About
Communication
Email seems to be the best way to get community news and information out to all the residents and homeowners so the majority of our communication is sent electronically. If you are not currently receiving community messages via email, please contact Lori Randall of Summit Management at lori.randall@summitmanage.com with your email address. The email distribution roster is used to disseminate messages such as parking restrictions or towing enforcement announcements during those times when the curbs need to be painted or the asphalt needs to be sealed or repaired, crime updates, community events, and the like.
Moving In/Out
All18-wheel trucks are strictly prohibited in the development because the streets are very narrow and the turns are too tight for the drivers to be able to navigate the road without going up over the curb. In 2007, Huntington Station had a very expensive irrigation system installed and in addition to damage to the lawns and curbs themselves, the larger trucks destroy the sprinkler heads when they drive over the curbs. Residents will need to contact their moving company in advance of any move in/out to let them know that they cannot bring an 18-wheeled rig into the community. If the movers must deliver from an 18-wheel vehicle, they can park on Midtown Avenue (NOT on Huntington Station Court) and then ferry the goods via a smaller truck from that point to the home. If the movers refuse to heed this warning, any charges for damages (including the cost to repaint the yellow curbs, sod replacement, irrigation system repairs, etc.) will be billed directly to the resident’s unit and the resident or landlord (in the case of rental units) will be responsible for any claims that are made.
Parking
Board Meetings
Board meetings are open to all owners. The meetings are held quarterly and posted on the website under DOCUMENTS & OTHER INFORMATION \ Meeting Minutes.
Trash/Recycling Collection
Garbage pickup is on Tuesday mornings. It is included in our County taxes so new residents do not need to do anything to initiate or cancel service. Fairfax County picks up every Tuesday morning (early and the time varies), so trash cans should be out at curb-side on Monday evening. The same goes for the recycle bins. HOA rules stipulate that trash cans may not be put out before 4 p.m. the day before pickup (Monday) and must be removed no later than 6 a.m. the day following pickup (Wednesday). For residents who travel, please ask a neighbor if they can put the trash can in/out for you so that people do not complain.
Mail Box Keys
For the mail box keys, if they are not in the house upon move-in, residents will have to contact the post office on King’s Highway (across the street from the Huntington Metro, but on the King’s Highway side, not the Huntington Ave. side). That is the post office that serves our community. The post office will know which mail box number belongs to each unit. The HOA does not have a list of which box belongs to which unit. All of the mail concerns are handled by the post office.
Safety/Crime
This area is relatively safe, but police advise keeping your doors and windows locked and your garage door closed. They also recommend keeping the area well lighted by burning front porch lights and rear lights at night to deter crime. As always, report suspicious activity to the police.
