North Raleigh · Off Six Forks Road
One drive, five courts,
134 townhomes.

- Huey
- Ohmann
- Kingsberry
- Crown Crest
All five run off Crown Oaks Drive, and all five are private.
Crown Oaks is a wooded pocket of North Raleigh — 134 two- and three-bedroom townhomes tucked between the 440 and 540 beltlines, a few minutes from shopping, parks, and restaurants, and quiet enough that most of the traffic on the property belongs to the people who live here.
The Association maintains the common ground, the front yards, and the exteriors of the buildings. Owners look after the inside of the home and whatever sits behind the back fence. Shared amenities are a swimming pool, tennis courts, and numbered reserved parking, and a private security patrol covers the property.
Policy is set by nine volunteer directors elected by the membership, who meet monthly. Assessments, work orders, and architectural submissions run day to day through Lemmon Tree Management.
Shared walls and common ground mean the rules reach further here than they would on a detached lot. Compliance with the governing documents is not optional.
Living here
The questions that come up most. Full text is in the rules booklet below.
Before you change anything outside
Written Board approval is required first — painting, doors, windows, light fixtures, fencing, decks, patios, and any planting. Submit the request through the portal and allow two weeks. Work done without approval may have to be undone at the owner's expense.
Trash and recycling
City green and blue cans only. Curbside Tuesday, back behind the building by Wednesday. Nothing left on the curb — call the City of Raleigh Solid Waste Services for a large-item pickup.
Parking
One numbered reserved space per unit. Two-bedroom homes may use one more, three-bedroom homes two more. Guests use visitor spaces. Speed limit is 10 mph.
Pets
Leashed at all times, never tied outside or left unattended on a deck or in a yard. Waste picked up immediately. Violations carry fines.
Board meetings
Third Tuesday of the month at 6:30 pm. Ask management or the Board President if you want to be on the agenda at least a week beforehand.
Governing documents
These are listed in order of authority. Where two documents disagree, the one higher on this page controls.
Recorded
Filed with the Wake County Register of Deeds and attached to your deed. Binding on every lot. Amended only by a vote of the membership.
Bylaws
How the Association runs: the Board's powers and duties, elections, terms, meetings, and quorum.

Approvals
