Who Maintains the Common Areas Around Greenhaven?

I recently received an email from a Greenhaven home owner asking who was in charge of maintaining the landscaping to the south of Greenhaven – between Dublin and the rear fences of some of the homes in Greenhaven. I, too, noticed how unkempt it was.

The Stetson Hills HOA has not been returning calls (as of today), but ultimately I believe it is the job of the city to maintain those areas. However, once I know exactly who is “in charge” of that, I will post it here.

Until then, if you are interested in requesting those areas to be maintained, please call the city:

 719-385-2489 

The more of us who call, the better response we should get.

Greenhaven Real Estate and Living in Greenhaven Sites Have Merged

Dear Readers,

For the past few years, GreenhavenRealEstate.net and LivinginGreenhaven.com have been separate sites. We have decided to merge them into one site.

www.GreenhavenRealEstate.net will take you to this main site, and www.LivingInGreenhaven will take you to the Greenhaven
Community section of this site.

I have pulled most recent articles over to this site, and all future Community-Related articles will now be found under the category: Living in Greenhaven. However, if you are looking for Living in Greenhaven articles written prior to November of 2007, you can still find them on the old site (that we will leave up), located at: www.GreenhavenCommunity.Blogspot.com .

Thank you for being a part of our Greenhaven Community!

Greenhaven Neighborhood: 5 Ways to Deal With Not-So-Great Neighbors

We love the Greenhaven neighborhood. One of the BEST things about Greenhaven is the PEOPLE! There are a lot of great people living in Greenhaven.

However, unfortunately, no matter where you live, you may come across a neighbor that is, well, not-so-great. It happens.

We don’t always get to choose who we live near, and sometimes 2 personalities or lifestyles just don’t mesh. Here are a few tips on dealing with neighbors that may be a little difficult to deal with:

• Try to talk, in person, to the neighbor regarding the “issue.” Maintain your composure. If a neighbor seems to have been offended by something, make sure you apologize for the offense IF, in fact it was something you could have controlled. Or, address a complaint that you have with your neighbor in a non-confrontational way. More times than not, an issue with a neighbor is stemmed from a simple misunderstanding.
• Do NOT argue with your neighbor. Even if you cannot resolve the issue with a conversation, please do not argue. This will only make your living situation more hostile than it needs to be. Sometimes we can’t be buddy-buddy with your neighbors, but there is no need to make them enemies.
• Report illegal behavior to the proper authorities. If for some reason you suspect illegal activities, do not try to address the issue yourself. Please contact the proper authorities.
• Do not complain about your neighbor online. All this does is create documented animosity and potentially make homes harder to sell. No one wants to live by a potentially difficult neighbor.
• Be Nice. Regardless of past “issues” – when possible, go out of your way to be nice to your neighbors. Many times one small act of kindness can repair the most difficult of problems. Maybe pick up their empty trash bins if they blew over, shovel snow off of their sidewalk …
