Welcome to Fairway Villas Condominiums

Fairway Villas, a condominium community, prospers through the cooperation of unit owners and residents working together for their mutual benefit. Unlike an apartment complex, our condominium community conducts its affairs through a unit owners’ association and its elected Board of Trustees. Owners and residents are responsible for the maintenance and well being of the interiors of the 104 dwelling units in our complex and the interior of the garage assigned to their unit. The Board of Trustees, guided by the association declaration and by-laws, coordinates architectural control and maintenance of the building exteriors, the common areas and the limited common areas – lawn care, shrubbery and plantings, the swimming pool, streets, security lighting and more. While the association, the by-laws and the Board work to provide community services, resident cooperation is vital to its smooth operation. The following Rules and Regulations are offered to help you responsibly enjoy our community.

The Board of Trustees consists of seven unit owners elected in staggered three-year terms. Two or three are elected each year at the Annual Meeting of all unit owners held in March. Service on the Board is strictly a volunteer position – no member receives any monetary compensation. The members of the Board of Trustees freely donate their time to assure continued improvements to Fairway Villas and strive to act in the best interest of the unit owners as a whole and deserve to be treated with respect for their efforts.

Professional secretarial management of Fairway Villas is provided by Willa Smith and Associates under the direction of the Board of Trustees. Full meetings of the Board of Trustees and Mrs. Smith are held quarterly, however the Board members are in constant contact with the Management Company to address problems as they occur. Because of the limited space available it is impossible to permit attendance by non-board members without prior notice to the Board. An annual meeting of all unit owners is held every March and all are urged to attend this meeting.

Occasionally, when issues arise that need to be addressed by all unit owners, special meetings are scheduled and space is rented to accommodate these meetings.

The City of Green provides fire protection, paramedic and ambulance services. The Summit County Sheriff handles law enforcement. Children attend Green Local Schools.
