The neighborhood offers a variety of resident amenities including two large pools, recreatio

The Association offers an array of recreational activities for residents and non-residents alike including youth basketball, soccer, and swim team. Annual events include the fall and spring garage sales, the holiday market, car show, summer movie series, and holiday events which enhance community spirit and provide many opportunities for longtime and new residents to connect. The association is run by an elected seven-member Board of Directors who are selected annually by a vote of the membership. The Board of Directors are residents of the neighborhood who volunteer their time to provide guidance and oversight of the self-managed community. The Great Northwest Board of Directors meets twice monthly and welcomes and encourages the attendance and participation of homeowners in shaping the future of the neighborhood.
