Our Story

We are Princeton Chase Homeowners Association (PCHOA), an organization formed mid-2017. At a basic level, our purpose is to maintain the common areas and expenses of the Princeton Chase community. However, our purpose is deeper than that. Building a true sense of community is the vision behind our activities.

The Princeton Chase neighborhood broke ground around 1978. Formal covenants were filed by the builder, John Wieland, in 1982. They had a 20-year life. By 2002, when they expired the HOA was also defunct. A group of owners informally continued HOA business until around 2012, which included community engagement. A key, long-time community activist, Calvin Lane, passed away in the early 2010's,  after which community activities to grew quiet and common areas deteriorated significantly between 2012 and 2017. Following a meeting of neighbors in May 2017, PCHOA was formed with the mission of creating a renewed sense of community. A place we are all proud to call home, where we know our neighbors and feel a responsibility to act in the best interest of the collective.

When you talk to long time residents, they speak of fond memories of what the community “used to be.” There was a community participation that somehow faded, and without mandatory dues, it became difficult to get contributions for the upkeep. We not only want to make sure the common areas and expenses are taken care of, we want to rebuild and grow that sense of community, a compelling responsibility. Through community outreach efforts, like putting out newsletters, we are establishing lines of communication. Events, such as bonfires, cookouts and caroling, provides an opportunity for fellowship for the adults and children alike. Efforts to improve grounds and entrance lighting builds a trust in advocacy. We aim to continue building a sense of community through communication, fellowship and advocacy.
