Neighborhood Information

Information for New Neighbors and Prospective Residents

Welcome to the neighborhood!  Below is some information about the neighborhood and association.

Association

Ford Lake Village is governed by the Ford Lake Village Property Owners Association (FLVPOA). A volunteer board represents the interests of the neighborhood and serves one-year terms from the annual meeting in June. The Association is governed by the Declaration of Covenants and Restrictions and the Association Bylaws. Dues are collected annually in June to be used for the landscaping and maintenance of the subdivision as well as to host neighborhood events. To contact the board, send an email to admin@fordlakevillage.com .

Neighborhood Past & Present

Our subdivision consists of 205 homes in Ypsilanti Township, Michigan. The first wave of homes was built in 1994. The original sales brochure shows the floor plans and lot maps for the subdivision. As the homes age, similar items wear out at the same time. The Nextdoor app can be a helpful resource for getting information on contractors, service people, and companies recommended by your neighbors at Ford Lake Village and the surrounding communities. Simply download the app and search for "Ford Lake Village" to join our community on Nextdoor! It's also a great way to connect with your neighbors, sell items, get local event and township information, and keep abreast of news happening locally.

Neighborhood Events

There are several annual events that are held to bring the neighborhood together. Events include: an Easter Egg Hunt, Spring Cleanup Day in May, Annual Meeting in June, Garage Sale in July, Halloween Trick-or-Treating in October, and a Holiday Decoration Contest in December. We also have quarterly Association meetings to share information and hear feedback from the neighbors. Check the calendar to see what is coming up next.
