Tips for New Neighbors

We're glad you’re here!

With more than 1,100 homes in Whitehall, we have many opportunities to join together for neighborhood enhancement, socializing, and community projects. We hope you will participate in some of our neighborhood activities.

 

Am I a member of the Whitehall Homeowners Association?

As residents of Whitehall, the adults in your household are already members of the Whitehall Homeowners Association. When you pay the very nominal annual dues, you’ll also be eligible to vote in elections and on Association issues.

Read more about membership and dues payment on the Membership page

 

What does the Association do?

Your dues support Whitehall HOA activities such as improvement and maintenance of the Whitehall entrance gardens; upgrades of street signs at highly-visible intersections; displays throughout the neighborhood of hundreds of flags for special holidays; as well as the Christmas Lights contest, Fourth of July parade, block parties, and more. 

We need your participation for neighborhood improvement projects, WHOA-led street clean-ups, holiday gatherings and more. 

The Board of Directors works to encourage neighbors to maintain and improve their properties, and coordinates with Lexington County and other government entities for infrastructure maintenance.

The Whitehall HOA also provides practical support for other neighborhood organizations, such as the Whitehall Garden Club.

 

Where can I find more information about the Association and my neighborhood?

This website is regularly updated with current neighborhood events and plans. It also has information about the Association’s by-laws, Association newsletters, and community activities. 

You can use the Contact Us page to send an email to the Association. Use the navigation links below to learn more about WHOA and the many other community organizations and public services you'll want to know about. 

We hope the information here and elsewhere on the website will help you become more acquainted with your new neighborhood and the surrounding areas. Please contact us if you have any questions, or if we can help you in any way. We are glad you’re here, and we welcome you to Whitehall!
