Understanding Common Property vs. Limited Common Property

Nassau Grove is a hybrid community in which both individual homeowners and the community as a whole own property.  This division is categorized as limited common property and common property.

Limited Common Property

Limited common property refers to areas that individual homeowners specifically own. These spaces are typically identified in each home’s plot plan, which details the boundaries and locations of limited common property around each residence.

Limited common elements for which the unit owner is responsible include:

• Driveway
• Walkway to the front door
• Garden beds
• Trees added by homeowners
• Sewer lines located on the unit’s limited common property
• Water lines from the meter outlet (pigtail) to the house

Common Property 

All homeowners in Nassau Grove collectively own common property. Examples include the Clubhouse, Pool, Tiki Hut, Bocce Court, Pickleball/tennis court, street islands, sidewalks, and grassy areas identified as common property on the Common Property Map. In most cases, there is no common property directly in front of or between the side yards of homes. However, in some parts of the community—such as where homes back up to each other, a pond, a berm, or the bike trail—common property is situated next to limited common property.

Accessing Property Information

To determine the specific boundaries of both common and limited common property for any home, residents can consult the Common Property Map and the Units & Plot Plans. By searching for the unit number and selecting “View Plan,” homeowners can identify these boundaries. Please note that the Common Property Map is intended for presentation purposes only; for precise measurements of limited and common property, refer to the Units & Plot Plans.

Guidelines for Walking in the Neighborhood

When walking through Nassau Grove, residents and guests are asked not to take shortcuts across the property between homes unless they have the homeowners’ permission. Alternatively, individuals should consult the plot plans and ensure they are only traversing common property.

The map below is an example of mistaking the large green space , nearly 40’ between two homes to be common property, when actually the common property is not at the end of the cul-de-sac on Corkscrew Court but rather to the left between the side of one home facing on Corkscrew and the backyards of the homes on Port Circle.
