Interested in joining the Board?
The Ridgewood Hills Board of Directors consists of nine members, with three members' terms expiring each June. Because there is always value in hearing new thoughts and ideas throughout our neighborhood, in an optimal world there should be rollover and "new blood" each year. Board terms last three years once elected, and positions on the board are redetermined every year amongst elected board members. We are also seeking someone interested in serving on a committee to organize a picnic or holiday events for residents and their families. If you have interest in either, please e-mail or speak with any board member at your convenience. Contact information can be found under the 2019/20 Board tab at the top of this page.
Legal review and update of Ridgewood Hills documents under consideration as of Fall 2019
The Board is currently having a local law firm review all of our legal documents (Declaration of Restrictions, Bylaws, Articles of Incorporation, Amendments) in order to update, simplify, and modernize them (including deletion of language which no longer applies.) After updates are recommended, discussed, and endorsed by the board, all homeowners will be asked to vote and approve any changes, and 75% of homeowners will need to endorse the changes. More to come at a later date in 2019 as activities warrant.

Special Assessment District 2.0 (Concrete repairs completed - 2017-18)
Concrete roads (west side of Hillcrest) work began in September and was mostly completed by November. Sealing of joints and cracks will continue to be monitored, and part of the budget has been set aside to seal such cracks in the on an ongoing basis. Bids have been sought from independent contractors on this work.
Enhancements to Entranceways and AA Road/Ridge Completed
Many thanks to board members Bart Kreger, Ron Ross, Lori and Brent Kuhn (and a few residents who wish to remain nameless) who contributed to improvements made to the entranceways and also the corner of Ann Arbor and Ridge roads. New trees and seedlings were planted, mulch put down, and large boulders relocated. The investment of monetary capital was minimal, but the physical effort expended by the individuals above was significant. We appreciate the sweat equity put in to keep these projects affordable. We hope you agree the areas look great, and they will only improve over time as the trees grow. A consolidated list of Volunteer Efforts has been compiled and is now posted on the website. Click

Holiday Lights added to Entranceways at Ann Arbor Road
Many thanks to Lori and Brent Kuhn, who took the time to add holiday lights to the entranceways! The entrances on Ann Arbor Road were only recently permanently illuminated, thanks in large part to board members Bart Kreger and Ron Ross. For years, the Board has considered doing this project, but the cost estimates to deliver power to the signs had been deemed prohibitive. This time around, however, Bart and Ron worked closely with DTE Energy and a licensed electrical contractor to figure out a way to get this project done at 50% of past estimates. We hope you agree the illuminated signs make a tremendous addition to what was already a great place to live.
Repaving of Asphalt Roads Project Completed - Crack filling completed.
The project which began in August to reconstruct and repave the roads on the asphalt side of Ridgewood Hills was completed in late November of '13. Since then, the normal settling cracks have been filled, funded partially by Wayne County and Plymouth Township. We hope you agree the new roads have greatly improved the look and feel of Ridgewood Hills. We have also been told by realtors in the area this will improve our already strong home values.
New entrance monuments on Ridge Road
The Ridgewood Hills Homeowners Association extends a special THANK YOU to the families who agreed to have entrance monuments placed in the landscaping easement at the back of their properties. They are:
Chris Williams Family
V. V. Baht Family
Gary Moszynski Family
Michael Flanagan Family
Each of these families enthusiastically embraced this project from the outset, and they deserve our collective “thanks” for their support. We have received many compliments since the monuments were installed, with most saying they offer a substantial improvement to our living environment.
