Dear Amerige Heights Residents,
As the new General Manager of this beautiful community, I am filled with gratitude for the opportunity to serve each of you. I am reminded daily of the unique bond we share and the values we hold dear. The Amerige Heights slogan, “It’s neighborly here,” resonates deeply with me and reflects the essence of what makes our community so special.
Being a good neighbor goes beyond simply living next door to someone. It means actively contributing to a harmonious and supportive environment. When we embrace neighborliness, we create a community where everyone feels welcome and valued.
Consider the positive impact of being mindful of your actions:
- Parking considerately on trash day ensures that everyone’s bins are collected without hassle
- Being aware of noise levels, especially during late or early hours, helps maintain a peaceful atmosphere
- Attending to maintenance responsibilities, such as lawn care or shared backyard fences, shows respect for your neighbors’ property and fosters a sense of pride in our shared spaces.
These small acts of consideration and kindness can significantly improve the quality of life for everyone in our community. It’s up to each of us to make an effort. When we all contribute, we create a safer, cleaner, and more enjoyable place to live.
Let’s continue to uphold our slogan and work together to ensure that “It’s neighborly here” isn’t just a saying, but a way of life. Thank you for your continued dedication to making our community the wonderful place it is.
Sincerely,
Flint Faulkner, PCAM
General Manager

Dear Amerige Heights Community Members,
I hope this message finds you well. As part of our ongoing efforts to ensure a pleasant, and well-maintained living environment, we would like to address several important topics that require your attention and cooperation. Your participation is crucial in maintaining the high standards of our community and ensuring a harmonious living experience for everyone.
Bicyclists:
Recently, we’ve observed several incidents involving bicycles in our community where riders have not been adhering to traffic laws. For the safety of all residents, we ask that you:
- Be Mindful of Bicyclists: Always be cautious when driving or walking in areas frequented by cyclists. Bicyclists should use bike lanes where available and follow all traffic signals and signs.
- Educate Your Family Members: Ensure that all family members understand and follow traffic rules while riding bikes. This includes stopping at stop signs, using hand signals for turns, and wearing helmets. We urge families to be extra vigilant, as we live in close proximity to schools, and there may be students who are riding around the community unattended. Unsupervised riding can lead to accidents or encounters with vehicles and pedestrians. Please ensure that any residents of your home, family members, and guests are properly supervised to avoid accidents.
Lawn Maintenance:
Maintaining the aesthetic appeal of our community is a shared responsibility. We ask all homeowners to:
- Attend to Your Lawns: Regularly manicure and maintain your lawns. Overgrown grass and unkept gardens detract from the community’s appearance and adversely impact property values. Keeping your property well-maintained helps preserve the value and beauty of our neighborhood.
Leash Law for Dogs:
As a reminder, according to both the City of Fullerton regulations and Amerige Heights governing documents:
- Dogs Must Be on a Leash: All dogs must be leashed at all times. This rule is in place to ensure the safety of your pets, other residents, and their pets. Failure to adhere to this requirement can result in fines and create unnecessary risks.
- Reporting: Please contact Animal Control if you see pets off-leash in violation of city code.
Neighbor-to-Neighbor Fences:
Many of our homes have fences that connect to neighboring properties. These shared fences require mutual cooperation and understanding:
- Survey and Discuss Fence Repairs: We encourage homeowners to survey their neighboring fences and engage in discussions with their neighbors about necessary repairs or maintenance. Open communication can help prevent misunderstandings and ensure that shared fences are kept in good condition.
- Design Review Application: If you are considering making changes to a shared fence (beyond a like-for-like replacement), please be aware that a Design Review Application is required. This application can be obtained through resident.actionlife.com. Submitting this application ensures that any modifications are reviewed for compliance with community standards.
We appreciate your attention to these matters and your continued efforts to maintain the quality and safety of our community. By working together, we can ensure that Amerige Heights remains a wonderful place to live for everyone.
Thank you for your cooperation and support.

