This page is for the MASTER association. In the Lake Berkley Community, there are a total of 4 communities. Lake Berkley Masters is the main association that governs all the sub-associations. Each owner within the 3 sub-communities pays into the maintenance funds for the Master HOA and is eligible to use the shared amenities.
Within Lake Berkley Masters there are three sub-associations:
Lake Berkley Townhomes – Managed by Beacon Community Management
Lake Berkley Manors – Managed by Leland Management
The Villas at Lake Berkley – Managed by SRK Residential Communities
Main Pool Status = OPEN
Kiddie Pool Status = OPEN
Club House & GYM = OPEN
Current Fiscal Year Dues: 2024
The annual budget is voted on by the Board of the Masters HOA at the end of each calendar year, to take effect the following calendar year. All owners will be notified of this mandatory budget meeting via USPS, and, if we have one, an email. Notices are sent out 30 days in advance of the meeting and will contain information on the proposed budget, along with other relevant information for that meeting. Please pay close attention to this information and plan to attend the meeting if you are able.
After the budget is passed coupon books will be ordered with the communities bank, TRUIST, and mailed to the mailing address we have on file for each owner. It is very important that if you move, you contact us to update your mailing address with us. Please note; failure to notify us of your mailing address changes does not waive your responsibilities to make your HOA payments on time. Late fees will be assessed and will not be waived for owners paying late regardless of their claim against not receiving a coupon book.
Please note: The information provided on this page and/or the Homeowner Portal does not constitute the required information for an estoppel or to be used for any Real Estate transaction.
