It was 5 years ago that the North Shore Villas HOA Web Site Version 1.0 came into being. Interest and usage was very limited. Over the years, however, the web site and related information systems have slowly continued to evolve. The HOA Web Site was refined, new functionality added, and it became more interactive as Online Billing and other features were added to the site.
Charles Murphy then created the North Shore Villas HOA Facebook Page which was then linked to by the HOA Web Site. This added the highly popular interactive 'social media' component to our community's information systems.
Recently we also added the North Shore Villas HOA Weekly News site to our inventory of information systems and it has been interfaced to our HOA Web Site. It draws information from State HOA news sites, our Facebook page, Web Site, and North Shore HOA Blogging site.
Over the past few months 3-4 additional homeowners and/or members of the HOA Welcome Committee have been trained in editing and maintaining these HOA information systems to ensure continuity and support for the systems.
We're still going through some growing pains as these HOA information systems continue to evolve and more and more homeowners start to increasingly use them. Please take the time to explore the sites and send constructive feedback to Peter Groen, Charles Murphy, Kathy Lucier, Board Members and the Welcome Committee on how we can further improve the sites over the coming year.
It has taken a while, but I think we can now say that all the condos at North Shore have been sold. We have now moved into the next phase of normal ongoing turnover and sale of units expected in typical residential communities.
According to a recent article in the SC Biz News, The SC lowcountry residential real estate market is stable, and demand continues to outpace supply. Median price of homes is up 4.6% this year, so that's good news for all of us. According to the Sandlapper Group, the median price of homes around Lake Marion is currently $283,450

The North Shore Villas HOA Board of Directors would like to remind everyone of the following rules they would like for you to pay more attention to this summer. Other rules and guidelines will be developed and issued by the Board over time as the need arises. View or download North Shore HOA Welcome Packet to learn more about the other major rules and guidelines that govern our community.
- Absolutely No
pressure washing of decks on the parking lot side of the buildings.
This includes, obviously, the first floor concrete. The elevator and
fire control systems are very sensitive to water and power washing can
and
has caused significant, very expensive damage to equipment.
- The area around the sheds needs to be kept tidy. Having items piled around hampers weed suppression and mowing
- NO Boats are to be left in the area near Building A. That space is for trailers only.
- Boats, RVs and other water craft are not to be left in the parking lot. There are specific areas for these vehicles.
- Golf carts
should be parked across from the buildings on the shed side. Carts are
never to be parked in or adjacent to handicapped spots.
- Clean up after your pets! Please be considerate of others.
Also, don't forget to regularly visit the North Shore Villas HOA Web Site and Facebook Page.
