As a resident of Bay Hills for 18 years and real estate agent for 25 years, I look forward to getting the prices back up in our neighborhood this year.

Welcome! 

 

Greetings Neighbors,

 

We've continued to have some issues with car and house break-ins. This was the same group from back in February, breaking into homes on Burning Tree, Bay Green, and in Ulmstead. They have since been arrested and are in jail awaiting trial.  Please lock up and be careful. Call 911 if you see anyone suspicious. I can't say it enough: lock doors.

On a more positive note, the board has been working to improve some of the landscaping around the community, including the trees on Bay Hills Drive, which have been removed. We are also having the broken parts of the playground equipment repaired. Parts were ordered the week of June 20, so the equipment should be repaired soon if not already.
 
Have a safe summer, and enjoy!

 

Sincerely,   

 

Paul Cain

BHCA President

BHCA Resale Packets

If you are selling a home in the community, please contact Bay West Management to obtain a resale packet. The packet contains the community's by-laws, covenants, and community regulations. The packet should be furnished to the buyer prior to the property sale closing. Bay West will confirm if there is any balance due on the homeowner's account before releasing the packet.

 

Sellers are expected to clear their BHCA account prior to closing on a home sale. The title company representing the buyer is required by law to research obligations related to a property. These obligations include homeowner association memberships, outstanding dues, liens, etc. To request a resale packet, contact Michelle Boss or Ralph Hudson at Bay West: 410-897-0207.
