It’s another lovely spring at Ocean Forest Condominiums. 

 Parking Update from the HOA Board

The HOA Board of Directors is pleased to announce the updated parking policies, rules, and agreement for Ocean Forest. These revisions are a result of resident feedback, thoughtful discussion, and careful consideration by the Board.

We understand how challenging it can be to find available uncovered parking for both residents and guests. Our goal with these updates is to help alleviate some of these difficulties, improve parking availability, and better serve the community as a whole.

We kindly ask that all residents review the new policies and make any necessary adjustments promptly if they are currently in violation.

The updated parking policies will go into effect on May 1. Until the new policies take effect, please continue to follow the existing rules.

In addition, we are pleased to announce that four new uncovered parking spaces are being added to help reduce overcrowding.

The project is expected to be completed in April.

Thank you in advance for your cooperation and flexibility as we implement these improvements.

If you have any questions or concerns, please contact the Property Manager’s office.

Thank you!
