While Eagle Nest has been fortunate to avoid the chronic crime problems found in surrounding neighborhoods, we aren't immune. We've had our share of problems in recent years, too, mainly break-ins, car vandalism and thefts. In fact, about a month ago, a Bittern Lane resident had her door kicked in one Saturday afternoon, her jewelry stolen and house trashed.

     Angi Corkwell and Kelly Wright have volunteered to work as Activities Coordinators for Eagle Nest.  Many activities have been planned for this year, and the hope is that more Eagle Nest neighbors will get to know each other through these events. The board thanks these volunteers for their efforts in making Eagle Nest a great neighborhood!  Angela Corkwell (Pictured left) I was born and raised here in Lawrence, and graduated from Lawrence North.  I am a Ball State Alumni, and currently managing my family business, The Heidelberg Haus. My husband Charlie and I have lived in Eagles Nest since 2005 and have two little girls ages 3 and 6 and a crazy puppy.  I love to travel, spend time with my family, and being outdoors. I am very excited about all the upcoming events that we have planned for this summer season and getting the chance to meet more residents of this awesome neighborhood.  ...

Do you want Eagle Nest to remain one of the most desirable neighborhoods in the city? Do you enjoy our subdivision’s top-notch amenities and feel it’s time to give back? Ever wanted an active role in guiding the neighborhood toward a successful future? Here’s how: Run for the board of Eagle Nest Property Owners Association.
