Beaux Arts Village Celebrates 100 years, without CCRs

This is a good story. Any of us who own condos or townhomes know that when we live in close proximity to our neighbors, and own some common areas together, it’s good to have some rules written down to limit what our neighbors can or can’t do with their land or homes, and how we will work together to keep it all up. These rules, known as CCRs, are usually written by the developer before any units are sold, and go a long way to keeping the peace for years to come, and to preserving property values too.

Here is a Seattle Times story about a 100 year old community on Lake Washington near Bellevue that has never had CCRs, and is determined to keep it that way. It’s not that disagreements do not arise, they do, but the long-time residents always find a way to work it out.
