The Community Association of the Highlands is a community of just over 900 single family residences that call Sugar Land home, a part of Texas that Mother Nature has been kind to. The community offers two swimming pools, tennis courts, a playground and a clubhouse for the use of the residents.
Born 34 years ago, the Highlands community is no stranger to Father Time; however, the board members work hard to ensure those wrinkles are eradicated. Completing this successfully is greatly due to the frugal prowess of the board. The treasurer heavily monitors the financial outlook and the budget is carefully evaluated each year. With a 97% collection rate for 2012, it is evident the homeowners are just as dedicated to preserving their values.
Over the years, the association has received several facelifts to maintain a modern, fresh appearance. The tennis courts have been resurfaced, the perimeter fence stained, pools plastered, curb numbers spruced up, new playground equipment installed and shade structures and pool decks added to the pools. In 2006 a new clubhouse facility was born. The clubhouse was recently accessorized with motion light switches, new access control and remote access to the surveillance equipment. This year, the pools have also seen improvements with permanent guard stands, new furniture, shade structures and deck enhancements. The new clubhouse was initially accomplished with a bank loan; however, this year, the association was able to pay the loan off early to save thousands in interest.
Several of the board members have proudly served the Highlands for several years and regardless of what Father Time has in store, most will continue to serve for many more to come.
