Welcome to Medford Commons
Welcome to Medford Commons!
On behalf of the Medford Commons Home Owners Association Board of Directors and the other homeowners residing within the Commons, we welcome you to our community. Over the coming months we look forward to meeting you, whether it be walking into one of the ten courts along Barnstable Drive, meeting you during one of our outdoor community gatherings, or simply out and about in historic downtown Medford along Main Street.
The operation of your homeowners association is governed by a board of volunteer members who live in various courts and oversee different functions of the Commons. There are ten Board members who are elected on a staggered basis by the community. Elections are held at the annual homeowners meeting in November. The Board is responsible for overseeing the daily functions and financial responsibilities of the Association, and for maintaining members’ compliance with the established rules and guidelines. Please take the time to familiarize yourself with the Association Declarations and Bylaws.
A monthly Board meeting is held on the second Monday of each month at the Meyer Building within the Village Greene business office on Himmelien Road. All homeowners are invited. Due to meeting space limitations, if you plan to attend please notify the board via email: [email protected]
As you navigate the community website - artifacts for improving your property can be found in the repository section along with information regarding the Commons and surrounding areas. Upcoming activities, events, announcements, a community calendar, Declarations and By-laws, architectural review forms, and volunteer committee information can all be found here.
Please take a few minutes to visit and familiarize yourself with this resource and to get to know your community. The website provides frequently asked questions and answers to most standard inquiries homeowners have. For those seeking guidance and responses to questions you may have on topics that require Board approval we encourage you to use our Feedback form
Please keep in mind, the Association has an Architectural Review Committee to help maintain the quality of our neighborhood. Its function is to evaluate the plans for all exterior landscaping, repairs and remodeling (such as painting, installing decks, fences, gutters, removal of trees and bushes, replacement roofs, windows, generators, solar panels etc.) in order to ensure compliance with all covenants, restrictions and guidelines. The purpose of this review is to protect our scenic environment and maintain the value of our homes. Modifications to the exterior of your home and property must be submitted to the Architectural Control Committee for approval before any work begins. If work is started without prior approval, the homeowner may be required to alter or remove the changes.
We know you’ll find this neighborhood is a great place to live, interact, and we encourage you to get to know one another in-person and through the online features of our website.
Sincerely,
Board of Directors
Medford Commons Homeowners Association
