Concord Woods Home Owners' Association (CWHOA)

The Concord Woods Homeowners’ Association is responsible for maintaining the street lights and common property throughout our development, managing all easments (i.e. powerline, sewer, water) that run in our common areas, enacting and enforcing HOA bylaws, collecting annual dues, and other responsibilities as outlined in the documents linked under the Governance section below. All CWHOA council members are Concord Woods residents who manage these responsibilities without pay and without utilizing an HOA management service. This has allowed us to keep our annual dues at a very modest level with very few increases for over 20 years. However, this also means this is not our full time job so please be patient when contacting an HOA council member.

Governance & Annual Meeting

Affairs of the Association are managed by a four person Council, and appointed positions as deemed necessary, in accordance with the Articles of Incorporation, bylaws, Declaration of Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions (CC&Rs), and rules and regulations as stated in following formal documents:

• Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws

• Declaration of Covenants, Restrictions, Easements,Charges and Liens

• SECOND AMENDMENT TO Declaration of Covenants, Restrictions, Easements, Charges and Liens

• THIRD AMENDMENT TO Declaration of Covenants, Restrictions, Easements, Charges and Liens

• FOURTH AMENDMENT TO Declaration of Covenants, Restrictions, Easements, Charges and Liens

Note: These documents have been inputted by optical scanner & we have made every effort to eliminate scanning errors; however, refer to your original documents from settlement for final authority.

Our By Laws require an annual meeting of the membership, which is normally held in May, with advance notice of date, time & place going to all residents.

Homeowner Dues Assessment 

Dues are asessed to all homeowners and paid annually (currently $250 per year). These funds cover the cost of mowing and landscaping in common areas, repair and maintenance of common area structures, improvements for common areas, electricity for street lights, and general liability insurance for the common areas plus HOA Officers. The annual amount is due is determined by the HOA and discussed in the annual homwowners meeting which typically takes place in the second quarter of the year. Invoices are distributed prior to the annual meeting and not due until at least 30 days after the meeting.

Concord Woods Common Property & Open Space

Concord Woods residents jointly own common property that includes our front entrance on Cheyney Rd, the tot lot on Huntingdon Farm Dr, all Concord Woods sidewalks and ajoining areas that do not border a residential lot, a wooded pond area between the Nicklin Ln and Big Woods Dr cul-de-sacs, and 80+ acres of open space behind the homes on the northern side of Huntingdon Farm and Big Woods Dr. If needed, the large commercial gate on Cheyney Rd can be temporarily opened on request by contacting a CWHOA board member.

All local residents are encouraged to walk the many trails throughout our primary open space that runs along the PECO powerline easement; residents not bordering this space can access it via two small bridge trails located behind the Tot Lot, or via the main gate entrance on Cheyney Rd and adjoining trail located to the left side of the Concord Woods main entrance. A rough depiction of our primary open space can be found here.

PLEASE NOTE: due to excessive noise, damage to natural habitats, and for liability reasons - motorized vehicles such as motorcycles and ATVs by non-residents is prohibited within our open space. Concord Wood residents are encouraged to document and report such activity by non-residents to the State Police. Issues regarding Concord Woods residents use of the open space should be directed to the CWHOA.
