A Note from the Community Manager
Dear Residents,
As we move into the summer season, I want to thank you for your continued cooperation and for being part of The Pointe at Lockwood community. Summer brings increased activity throughout the park, and with that comes the need for greater awareness, consideration, and respect for one another.
A strong community depends on mutual respect-this includes being mindful of noise, maintaining clean surroundings, respecting private property boundaries, and ensuring that shared spaces remain welcoming and orderly for all residents.
I also want to emphasize the importance of following all community rules regarding parking and general conduct. Parking must be limited to designated areas only. Driveways, fire lanes, and access points must remain clear at all times.
Additionally, please be respectful regarding pets. Dogs must remain off your neighbors’ yards and driveways. Pet owners are responsible for ensuring their animals do not enter or disturb other residents’ private property.
We also ask that residents remain vigilant about non-residents bringing dogs or accessing the property. The Pointe at Lockwood is private property, and our facilities, roadways, and common areas are strictly for residents and approved guests only. If you see individuals who do not reside in the park entering with pets or using the grounds, please notify management so we can address the issue appropriately.
Thank you for your attention to these important matters and for helping maintain a respectful and secure living environment.
Warm regards,
Community Managment
