• I live in Tierra Shores and do pay the 158 a month for HOA. Part of the main reason for paying this amout has to due with being part of the lake community and it being "gated". I know the maintenance of the lake is a big factor. Also we do have security in the evenings. And there is access to the lake via the paddle boats. I am assuming that because of that there are liability issues and of course that cost money too. And last but not least the up keep of the pool and club house. Other communities that have HOA's do not have these type of amenities. The new development THE LAKES which are across from Tierra Shores, have dues that are $200 plus. And they also have lakes and pools. Of course please keep in mind that we are a community of 310 homes vs the homes across the street which will have about 900 homes. I hope this helps out. Overall my experience living in Tierra Shores has been a good one. You will enjoy living here.

• landscape, pool&spa, clubhouse, gated, security, and the lake all add up. It is a small community and is making progress to keep that feeling. However keep in mind that if the lake does not meet water quality standards each homeowner can be saddled with a hefty maint fee. Number one & 2 reasons for bad water yard run off and vehicle washing. both prohibited

• It is not so much the water run off from the yard. The lake is equipped to handle that. The number one problem is the washing of the cars. That is being inforced with community involvement. For the most part most people are following the rules.

• Hello potential neighbor,
  
  I live here in Tierra Shores and have since the begining.
  
  To answer your question with a basic answer:
  
  The services provided and the amount of homes sharing the costs of those services are the reason for the dues amount. Hope this helps. If you have any more questions, just ask.
  
  We welcome informed and active members and look forward to seeing you at the meetings.

• The meetings are always fun. You get the ill-informed and the ones who dont pay attention to others questions and ask the same one again or want to stand on a soap box and cry about anything. LOL! All in all the meetings do produce positive results.

• I live in Tierra Shores and have for 2 years. We pay for the fact we live in a gated, resort community. Our club house area has a spa, pool, BarBQ, access to the club house for parties, security guard,our landscaping is beautiful, our lake is maintained and it costs a lot to keep a lake to the proper water level and clean. I spoke to someone at The Lakes, the HOA fee at buildout will be about $190 a month over there. So we are higher than some, lower than others. Tierra Shores is a great place to live.

• Wait.... I'm confused. Everybody is talking about how great it is to live in Tierra Shores, but nobody is talking about all the break-ins. Why is that? Please, don't give false hope to new buyers.... We just moved here and hate it! Can't sell our house because of the market. It's nice here, but come on! A lot of problems that nobody is talking about. Please, just be honest! I don't want anybody else making the same mistake we did!

• My wife and I are looking to buy in Tierra Shores. What break-ins are you talking about? Are there a lot of break-ins in the gated 300 home Tierra Shores? What other problems are people not talking about? We would like to know. Is one of the problems you are talking about the smell around Tierra Shores? If anyone could provide any more details that would be great.

• The break-ins are reducing do to the fact that more people are moving in. Also, a lot of that was youngsters in the area looking for a place to have a good time. Hopefully they have had their hands slapped and it has stopped.

• The I love it comment was left in o7 since this place has gone down the crapper. No security is why there is break in's and come on kids. No they are not kids I would like to see a kids running down the street with 2 air conditioner units. Please I was looking at some of the home and they have holes in the walls no more light fixtures no air conditioners, no faucet handles, Kids what a dreamer. The HOA are bad they are issuing out complaints like they are getting paid for each one. I have gotten some in regards to removal of pallets, what I have never had any pallets on my property. Complaints about the placement of my car(which is in front of the house) trash containers ( which ARE put away) yellow spot in the grass ( some have the entire grass over grown and yellow and I have my yard maintained by a professional)and now they are more things that are just out of control. I wish I never moved here and the smell is just not worth it with the added harassment from HOA they are just running people out. House are now going for $160000 for a 5 bedroom should say something for this also.

• Ok "dreamer". You are the problem in our community. Clean out your garage and park your car in there. Or park in the driveway. The streets are not designed to allow parking. If you have more than 5 cars, this is not the neighborhood for you. Don't act suprised either, the rules are in the CC&Rs and your lack of planning/research shouldn't mean that I have to deal with your crap. Trash is picked up on Mondays, put your cans away before Tuesday night. This is also in the CC&Rs. You cannot say the HOA sucks because they are enforcing the rules. This is and will be run like a resort community. It's for clean, quiet, respectable amd responsible people. When you buy here, you are given the CC&Rs. If you couldn't abide by them, why would you continue with the purchase? People with issues, most cases, new home owners see our community and say "hey this place is clean and looks great, I want to live there", then they don't read the rules and get hammered when they move in because they have too much junk, they are dirty, or they are A-holes. It takes a lot of work to have a nice community, suck it up or move somewhere else where you can do what you want. This is not a "do what I want" community.
