Jason Etzel, our current HOA President, has taken the necessary steps to create our own Greenway Parc 2 community boundary within the Nextdoor App. For those who on active on this app, you will know that most users in this area are usually placed in the Legacy Park neighborhood as apparently when that boundary was setup, it was basically the whole area rather than it’s actual boundary.
If you are active in that app, your neighborhood should be have updated automatically because of your address, but if it has not, please reach out to him directly through that app.
How to Get a Neighborhood Boundary Modified
You first have to contact the leads/founder for the neighborhood you’re in. In our case, it was Legacy Parc. When I tried I never received a reply. You can contact them via a private message, which you can find by clicking on the green ‘Message’ button next to their name in the Neighborhood Directory.
It’s not a very good system they have setup for this, because the first person who creates a boundary for the area has control and can makes other leads as well. I guess Nextdoor thinks that person must know everything to give that kind of ability. In our case that person created the Legacy Parc boundary around all the others.. so they are the ones that can create or suggest new boundaries within that one.
Since the leads didn’t reply I could then contact support. Support then told me they then have to try to contact the leads as well. It took a few weeks in total because I had to wait for replies from the leads and then from support. And of course, the leads never replied to support either.
Then I had to proved to my boundary area to support, which I did by using Google maps and our HOA website because I had added a Google maps with our boundary on it. Once support created our boundary, it seems anyone in that had their address within that boundary had their neighborhood updated automatically in the App.
But then there is a 21 day waiting period for anyone to protest I guess. If it was a new area where no one lived you would have to invite a certain number of people to your neighborhood before that waiting period ends. In my case we already had all our residents so we should be good once the waiting period is over.
There is a help page on this in Nextdoor’s help section but it just explains what I said, and in less detail.
