About Us
The Beekman Place Association, Inc. represents a planned master community development created in 1984 for the Beekman Place community. It is comprised of a mix of 403 homes within five HOA and condominium associations; Beekman Lakes, Forty-Three West, The Villages at Beekman Place, The Estates, and The Grove at Beekman Place.
The purpose of the Beekman Place Association (BPA) is to oversee the operation, maintenance, management, and improvement of the common areas of Beekman Place. The common area property that the BPA is responsible for is the main entrance and the Hamlet’s Boulevard roadway that runs through the community.
Capitalized assets included in the common areas of Beekman Place are the concrete roadway, sidewalks, directional signs, street lights, front entrance signs, the two ponds that face Lockwood Ridge Road, water fountains, irrigation, wells, and landscaping along Hamlets Boulevard.
The Beekman Place Association operates as a separate HOA from the other five associations as per its governing documents. The BPA encompasses board members selected by each of the five associations to represent them within Beekman Place. BPA board meetings are held on the first Tuesday of every other month in January, March, May, July, September, and November beginning at 6 PM at the Forty-Three West clubhouse. Annual membership meetings are held in March of each year at a predetermined location and time. All homeowners of the five associations are welcome to attend all BPA public meetings.
Each HOA and condo association is financially responsible for the maintenance of their own community. However, to maintain the shared common grounds of the main entrance and Hamlet’s Boulevard, a monthly assessment fee is collected from all 403 homeowners. Collection of BPA fees are made by and included in each association’s total monthly assessment fees. The collected fees are then submitted to the BPA on a quarterly basis to fund the operations of Beekman Place.
The BPA board representatives are listed with their names and contact information on the website and on the bulletin boards within each association. Information regarding the Beekman Place Association can be obtained by contacting the Beekman Place board representative assigned to each association.
