The Vineyards at Wyndham Creek is a 188 unit, Single Family Home Community located in Sherwood, Oregon. Our beautiful neighborhood was built by Centex Homes in 2005. The neighborhood is a family-oriented community just off Hwy 99 with wide streets and green common areas.
The area is within walking distance to Sherwood’s Edy and Laurel Ridge schools, and the soon to be brand, new High School off Elwert Road. Our community is not far from Lady Fern Park and backs up to Sherwood’s wonderful Cedar Creek Trail. The quiet and desirable surroundings make it a great place to live where you can call home.
The Community is managed by a professional management company and governed by a Homeowners Association. Our Board of Directors meets quarterly to discuss Association business and meeting times and location is on our web site.
Please feel free to contact us with your comments, suggestions or would like additional information.

neighborhood in which residents enjoy increased property values and stay competitive within the community. These fines are intended to discourage and deter violations by homeowners and to keep violation to a minimum.
The Vineyards HOA Board is empowered by OR Statutory Law [ORS 94.630 (1)(n)(B)], and Association documents including the Declaration of Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions, Section 3.2, and the Bylaws, Article VIII, Section 1 (a), to assess financial and other penalties against individual members in order to remedy monetary and non-monetary violations by those members of the Declaration, Bylaws, and Rules and Regulations.
Our new Financial Penalties Resolution will be effective May 1, 2020, and reads as follow:
1. Annual Dues – Late Payment
Annual Fees statements shall be mailed thirty (30) days prior to the due date. Typically, this will require that statements are mailed by December 1st and fees are due by January 1st. Fees will be considered late if not received fifteen (15) days after the due date and a late fee of $50.00 will be charged to the homeowner account and a statement will be mailed to the homeowner. A finance charge of 18% APR shall be charged for all unpaid fees (1.5% each month). An additional statement will be mailed thirty (30) days following the initial statement.
If a homeowner account is sixty (60) days late, a payment demand shall be mailed with the statement. The Demand shall state that if full payment is not received within thirty (30) days, the account will be sent to the Association’s collection attorney for collection.
2. NSF Checks - $75.00 per occurrence
Lot owners will be assessed a $75.00 fee for any Non-Sufficient Checks written to the HOA for any dues payments, violation fees, or any other situation in which a check is presented to the HOA.
3. CCR Violations / Resolution
Lot owners will be notified by mail of a violation WARNING that includes a photo and description of the violation. The owners shall have fifteen (15) days from the date of the letter to comply. If the issue is still not resolved after the initial 15 days, a second letter will go out with the $50 fine. If the issue remains open and not resolved, the Homeowner will be offered a hearing with the HOA Board of Directors to discuss the disposition of the issue.
For one-time or incidental violations, if compliance has not occurred after 15 days, a $50.00 compliance fee will be charged.
Additional fees shall be charged as follows:
2nd occurrence of violation within a 12-month period: $75.00
3rd occurrence, and any subsequent occurrences within a 12-month period: $150.00
For on-going violations, if compliance has not occurred after 15 days, a $5.00 per day compliance fee shall be charged. The daily fee will continue until compliance has been achieved.
4. Architectural / Landscape Review Form
The ARC form will be submitted to the ARC Committee and they will have up to 21 days to review the project.
Failure to submit the ARC form PRIOR to starting a project will result in a $75 fine. A notice will be sent to the homeowner stating that a fine will be assessed if the form is not submitted within 15 days. Each additional week for failure to comply will result in a $25 per week fine.
HOA Message Board
Vineyards CCR Violations Education Effort
The goal of our HOA CCRs (Covenants, Conditions & Restrictions) is to preserve, protect and enhance property values in the community. When you purchase a home in an HOA, you agree to follow and abide by the rules set forth in the CCRs.
Many of the common CCR Violations include Trash Cans, Landscape/Yard issues, Vehicles, Trailers, RV/Campers, and Exterior Structure Maintenance.
Our goal is that all CCR Violations are issued with fairness and consistency with no exceptions; the focus is to perpetuate, support, and strengthen property values while maintaining a positive appearance for the neighborhood.
If you get a letter, don’t take it personally: Remember that the rules were created to keep the community safe and comfortable for residents, including you. You agreed to abide by the rules when you bought your home.
Address it: Ignoring a violation won’t make it go away, and can make the situation much worse. Once you’ve received a violation notice, take steps to understand and correct the violation, and either pay or appeal the fine. The first letter is a ‘warning’ only and can be resolved with some simple action.
