ESTABLISH ROOTS
The Groves, a new kind of planned community by Ashlar Development, is where lifestyle meets nature. Ashlar contracts with CCMC for community management services on behalf of the residents. CCMC, a national leader in community management, provides a dedicated team to assist in overseeing and maintaining the daily operations of the community.

GET OUTSIDE
From toddlers to 55+, we host a variety of events for all interests so you can mingle at the next adult social or catch the next yoga class. Now that you’ve moved in, we invite you out to explore the trails and parks, meet your neighbors, and experience what living life in the woods is all about.

ARCHITECTURAL REVIEW
The Groves requires all Owners to submit an application for any exterior improvement. Applications are reviewed for approval by the Architectural Control Committee. The Committee has up to 45 days to form a decision following receipt of the completed application, payment(s), and plans. We ask that you please submit your applications timely to avoid delays. A Resident must receive written approval prior to construction or modification of improvements commencing.
