Holiday Shopping Tips:

1. Do not leave purchased items visible in the car-leave them in the trunk.
2. While shopping in the evening hours may be less crowded, there are also additional potential risks involved. Park in areas of parking lots that have adequate lighting. Consider shopping with someone rather than going alone.
3. Make sure purses and wallets are secure on your person and you are aware of their location at all times.
4. Keep the amount of available cash you have at a minimum or separate it into different pockets or locations on or about your person. This way all of it is not lost if your purse or wallet is misplaced or stolen.
5. Credit cards offer convenience and security, however, keep track of all cards and keep receipts to compare to your monthly statement.
6. Remain aware of your surroundings at all times and move to and from your vehicle with confidence and "purpose". Have keys ready beforegetting to your car so you do not have to search for them while standing near it.
7. Report suspicious people or activity to law enforcement immediately!
8. Most important is to reduce your own vulnerability and do what you can to minimize the possibility that you could be a victim of a crime or accidental loss.

Home Safety Tips:

1. Valuable items, such as televisions, stereos, and computers should be inscribed with an identifying number unique to its owner (do not use your entire social security number).
2. Create an up-to-date home inventory including make, model, serial numbers, other detailed descriptions, and photographs of items of value (including jewelry). This inventory should be kept somewhere safe, out of the house.
3. At least two light timers should be set to turn the lights and TV on and off in a logical sequence when away for an extended time period to give the appearance that someone is home.
4. The motion detector or other alarm system (if you have one) should be activated when you leave home.
5. Mail and newspaper deliveries should be stopped or arrangements for a neighbor/friend to pick them up should be made when you are away from home for a period of time.
6. Ask a trusted neighbor to tend the yard, shovel the snow, and watch your home when you are away or have a trusted friend or relative house sit in your absence.
7. Make sure all doors and windows are locked when you leave, even if you have an alarm system.

HOA Assessments received from MP Homeowners pay for maintenance of all facilities, 24-hour security, street lights, landscape maintenance, utilities for all facilities, operation of the MP Office, mosquito fogging of the subdivision, insurance for facilities and the HOA, and much more. Towards the end of each financial year (October-September), the Board reviews the present and previous year's expenses and income. The Board uses that review to set the yearly HOA Assessment. There is a budget meeting in July of every year that is open to the members of the Association. In November of every year, there is a complete audit from a reputable, independent and unbaised CPA Firm, who is familiar with HOA Finances.  Homeowners can find PDF copies of all Board Meeting Agendas, Board Meeting Minutes, Governing Documents (ACC Guidelines, CC&Rs, Articles of Incorporation, Bylaws and other filed policy documents), and Annual Budget in the Homeowner Portal. If you would like to request a copy of the Year to Date Budget, Balance Sheet or Income Statement please request via email at This email address is being protected from spambots.

This contract includes weekly mowings and edgings, irrigation to all green space, annual mulching of all the tree rings on Westgreen Blvd. and Highland Knolls Dr., minor pruing of trees, pruning of all the shrubs, flowers to the marquees 3 times per year, monthly weeding of all the landscape beds, fertilization and insecticide of all the green spaces. The grounds budget is approximately $89,000 annually.

Bringing color to the exterior of your house can have a tremendous effect on your home's value and curb appeal. 

Things to keep in mind:

1. Coordinate paint colors with existing features of you home such as your roof and any brick or stone accents you may have.
2. Look for colors that harmonize with your surrounding landscape and neighborhood. Or use any of our color palette collections to find combinations appropriate for the architecture of you home.
3. Add splashes of color by highlighting details such as doors, shutters, and architectural elements. Keep in mind light colors can add size, while dark color can inject drama.
