Hurricane Matthew Preparations

Given the current projected path of Hurricane Matthew, which is moving towards South Florida, forecast models generally project it to pass very close to us, but that could change quickly and at the very least we can expect substantial rain and wind as it passes by us.  We hope that members have taken precautions early by securing their homes and any exterior items such as lawn furniture, garbage/recycle containers and any other loose items that can become projectiles are put away.  Any resident having any questions or concerns about issues in the community that relate to the coming storm are asked to contact us or the property manager.  The Board of Directors and Property Manager have gone through the community several times this week to ensure that any unauthorized bulk trash placed outside of homes was removed by homeowners before the storm arrives to ensure the safety of our membership. Members of the Board will be on hand after the storm passes to check for any possible damage caused by the storm.  This Friday's curbside garbage collection has been cancelled according to MDC Emergency Operations Center, service will resume on Tuesday, October 11th.  Please keep informed and up to date by periodically checking Miami Dade County's EOC located at: http://www.miamidade.gov/emergency/ or Nextdoor.com.

Villa of the Quarter: September 2016

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. Ensuring the property values remain high is one of the primary concerns of any HOA and we are no exception. Recent home sales values in the community remain high thanks to the many homeowners that take great care of their property which makes this a very desirable place to live. Homeowners that go above and beyond in the upkeep of their Villa are a big part of that.

The home chosen for the 3rd Quarter of 2016 belongs to Beatriz Hernandez and her mother, Zenaida Castro, who live on 111th LN and have lived in the community for 4 years. Their home has greatly changed since they purchased, with Ms. Hernandez attributing much of the exterior landscaping to her mother. Both have tastefully decorated the outside of their home, giving it extra character. On September 4th, 2016 the Board President & Vice-President presented the Devon-Aire Villas #1: Villa of The Quarter award in recognition of outstanding landscaping and villa upkeep as well as a $50 Cheese Cake Factory gift card to Beatriz Hernandez & Zenaida Castro. The Board of Directors wishes to thank both of them for all the hard work they have put into their villa! We are proud to have you in the community.
