While the widely promoted social activities preoccupy our Board and are communicated to us all over these past weeks and months, the front and entrance to our Aquarina community continues to suffer because of overseeing neglect and no irrigation.
Curb appeal is an important aspect of property value, and Aquarina’s roadway and ingress, in the past, before the current Board control, has always been an attraction and a gateway to our community. Have you seen it now? Dead and dying lawn areas along Hwy A1A and at the north side of our crumbling paver entryway. BTW – have you noticed how much greener the golf course has become?
As is the pattern now, golf and its social sideshows, have trumped our community, as Aquarina becomes more worn and tired in its appearance, which soon will result in a downward effect on our home values.
The total irony, in all this, is that the Board President blusters how not having golf will drive our home prices down to half their current values and cause tens of thousands of dollars in assessments. Actually, it’s not about not having golf, but not having golf garnish most of our Residents’ fees at the expense of the rest of the community.
The correct approach to our existing dilemma is a measured methodology with effort, time, and our Residents’ funds to all aspects of our common elements, and not just golf and entertainment.
The sooner the present Board’s leadership is removed and gone, the sooner our Aquarina community will thrive again.
