Marvella Metropolitan Distrct - December 2025 Newsletter
Homeowner Reminders:
Lend a Hand, Keep Marvella Grand
Please help us by doing your part: pick up after pets, report any suspicious activity, and let us know if you see anything in need of attention around the neighborhood. A little goes a long way in keeping Marvella beautiful and safe for everyone!
- As we move through the winter season, please also remember to rake and properly dispose of leaves, clear debris from sidewalks and gutters, and keep yards neat to support overall neighborhood curb appeal and drainage.
- For your convenience, two pet waste stations are available and located by the pool on South Olive Court and by the mailboxes on East Lake Drive.
- Looking to make renovations or improvements to your home? Please remember to fill out the Architectural Review Request Form and submit it to Michael Schenfeld and Carlos Arreola-Karr for review prior to making improvements.
- Architectural Review approval is required prior to beginning exterior improvements, and planning ahead now can help avoid delays when spring arrives.
- Please remember to maintain your lawn spaces, including trees, pruning, weed and debris removal, and any necessary landscaping replacement.
- Remember to store your trash and recycling bins, and any other unsightly outdoor equipment, out of view from the street. Please place trash cans at the curb no earlier than the night before scheduled pickup and remove them by the end of pickup day.
- We love seeing kids outside enjoying the neighborhood! Please remind children to respect neighbors’ property and landscaping, play safely in the streets and watch for cars, pick up toys, sports gear, and trash before heading home.
Let’s keep Marvella safe, tidy, and welcoming for everyone!
