Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Why should I join the River Trace Homeowner’s Association
A: RTHA provides opportunities for social interaction with your neighbors. There is an annual holiday party with the entire neighborhood decorated with luminaria lighting. There is also an annual summer block party. Your association also works to maintain the entry way so visitors have a positive impression of the neighborhood. The association has protected the members when the city planned to put parking for 300 cars at Metzger Park, and when a cellular phone company sought to install a tower on the border between association homeowners and the land north that was previously farmland. All of this is accomplished for a very low annual membership fee.
