What Ara Residences's governing documents say
Ara Residences is a master-planned community of 50 townhome lots (Dwelling Units) in Phoenix, AZ, governed by a Master Association that maintains common areas and enforces rules. Each owner owns their lot and townhome, with shared party walls between units. This Master Declaration is the primary rulebook for all owners and residents.
- Residential use & business restrictions: All lots must be used for residential purposes only. Home-based businesses are allowed only if they are not detectable from outside the unit, generate no customer traffic, and comply with zoning. Short-term rentals (e.g., single-night stays) are explicitly prohibited.
- Animals: Only domestic pets (no livestock, poultry) are allowed. The Board determines a 'reasonable number' and may restrict where dogs are allowed on common areas. Pets must be leashed off-lot, and owners must clean up feces. Structures for pets cannot be visible from neighboring property.
- Leasing & rentals: Leases are permitted but must comply with community documents. Short-term rental activity (single-night, consecutive night, or similar) is prohibited under the business restrictions section. The document does not specify a minimum lease term.
- Architectural review: Any modification visible from neighboring property (e.g., changes to exterior, fences, landscaping) requires prior written approval from the Architectural Committee. This includes antennas and satellite dishes, which must be minimized in visibility. Fines and enforcement apply for violations.
- Party walls: Walls between townhome units or between lots are party walls. Owners share the right to use them as long as they do not interfere with the neighbor's use. General rules of law regarding party walls apply.
- Master Association & maintenance: The Master Association maintains all common areas (tracts, private streets, drainage) and can assess owners for common expenses. Owners are responsible for maintaining their own lots and improvements, subject to a Maintenance Standard set by the Board.
