Thanks to all the homeowners who paid their neighborhood dues by the deadline of March 1. As you know, these funds help keep Eagle Nest one of the most desirable neighborhoods in Indianapolis by providing necessary capital to maintain our clubhouse, pool, snow plowing contract, maintenance of common grounds, etc. For the second year in a row, ENPOA board members have successfully contained neighborhood expenses and avoided a dues increase. As a result, the board granted every resident a one-time credit of $20 this year, a reduction applied to what had been dues bills of $390 in recent years. Unfortunately, about two dozen of our 419 property owners failed to pay their dues on time, resulting in additional late fees and transfer to our attorney for collection. These residents also face additional legal fees incurred in the collection process. If you are among those who haven’t paid yet -- and you didn't make previous payment arrangements -- please do not call Eagle Nest

It's hard to get to know all 419 homeowners of Eagle Nest, so your neighborhood association board welcomes all questions, suggestions, and yes, even complaints, so we can keep our neighborhood one of the most desirable in Indianapolis. Check out the "Key contacts" tab on the right and drop us a line (All emails have been updated). Thanks, neighbor(s)!

With spring rapidly approaching, signs advertising open houses, school events, contractor work, etc., likely will begin sprouting throughout the neighborhood. But did you know Eagle Nest has a policy about what signs are permitted, where they may be placed and for how long? Our neighborhood has grown a bit lax in recent years in enforcing the policy, so board members wanted to remind all residents about the standards and rules for signs display. To ensure the continued asthetic appeal of Eagle Nest, please review the "Eagle Nest signs policy" posted within the tab at the right. Questions may be directed to Dave Sagers, chairman of the Restriction and Review Commitee, via email at dsagers01@comcast.net Thank you for your attention and cooperation.
