Hello Eagle Nest residents, Here’s a look at neighborhood news for the week of January 18: YOU’RE INVITED: JOIN OUR “MEET THE NEIGHBORS” FEATURE Eagle Nest is a great place to live, largely because of the wonderful folks found along every street. We’ve certainly seen this during the pandemic, where residents check on each other and, while safely socially distanced, stop and chat while out on walks or doing yard work.  During the summer, you would see neighbors arranging their chairs on opposite sides of the street to safely visit, laugh and share stories (and maybe a beverage or two). Neighborliness like this is more important now than ever, so that’s why we continue to collect names for our new “Meet the Neighbors” feature – short neighbor profiles to help everyone get to know each other. Ideally, each feature would be based on the answers to these questions: How long have you lived in Eagle Nest and where did you move from? The kind of work you do or have done. What you do for fun.

Hello Eagle Nest residents, We hope your New Year is off to a great start! Here’s a look at neighborhood news for the week of January 11: NEW YEAR, NEW LOT IMPROVEMENTS? Now that the New Year is underway, folks no doubt have their list of resolutions and goals for 2021 (and good luck with all those!). Some of you probably have plans for lot improvements when the nice weather returns. The Board encourages such projects, of course, because well-maintained homes enhance property values for everyone. But before you rush out and throw down for a shed, fence or change the color of your house, please remember to contact the Board first, per Section 6A(i) of the Association’s Rules and Restrictions. Few projects are ever rejected; we just want to ensure any changes conform with the neighborhood’s legally binding controlling documents.

2020 WASN’T ALL BAD. HERE’S WHY … At the risk of stating the obvious, 2020 was an ugly year like no other. The deadly pandemic, economic uncertainty and political divisiveness were among the daily headlines few could ignore. It was challenging and scary, to be sure, and your Board of Directors hopes everyone remained safe and healthy through it all. Like you, we’re ready for better days ahead, to build on our successes as a neighborhood community. And yes, there were plenty in 2020, thanks to the support of our residents and the commitment of our staff and Board. Among the memorable highlights: The pool: Our facility was open for the entire season, despite stringent health department monitoring and capacity limits due to COVID-19. That was a major win for residents, considering most city pools remained closed for the year (including nearby Sahm Park), despite having more resources. Swim lessons: We had two dozen little Eagle Nesters sign up for free instruction, a valuable life skill
