Golden Hills Fairway

What Golden Hills Fairway's governing documents say

Golden Hills Fairway is an age-restricted (55+) community of 12 attached homes (lots 49–60) with common areas in Mesa, AZ. Each owner holds fee simple title to their lot and unit, and shares ownership of the common areas as tenants in common. The community is governed by a homeowners association (Elena Apartments, Inc.) that enforces use restrictions, maintains exteriors and common areas, and levies assessments.

• Age restriction (55+): At least one permanent resident of each unit must be a Qualifying Senior Citizen (QSC) age 55 or older; all other residents must be at least 18. Temporary guests under 18 may stay up to 90 days per year. Exceptions allow a surviving spouse, former spouse, child, grandchild, or sibling who is 35+ to occupy the unit after a QSC's death or departure. Grandfathered non-QSC occupants are allowed until they leave.
• Pets: No pets of any kind are allowed — owners, renters, and lessees may not keep, breed, or maintain household pets on the property.
• Architectural review: Initial landscaping may not be altered except with similar replacements. All exterior additions, changes, alterations, or redecorating must receive prior Board approval.
• Leasing & rentals: Rental of units is permitted (business use is otherwise prohibited). Before any sale, lease, or transfer, the seller must inform the prospective owner of the CC&Rs, and the new owner must be a QSC.
• What you own & maintain: You own your lot and the unit on it. The Association maintains and paints the exterior of all units and roofs, as well as the common areas (including landscaping, streets, and recreational facilities). As an owner, you are responsible for maintaining windows, doors, individual heating/air conditioning units, patios, and landscaping on your lot.
• Assessments: The Board sets an annual budget and levies assessments equally on all 12 lots (each owner pays 1/12 of total costs). Special assessments for capital improvements may also be imposed. Delinquent assessments incur collection costs and attorney fees, and can result in suspension of voting rights.
• Party walls: Walls on dividing lines between units (including patio walls) are party walls. If one owner or their guests damage a party wall, that owner pays for repair. The Board resolves disputes.
