Dear Neighbor,

Welcome!

We hope you will enjoy living in Sand Lake Hills. Our neighborhood (built during the 1970s and 80s) is one of the most sought after neighborhoods in Southwest Orange County. Why? First of all, our homes are on large well established lots. Secondly, our houses are well built--energy-efficient designs using concrete block construction with thick coatings of Stucco. Thirdly, because we have a very active homeowners association that is aggressively pursuing the protection, upkeep, and improvement of our neighborhood.

Our neighborhood boasts a high standard of education provided by the Dr. Phillips Area Schools. We have a great YMCA, convenient shopping, quality health care and a low-crime/safe environment in which to live and raise a family. Sand Lake Hills is a friendly neighborhood. Many residents have discovered new lasting friendships in our neighborhood.

Our Homeowners Association participates actively at the County level to improve and protect our quality of life. Our Association Officers, Board of Directors, and Committees, are working hard to make Sand Lake Hills the neighborhood it should be. Representatives from our Board attend meetings and public hearings on issues that impact our neighborhood such as Sheriff Kevin Beary's Homeland Security Program (formerly Neighborhood Watch), Code Enforcement Hearings, and the Orange County Homeowners Association. The Board is also researching and applying for grants from Orange County and others to help defray the costs of improving our entrances and common areas.

A major benefit of our Association and living in Sand Lake Hills is our Security Patrol. Our member dues make it possible for the HOA to employ an off-duty Orange County Deputy to provide additional security in our neighborhood.

Over the past year, our property values have been increasing and our neighborhood's appearance has been improving. This is a direct result of the efforts of our three most important committees, Landscaping, Architectural Control, and Code Enforcement. As we are a deed restricted community, the Architectural Control and Code Enforcement committees enforce the recorded Deed Restrictions, while the Landscaping committee works to improve the "curb appeal" of our community. The HOA uses the services of the Orange County Code and Zoning Departments as well as our own legal counsel to enforce the "C&R's.

Our HOA also publishes a newsletter, provides this website, and holds monthly Board meetings(which are open to all members) to keep residents informed about our community.
