HOMEOWNERS AT LAUREL PARK

In 1986 Homeowners At Laurel Park (HALP) was established, and the cottages were technically converted to condominiums. There are now over 100 cottages on 29 acres of land. With its eclectic, quirky cottages and mix of residents, it is a self-governing neighborhood with the lingering flavor of a summer camp retreat... Homeowners have an annual meeting where they approve the budget for the upcoming year, make any needed changes to the bylaws, and elect fellow homeowners to oversee the management of day-to-day affairs. The groundskeeping and administrative tasks are done by the property management company Pancione Associates of Easthampton.
