The Grove on 37th

What The Grove on 37th's governing documents say

The Grove on 37th is a single-family attached residential community in Phoenix, where you own your dwelling unit and lot but share common areas (landscaping, private streets, open space) maintained by the association. This Declaration governs all owners and specifies maintenance responsibilities, architectural rules, party wall costs, and landscaping standards. Living here requires maintaining your home's exterior, obtaining approval for any changes, following strict landscaping guidelines, and sharing costs for party wall repairs and drainage easement maintenance when applicable.

• What you own & maintain: You own your dwelling unit and lot; you maintain the interior and exterior (roof, walls, fences, landscaping). The association maintains common areas, landscaping, plant watering, and private streets.
• Assessments & fees: $80/month, due quarterly (January 5, April 5, June 5, October 4), plus a one-time $480 capitalization fee at purchase. Annual increases are capped at 20% without a member vote; larger increases or special assessments require 2/3 member approval.
• Architectural review: All exterior modifications—structures, landscaping, walls, fences—require written approval from the Architectural Committee, which can deny proposals for aesthetic reasons to preserve the southwestern style. The committee has 45 days to decide (deemed approved if not acted on).
• Party walls & shared repair: Walls between lots are shared; ordinary maintenance costs split equally between adjoining owners. If one owner causes damage through negligence, they pay for repairs; if caused by outside forces, both owners share costs equally.
• Landscaping restrictions: Plants must be low-pollen and non-allergenic; no trees or shrubs creating traffic hazards or positioned close to party walls where they could undermine the foundation.
• Drainage easements: If your lot has a drainage easement along the rear boundary, you maintain one-half the width from your boundary, keeping it graded and weed-free; plantings allowed with neighbor consent if they don't obstruct drainage.
• Building restrictions: Dwelling units are limited to two stories maximum; roof height must match the original construction; no new structures are permitted beyond the original design; interior ground floor area must match original platting.
