the property. They also did not have much time to spare as Mrs. Morales was expecting. Thanks to all of their hard work, their unit is now unrecognizable from its former self. On June 10th, 2017 the Board President & Director presented the Devon-Aire Villas #1: Villa of The Quarter award in recognition of outstanding landscaping and villa upkeep as well as a $50 Cheesecake Factory gift card to Mr. & Mrs. Morales. The Board of Directors wishes to thank you both for all the hard work you have put into your villa and wish to congratulate you on the new addition to your family. We are proud to have you in the community.

Be Alert / Don't Ignore Suspicious Behavior
June 02, 2017
Devon-Aire Villas # 1 Homeowners Association
This is an important reminder to our members and residents in the community to please stay vigilant. With summer now upon us, it's even more important to stay alert for any suspicious activity that may be occurring around our homes & community. Already we have received two emails from alert residents regarding suspicious individuals going door to door pretending to offer a service of some kind, but in reality is most likely individuals scoping out potential homes to burglarize. In these situations, we encourage members to call Police to have them check things out and escort them off the property which is what these member did. It is important for members to realize that we have signs posted at all our entrances stating that anyone found soliciting or proselytizing door to door within our community is trespassing and can be asked to leave the property by any member of the community or can be reported to the Board & Property Manager by either texting or leaving voicemail at (305) 859-1462. The reason is simple. We just have no way of knowing who these individuals are or their real intentions. If any resident sees suspicious individuals after hours in the guest parking or common areas we also ask that you call Police. Already we have had a couple of trees on Park West damaged by trespassers after hours.
We have also received a report by an alert resident in Circle South that someone tried to steal the rims off of their car. She was able to frighten the thieves away by turning the car alarm using her remote and immediately called Police. Car rim thefts are up in Miami Dade County and residents need to take defensive measures to protect their cars. Residents with expensive rims should have wheel locks installed and never leave the wheel lock key in the glove compartment or trunks because that's the first place they always look. Also, turn the wheels of your car once you have parked. This makes the tires that much harder to remove especially with wheel locks. Local 10 news had a report on the subject here.
Lastly, with school nearly out, car hopping is sure to return to the area. Please make sure you leave your cars locked at all times and never leave any valuables in your car. These individuals tend to always go through unlocked cars because it attracts less attention. If you see individuals going house to house and checking out cars, call Police right away.
