Why do we need a Walden Community Association?

The Walden Community Association was formed to help serve the needs of Walden residents. The Community of Walden is home to 437 homeowners. Walden is fortunate to have seven (7) parks with connecting walkways and a variety of playground equipment. 

Currently, our association dues are $80. each calendar year. These dues are subject to change.  Our annual budget of $34, 960. covers the following expenses:

  • Parks and Common Area lawn care
  • Electricity and repair to park lights
  • Liability insurance for park areas
  • Playground/Park Equipment & repair
  • Parks sidewalk improvements & repairs
  • Mailbox purchases, upkeep, & repairs
  • Directory, Postcards, and Newsletter printing & mailings
  • Legal Expenses
  • Property Taxes
  • Assessment Billings
  • Social Activities
  • Snow Removal – NOTE- If we didn’t hire private snow removal, Walden would be waiting for the City to have time to plow our streets!

Each year we spend nearly two-thirds of our dues budget on lawn services and snow removal.  The balance is spent on the remaining expenditures. Our low dues are reasonable to provide these services. 

Dues notices are mailed to each address every December.  Dues are payable in full by January 31st each year. Prompt payment is appreciated so that the Board doesn’t have to hire an attorney for collection.  Dues may be paid by check or use PayPal on our website.

The best way to stay informed about your Walden community is to attend Board meetings. The Board meets on the second Monday of each month at 6:30pm at Faith Baptist Church (6600 Trier Rd.) to discuss association business. Please check with a Board member for schedule changes. All homeowners are welcome to attend.
