Who is responsible for maintaining, repairing, or replacing condo components?

Condominium Owners are responsible for the interior walls, floors, stairways and items located within their condo Unit, and the floor space occupied by such interior walls, floors, stairways and other partitions.  

Unit Owners are also responsible for the awnings, doorsteps, stoops, porches, patios and all exterior doors and windows and any other fixtures designed to serve only their Unit.  These items are designated as a Limited Common Elements, and any repair or replacement of a Limited Common Element must first be approved by the LVCA Executive Committee. This maintains a uniform appearance and could also save Unit Owners time and money.

The Association is responsible for all Common Elements which include the frames,  roofing, vinyl siding, and sewer laterals for each building.  The Association is also responsible for all streets, sidewalks, walkways and driveways, lawns and landscaping, the Clubhouse, and the community's stormwater drainage system. All residents, regardless of the size or location of their unit, share equally in these costs.

Are there any rules regarding pets?

Each Unit may have two (2) dogs or two (2) cats, or combination thereof, so long as they do not disturb other owners or occupants and the pets are kept on a leash or carried while in any of the common areas in the community.

Are commercial vehicles, boats on trailers, or RVs allowed?

Commercial vehicles, vehicles with business lettering or signs, boats, recreational vehicles, or trailers are not allowed to be stored on driveways or in parking spaces.  A commercial vehicle, RV, boat or trailer stored in the unit's garage out of sight is permitted.

Are outdoor BBQ grills allowed, and if so, what type of grill may be used?

Residents may use a propane or electric grill on their rear patio.  (Charcoal, pellet, or wood-fired grills are not permitted for safety reasons.)

Grills must be kept at least four (4) feet away from walls and porches when they're being used to prevent damage to the vinyl siding, railing, and soffits.  

Propane tanks should be stored with the grill on the rear patio or porch, rather than in the garage.  Cold weather does not affect propane tanks, and a leaky valve could be big trouble if a propane tank was stored in the garage.

What sort of activities and events are on offer in the community?

Longstown Village residents are active, and there are plenty of ways to connect with others living in the development.:

• Bingo

• Bible Study

• Card games , including Bridge and Poker

• Corn Hole

• Exercise Groups

• Veteran's Breakfasts, Events, and Trips

How can I get involved and help the community?

Residents are encouraged to participate and help one of our committees. Neighbors helping neighbors is what it's all about. Condominium owners share a common interest, and by helping one another we all benefit, and we can even have some fun.
