MY HOME

Posted in: San Antonio Creekside
AS OF OCTOBER 2001, MY WIFE AND I COMPLETED 5 YEARS OF LIVING IN CREEKSIDE. WE COULD COUNT THE NUMBER OF HOMES ALREADY BUILT ON ONE HAND. WHAT I ENVISIONED THIS SUBDIVISION WOULD LOOK LIKE IN 5 YEARS IS NOT EVEN CLOSE TO WHAT I SEE TODAY. I SAW PEOPLE TAKING PRIDE IN THEIR HOMES AND CHILDREN PLAYING IN THE RECREATION AREA, A CLUBHOUSE, AND POSSIBLY EVEN A SWIMMING POOL. THE REALITY OF THE SITUATION IS THAT WE HAVE THE RECREATION AREA, AND A NICE ONE IT IS. INSTEAD OF ALL PEOPLE TAKING PRIDE IN THEIR HOMES, ABOUT 70% OF THE HOMEOWNERS TAKE PRIDE IN THEIR HOMES. THE OTHER 30%, THINK THE ONLY DIFFERENCE BETWEEN GRASS AND WEEDS IS THAT WEEDS GROW QUICKER THAN GRASS AND REQUIRE LESS CARE, SO THEY HAVE DECIDED TO ONLY GROW WEEDS IN THEIR YARDS. THESE HOMES ARE USUALLY EASY TO SPOT, BECAUSE THE USUALLY HAVE A THEIR TRASH CANS OUT IN FRONT OF THEIR HOMES AND USUALLY IN FRONT OF THEIR GARAGES BUT, THAT'S OK, BECAUSE THEY ALSO MAY HAVE A UTILITY TRAILER PARKED IN THEIR DRIVEWAY AND THEIR ''CARS'' PARKED IN THE STREET. PROBABLY HALF OF THE RESIDENTS OF CREEKSIDE, HOWEVER ARE NOT BOTHERED BY THIS, BECAUSE THEY DRIVE SO FAST DOWN SENISA SPRINGS THEY USUALLY DON'T NOTICE ALL THESE THINGS. WHAT WILL HAPPEN IN ANOTHER 5 YEARS? ONLY WE AS THE RESIDENTS OF CREEKSIDE CAN DECIDE WHAT OUR NEIGHBORHOOD WILL LOOK LIKE THEN.

I TOTALLY CONCUR WITH MY HOME, AND UNDERSTAND HIS/HER FRUSTRATION. I TOO AM DISAPPOINTED WITH THE WAY PEOPLE UPKEEP THEIR HOMES YARDS, ETC... WE AS A COMMUNITY NEED TO REPORT ALL VIOLATIONS TO SPECTRUM PROPERTY MANAGEMENT, PH#494-0659. AND HOPEFULLY THEY CAN LOOK INTO OUR CONCERNS.?? A HOME IS A PRICELESS INVESTMENT, LETS ALL GET ON THE BALL AND REPORT THESE VIOLATIONS..

Pride in Creekside

I have lived in Creekside for 5 yrs, and I admit readily that my yard looks bad. None of you need to remind me of this fact, but because of problems I have had in the past I have not always been able to keep up with my yard. Now I am trying to get my yard back in good shape but it takes time, and money, which is still in short supply.
I'm sorry that you don't think it's fast enough but I am doing what I can with the limited time I have each day.
I am sorry that I have not been able to do more in the past, but some of us are on a limited budget and can only buy a few things at a time