Management continues to receive periodic reports related to crime and activity that requires Fullerton Police Department intervention. It has come to our attention that some owners may believe that the homeowners association is the proper entity to assist residents with criminal activity. Unfortunately, this is not the case. We always strongly recommend that owners submit these reports to Fullerton PD, as matters related to theft, break-ins, and all other crimes that affect our community’s sense of security falls within the jurisdiction of the police department. The Board understands and empathizes for your concerns as they too, are members of the community. In fact, a Board Member had their window broken into during the last board meeting. This should help illustrate that the Board is motivated, but simply not able to handle matters related to public safety – this is 100% a function of the police department.
Although the patrol service and the various neighborhood watch groups might help deter crime, they can only report a crime to the police department when they witness it, and they cannot make arrests. Please ALWAYS call 911 or the Fullerton Police Department first and foremost. Although owners may be frustrated that the Homeowners’ Association does not have greater ability to intervene, this is simply not something that the CC&Rs (which define the Board’s authority) nor the law give the HOA authority to become involved with. Simply put this means neither management nor the Board is able or authorized to intervene in police matters! As such, neither management nor the association can reasonably be expected to substitute for law enforcement, and hope that owners understand that they themselves are ultimately responsible for their own safety and belongings.
Owners are encouraged to do the simple things like maintain their home lights and park in their garage, as well as more involved things like attend city council meetings, schedule to meet with the local police department, and consider participating in the Neighborhood Watch Committees (which are not related to or affiliated with the Amerige Heights Community Associations). If you are interested, management can give you the contact information for a local neighborhood watch committee (not affiliated with Amerige Heights Community Association) to join forces and support your neighbors. Please be assured that the Board only can do (and has done) what is within their limited authority – the Board Members have contacted PD time and time again over the years, have sent newsletters/eblasts reminding owners to be vigilant, have met with the Police Chief, have joined Neighborhood Watch Programs, and have encouraged owners to report crime to police. The Board members have the same responsibility and resources as you; the Board does not have more or less authority on issues related to crime than you, as a homeowner. While we welcome reports of your experiences, we ask that you not direct your frustration towards Management or the Board, and that you evalute expectations regarding the limited resources that the HOA has in relation to police matters.
Finally, please remember that there is power in numbers! We urge you to contact the police if you are the victim of crime and use the non-emergency number if you want to report suspicious activity – the more reports that are submitted to PD, the more that they will allocate resources to help the homeowners in the community. We are hopeful that owner reports will cause the police department to allocate more resources to patrolling the community! We are all in this together.
Thank you.

It has been brought to our attention that the City of Fullerton has begun tagging vehicles parked on public streets during the posted No Parking hours. The signs clearly state no parking every Thursday from 11:00 am – 4:00 PM. Please be mindful of these areas, as the city intends to issue tickets to vehicles found in these areas! Please contact the City of Fullerton directly at 714-738-6300 with any questions related to parking infractions on public streets.
Attached you will find a map that illustrates the areas governed by the City. This is a courtesy reminder, as city-owned public streets are not within the jurisdiction of the Amerige Heights Community Association.
*PLEASE NOTE THIS POST HAS BEEN UPDATED WITH A MORE COMPREHENSIVE MAP SHOWING HUGHES DR. CORRECTLY MARKED PUBLIC ALL THE WAY TO BASTANCHURY RD.*.

You may have noticed the Park West tree crew working in the community this week. The Board of Directors has recently approved removal of 34 Tipuana trees in McDermont Park. The trees in this area will be replaced with less root-invasive trees shortly, once concrete repair/replacement in this area is complete. We assure you that the removals were necessary in order to preserve the condition of the streets and to avoid further damage to concrete/asphalt in the future. The Board of Directors is working hard to ensure that the community remains beautiful for generations to come!
Additionally, El Veloz Cleaning Services has been contracted to complete the exterior cleaning of the Plexiglas Panels that surrounds part of the Community. They are scheduled to start working at the community beginning on July 17th.

The additions to Turf Guidelines is included in its entirety; the changes to the Clubhouse Rules and Regulations are posted via General Notice in the resident portal at resident.actionlife.com (left Column when you log in, under “My Community>Documents>General Notice Posting Civil Code 4360”
- A description of the purpose and effect of the proposed rule change is as follows:
The purpose of the Turf Guidelines is to ensure that there is consistency in the specification’s owners should adhere to when completing turf renovations. The desired effect is that the consistency will keep property values high, and serve as a metric to guide owners when submitting Design Review Applications.

The desired effect is to ensure that owners are able to walk-in to obtain support with any association-related issues during the week.
- Member Comments: If you wish to provide written comment, please send your comments to the management office c/o Action Property Management, 2603 Main Street, Suite 500, Irvine, CA 92614, or on-site to the Legacy Clubhouse, or via email to amerige@actionlife.com.
