Fruit Trees

Please begin picking fruit from your trees. This is the time of year, trees have plenty, and the roof rats and other rodents love a free meal. If you place it out for neighbors, please bring in whatever is left, as again, rodents love the food.

Gate Closures (Updated)

Please be advised that each gate will be completely inaccessible for the duration of the replacement work, which means 24 hours/day. Therefore, it is highly suggested that you prepare in advance for these closures as they affect your travel in and out of the community.

Golfers, during the closures of the Halley and Champagne Gates, we will have security personnel in place at both locations [during normal business hours] to assist with golfer traffic.

2022 HOA Dues Assessments

You should have received your statement either by mail or in your email. Statements will indicate the new amount of $1,168.50 (half of $2,337). If you have set up auto pay, your invoice will indicate there is nothing due and no further action is required.

You may also pay by dropping off a check at any of the secured lock boxes located at the Oakwood Clubhouse, the drive-up box in the Arts & Crafts parking lot, or lock boxes located at the Oakwood & Ironwood Golf Shops, the Fitness Center East door, or outside the Accounting office.

Please note, checks cannot be postdated, as Accounting cannot hold checks. Checks returned for insufficient funds will incur a $30 fee.

What Does Security Mean to You?

We’re looking into making major enhancements to IronOaks Security, from more tailored access controls at our gate entrances and amenities to a state-of-the-art surveillance system that can find the keys you misplaced while dining in Stone & Barrel last week!

When choosing to live in a gated community, you set expectations for your sense of security. We want to ensure that we're doing our best to help you feel at ease here at IronOaks. Please be on the lookout for a Resident Survey circulated in the coming weeks, and be sure to give us your feedback on what’s most important to you.

We will provide a comment card update next week that will encompass the entire month of January. Thank you for your patience as we compile the information.

If you have a comment that may apply to two areas, you only need to submit one comment. The Board is copied on all comments.
