Thank you to all the residents who participated in our community yard sale last month! The turnout was fantastic and it was so wonderful to see neighbors browsing, bargaining, and connecting throughout the community. Events like these are what make Anaheim Shores such a special place to live. A special thank you to Ben Gomez, who volunteered his time from start to finish to make the event a success. From marketing to day-of coordination, his efforts brought out buyers who were canvassing the community before the posted start time. We are grateful for his continued dedication to our community. Mark your calendars now for our next community yard sale coming in March 2027. More details will be shared as the date approaches.

A reminder to all residents regarding our community policy on covered and stored vehicles: vehicles that appear to be stored or non-operational, including those covered with tarps or car covers, are not permitted to remain parked in community parking areas for extended periods. All vehicles parked in common areas should be in operable condition and actively used. Thank you for your cooperation in keeping our community parking areas clean and accessible for all residents.

The City of Anaheim has posted warning signs near our community and at John Marshall Park regarding West Nile virus activity in the area. As mosquito season continues, we want to remind residents to take a few simple precautions to protect themselves and their families.

To reduce your risk, eliminate standing water around your home, including in flower pots, birdbaths, and gutters. Use insect repellent when spending time outdoors, especially during dusk and dawn when mosquitoes are most active. Wear long sleeves and pants when possible during peak mosquito hours. If you have concerns or would like to report standing water or mosquito activity, please call the Orange County Mosquito and Vector Control District hotline or visit Anaheim.net to learn more.

One of the most unique and meaningful traditions at Anaheim Shores is our special connection with Mito, Japan. Mito is a sister city of Anaheim, and that bond is beautifully reflected right here in our own community through our beloved Mito Bridge and the Mito walkway along our lake.

This summer, on Monday, August 24th, we had the wonderful pleasure of welcoming six students from Mito, Japan, ranging in age from 14 to 18 years old. The students toured our community, walked along the lake, and visited the Mito Bridge and moon bridge, taking in the thoughtful tribute that connects our two communities across thousands of miles. In Mito, Japan, there is even a dedicated area called Anaheim Way, a direct reflection of the mutual respect and friendship between our two cities.

We are proud to be a neighborhood that carries this tradition forward, and we look forward to welcoming future visitors from Mito for years to come. Click the link below to view photos from this year's visit!

After careful consideration, all driveway ramps throughout Anaheim Shores will no longer be permitted in our community. We kindly ask that all residents who currently have a ramp installed please make arrangements to have it removed by September 30, 2026.

This decision was made with the safety, functionality, and cohesive appearance of our community streets in mind, and we appreciate your understanding and cooperation. If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to reach out to Monica Sandoval at monica.sandoval@managementtrust.com or (714) 285-2626 ext. 1171.

As our community continues to grow and evolve, we want to make sure all homeowners have the information they need to protect their homes and our shared infrastructure. If you are planning any plumbing work that requires a water shutoff, please notify The Management Trust as soon as possible before getting started. This simple step helps us coordinate repairs smoothly and avoid any unintended issues.

We also encourage all homeowners to take a moment to locate their individual water shutoff valve and confirm it is in working order. A few things to keep in mind, the HOA covers the water line from the street to your shutoff, while the line from the shutoff to your home is the homeowner's responsibility. If your driveway has been modified and now covers the shutoff box, or if the box is being regularly parked or driven over, please be aware that repair costs in those situations would fall to the homeowner.

Residents will soon be receiving a letter requesting documentation to confirm that vehicles parked in driveways are currently registered, operational, and actively being used. Per our CC&R rules, stored or inoperative vehicles must be kept inside the garage and are not permitted in driveways.

If you have a vehicle in your driveway that is NOT in regular use, please move it into your garage to avoid additional notices or a compliance hearing. We appreciate the cooperation of the residents who have already addressed this and thank you for helping keep our community looking its best.

As a friendly reminder, each household in Anaheim Shores is limited to 2 pets per our community guidelines. Please also be advised that if you are regularly feeding stray or feral cats, those animals may be counted toward your household pet limit and could result in fines. We kindly ask all residents to refrain from feeding any stray animals, as leaving food out unintentionally attracts wildlife including coyotes and raccoons, which has been contributing to increased animal activity. Thank you for helping keep our neighborhood safe and clean for everyone.

We are excited to share that our updated Parking Permit Program is now active for all residents, using your approved license plate as your overnight parking authorization in common areas. This system helps keep our community organized and ensures vehicles are properly registered to avoid citations or towing, so please review the attached guidelines and set up or confirm your Patrol One profile. Please remember that garages are intended for vehicle parking, permits are issued only after inspection and approval, and vehicles that are not regularly moved may be considered stored or inoperative under HOA rules and should be kept inside the garage to remain in compliance. If you are a tenant, please contact your property owner directly to request a parking permit.

The community lake is one of the most beautiful features of Anaheim Shores, and it’s no surprise that others outside our neighborhood have taken notice. Recently, there has been an increase in individuals trespassing to fish at the lake. If you see anyone fishing or engaging in unsafe activities in the common areas, please report it immediately by calling Patrol One at (714) 541-0999 or Anaheim Police at (714) 765-1900.

We do not recommend approaching or confronting anyone directly. However, you may politely inform them that fishing is not allowed. The lake’s fish population is minimal, and protecting our wildlife is a priority for the entire community.e

Some residents have recently experienced issues with both incoming and outgoing mail. We've connected with our local post office to report the concerns and are actively monitoring the situation. Remember, mail tampering is a federal offense. If you see anyone interfering with the community mailboxes, please contact Anaheim Police at (714) 765-1900 or the USPS Postal Inspector at (877) 876-2455 immediately. 

Your awareness makes a difference. Thank you for helping keep our neighborhood safe.

For your safety and peace of mind, we encourage residents who live alone to share their emergency contact information with a trusted neighbor or update it with Monica Sandoval at The Management Trust.

There’s no greater joy than strolling through our community and spending time with my furry companions! However, some pet owners aren’t fulfilling their responsibility of cleaning up after their pets.

Anaheim Shores provides two pet stations by the lake, equipped with waste bags and trash receptacles for your convenience. Additionally, dog bags are located throughout the community, such as outside of Pool 2 and the common area off Windward. Please remember to carry bags with you and promptly clean up after your pets.
