Lakewood Community

What Lakewood Community's governing documents say

Lakewood Estates (Southlake, TX) is a single-family home HOA governed by original 1954 covenants and a 2016 amendment. The rules bind homeowners and apply to all lots in the subdivision. These documents set requirements for leasing, building, and property use.

• Leasing & rentals: Owners must occupy the lot for the first two years of ownership and for at least two years after any lease ends. Leases must be for a term of at least six months and no more than one year. Subleasing and transient tenants are prohibited. Written notice of any lease must be given to the board within ten days of execution.
• Residential use & building restrictions: Lots are for single-family residential use only. Each lot may have only one dwelling, with a minimum of 850 square feet of floor space (excluding porches, garages). Buildings must be at least 25 feet from the front property line, 5 feet from side lines (10 feet on corner lots). Only frame or masonry construction is allowed; no trailers, tents, or temporary residences. Fences and hedges may not exceed 4 feet in height beyond the front building line.
• What this document doesn't cover: The provided documents are partial: they include the original 1954 Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions, a 2016 leasing amendment, and a few individual lot-specific warranty/arbitration agreements (which are not community-wide rules). The full declaration (including assessments, common area maintenance, architectural review, parking, pets, etc.) is not included here. The individual lot warranty documents waive implied warranties and require arbitration for construction disputes; they apply only to specific lots (e.g., 1603 and 1605 Lake Eden) and are not part of the standard HOA rules.
