WAHO President's Letter For April
Westchester Homeowners,
The month of April is traditionally "GET TO KNOW YOUR NEIGHBORS". Let's make a concerted effort to reach out to those who live among us. This practice is very effective; it works well for me and my block. Getting to know those who live among you also helps with WAHO deed restrictions and City code violations. Therefore, if there's ever an issue it's easier to resolve!!! Now, I can hear some of you right now concerning being left alone and living within yourself. Let's just be a team player and watch the results. Also, our city is considered to be BOOM TOWN at the present. Grand Prairie is a family city with a lot to offer. Begin to get out more and enjoy all that our city has to offer. The WAHO Community Garage sale will be announced in May.
P.S.- Let's strive to have respectful, meaningful conversations at all gatherings
President
John Stewart
Quote of the month: "Life is precious. Don't spend time around negative, toxic people. They
will drain the life right out of you."
Welcome to Westchester Association of Homeowners in Grand Prairie Texas. We are a Covenant and Deed Restricted Community with a Grand Prairie PID. WAHO has mandatory Deed Restrictions but with voluntary membership dues. We would like to extend a warm welcome to all our new members who have joined; we look forward to getting to know you. If you are interested in participating on a committee, contact a member of the board.
If you know of someone who recently moved in, please alert our Welcome Committee or a member of the board, they will greet the new neighbor with a WAHO Welcome Packet filled with information about the area to help them settle in. We need everyone to support our HOA by paying their dues so we can support our community in which we all live.

The area off S. Carrier and Polo Road is moving along (Where Charter School was going to be.) Westchester will have 2 types of Senior Living. 55+ and Assisted Living. There is a real need for this type of housing. A perfect fit for us in Westchester.
Mariposa at Westchester will have a 55+ Senior Living that will have 93 apartment type homes that will be all inclusive for the residents.
Mayberry Gardens has been completed and is now open. The facility is assisted Living and they will have some memory care availability. This also is around 100 residents.
We believe there is a real need for senior living in GP. So many of our residents in Westchester have to sell their home because a spouse passes away, they are retired and can no longer afford the upkeep and taxes. But when they go and try to find something, there is nothing. We have 2 other senior living communities in GP but both are full with a waiting list. There are a lot of areas that they could live where they do not feel as safe as they did in Westchester.
We want our aging seniors who want to stay in Westchester to be able to stay in Westchester and continue be a part of our community. We want them to be able do so and more importantly to stay safe and feel secure as they have for so many years.
Westchester will be getting another retail area in our community. The HOA's in Westchester have worked with the developer on retail at the corner of Polo and S. Carrier, next to the fire station. Plans go to P&Z in August. We have asked for outdoor seating like for a coffee house, etc... Details will come later after the approval process from the City.
If you have any questions or concerns please contact Rosemary Reed at 469-600-9075 or reedrosemary@sbcglobal.net.
