Princeton Estates Homeowners Association

Hello, it is time for renewing your PEHOA annual membership dues ($30 per household) for 2025. We have added a new payment service this year which should lower our costs (they provide free services for non-profit organizations). The more people that use this, the less cost and work for our PEHOA board. Please use this link to pay the $30 dues, regardless if you use the group rate for Republic trash services:

If you have questions, please email the PEHOA Board at PehoaKentwood@gmail.com.

Thank you,

PEHOA Board

Hi neighbors!

I hope this message finds you well and enjoying a peaceful holiday season. Like many of you, these past 3-4 months have been particularly challenging. Unfortunately, the challenges have been somewhat overwhelming since early fall, and my performance as Treasurer of PEHOA hasn’t always matched my desire to serve. I sincerely apologize to those affected personally by this.  

With that in mind, I want to let you know that I will be stepping down as Treasurer as of January 1st. Angie Hinkle will be taking over the role, and I hope you’ll show her the same level of support and understanding that you’ve so graciously extended to me over the past four years.

Looking ahead, I’m pleased to share that for those of you receiving Trash Service through PEHOA, Republic will take over the administration of the waste removal program starting in the new year—without affecting our discount. Beginning in January, you will receive quarterly bills for trash services directly from Republic, and payments will also go directly to them.

For any concerns—missed pickups, bulk pickups, replacement bins, etc.— you’ll now contact Republic instead of PEHOA. They offer several ways to connect, including their smartphone app, website, phone line, and email.

Lastly, please note that in the next couple of weeks, PEHOA will be billing current members for dues only, which remain at $30 per year.  You still must be a paid member of PEHOA in order to receive trash services from Republic with the discount.

Thank you so much for the grace you’ve shown me over the past four years. I hope you’ll extend that same grace to Angie and the rest of the truly wonderful people on your PEHOA Board in the coming years. It has been an honor to serve as your Treasurer, and I’m so grateful for the opportunity to contribute to our community.

Beth Lewis, PEHOA Treasurer

This year, the flashiest, most festive entries on our contest Google Form were entered into a raffle for the Grand Prize, a $100 gift card.  Everyone who did not win the Grand Prize were entered in a raffle for four $25 gift cards.  The PEHOA Board opened up the contest to more participants and wanted to give everyone who made an effort to decorate a chance to win.  Thank you to Angie Hinkle for organizing the contest!

This year, we will be trying something a little different in an attempt to get as many houses decorated as possible.  Every neighbor who makes an effort to put up outdoor holiday decor will be entered to win one of four $25 gift cards.  The Top 10 houses who go above and beyond to “wow” the neighbors will get an additional chance at a $100 gift card.  If you have contributed to making our neighborhood look festive, simply enter your address below and indicate whether you consider your home to be in the top 10.  (Judges will verify before declaring any winners.)  Entries will be accepted through Sunday, December 8 and we plan to compile a fun scavenger hunt of the most unique outdoor fixtures.

Simply fill out this Google Form by Sunday, December 8th to enter to win!

Dear PEHOA Members with Republic Services:

We wanted to inform you that we are currently working to address a service issue with our trash provider, Republic. There have been some recent organizational and staffing changes at Republic that have caused delays in fulfilling service requests from our residents in a timely manner. The PEHOA board is working diligently to pursue a resolution to this problem.

We appreciate your patience and understanding as we work through this situation and will provide updates as soon as we have more information.

Thank you for your continued support!

Sincerely,

Your PEHOA Board Members

April 25, 26 & 27 (Thur, Fri, Sat.)

Dates for our neighborhood-wide spring garage sale are now set. There are no specific opening/closing times … residents may start and end their sale whenever they choose.

For Princeton residents who are having a sale, if you are a current paid member of PEHOA, you can get your home listed on our GARAGE SALE MAP. The deadline to get listed on the map is April 11 (email to bloom969@att.net and put “For Map” in the subject line). The maps will be available to the public at the entrances to the neighborhood, at the Kentwood library, and downloadable on this website. You don’t have to be on the map in order to have a sale.

On Saturday April 27, there will be a FOOD TRUCK and ICE CREAM TRUCK at Stauffer Station (corner of Stauffer Ave./52nd Street) from 10:00 am – 2:00 pm, so save a little bit of your money for those. We will also have SCAVENGER HUNT sheets for kids.

If you are currently receiving trash service through PEHOA and need a change of service, please download our CHANGE OF TRASH SERVICE form HERE. Fill it out and e-mail the completed form to pehoakentwood@gmail.com. Thank you.
