Welcome
to Glen Acres Condominiums, a private gated, golf course community that
was created in 1966 and has grown into seven separate Divisions under an
umbrella Homeowner Association. Our planned community has 20 acres of
professionally maintained grounds, gated entrance, and night watchman, all
placed alongside our privately owned 9-hole golf course. Glen Acres
overlooks the city of Seattle with many of our condominiums providing views of
the city and mountains on a clear day. We are a condominium community with 225
units, which encompasses 28 buildings with several different floor plans. 90%
of the units are occupied by at least one resident 55 years of age or older at
last count. Our nine-hole golf course, tennis courts, swimming pool, and
clubhouse make us an active adult community. At this writing 215
units are owner occupied. That makes most of us owners as well as
residents. All our homeowners are social members of Glen Acres Golf
& Country Club allowing everyone access to the Country Club, swimming pool,
tennis courts, and a free round of golf each month. A Golfing membership
encompasses all social membership privileges, as well as golfing on the
beautifully manicured golf course.
The
owners elect the Homeowners Association Board of Trustees, and the Division
Management Committees to manage our common property. Glen Acres’ elected
representatives set policies that maintain and protect our property
values. The monthly fee assessed to each owner, pays for running our
community. A portion of this fee is allocated to reserve accounts for
major expenditures that occur with time, such as painting, roof repairs,
structural repairs, road repairs, etc. The amount set aside in reserve accounts
is determined by the individual Divisions to meet their specific requirements.
Newcomers to Glen Acres are not likely to be saddled with lump-sum
assessments for major repairs.
Community
rules have been developed and adopted by the homeowners over time for the
mutual benefit of all residents. The rules document certain common courtesies
necessary in a relatively close-knit community to maintain an enjoyable living
environment for everyone. Glen Acres is a wonderful community with
home prices ranging from $200K, up to $500K. Glen Acres is located 10
minutes south of downtown Seattle, just a minute from highway 509.
