Eastridge Hills HOA Directors Set the Record Straight Reality: On Friday, September 25, 2025, The Kelly Company – our outgoing management firm – let its Appfolio software spit out a false billing reminder. It told homeowners to send their October dues to The Kelly Company. Wrong address, wrong company, wrong move. Fast forward to Monday,…
Cracks, Rocks, and a Plan That Doesn’t Crack 🚧 We’ve noticed cracks forming in our Eastridge Hills streets, some of which are caused by heavy construction-truck traffic from the new homes being built uphill in Eastridge POA-land. More importantly, these cracks are the early signs of bigger problems: over the next twelve months, hairline cracks…
They strut like they own the cul-de-sac, they scratch like landscapers on overtime, and they redecorate lawns with the subtlety of a bulldozer.

We’re left with lawns that look like they’ve been through a frat party scavenger hunt….

Reality Check When you buy into a neighborhood, you’re not just buying a house — you’re buying the soundtrack and backdrop that comes with it. Live downtown? Expect horns and headlights. Settle near an airport? Jet engines are part of the deal. Move next to a park with 11,000 acres of critters? Then yes, you’ll…
Reality Check: Who’s Holding the Matchbook? For years, the Kelly Company and our previous HOA board operated under the mantra: “This is the way we’ve always done it.” That line might work for grandma’s cookie recipe, but not when we’re talking about thousands of dollars in HOA dues.
