In the spirit of this emphasis for community events,  we would like to invite all residents to stop by to meet the members of your new management company, Circle C Properties , from 7pm to 9pm on Saturday July 12th. Enjoy the music, food, refreshments and great conversations with your neighbors in the courtyard.  In case of bad weather, the event will be moved to Unit #201.

   Circle C Properties began Management on May 1st and the transition so far has been virtually seamless. All the contact information you'll need can be found on the contact page on this site and will keep you informed of any thing that concerns your living at City Gates. Call Dave at 972-578-8462 ext 6 or e-mail hoacare@circlec.com  with any questions or visit the contact page for any other contact needs.

   The hot weather is creeping in and AC units are going to be in full force soon. It is important especially during the summer months to change your air filter regularly. If you have pets of any kind [except fish] they should be changed monthly. If you do not have animals you should change them at least every 60 days. Don't waste your money on the expensive filters as sometimes they are just as bad as having a dirty filter. When you purchase filters look for ones that have a looser pleat- the more expensive filters have a very tight pleating and restricts air flow. By changing your filters regularly you are saving on energy cost and also the possibility from your unit freezing up.

   Dryer lint traps
... you probably clean your lint trap with every load of laundry, or you should. However, dryer sheets cause a film over your filter which cannot be seen. The build up of this film is the main cause for dryer fires & or burning out your heating element in your dryer. Here is a way to test to see if you have a build up on your dryer lint filter.
    Remove the filter from your dryer. Take the filter to your sink and run hot water over it. If the water sits on top of the filter this means your lint trap is clogged and your dryer heating element is working harder. You can easily remove this film by cleaning it with hot soapy water and a soft toothbrush. This should be done at least every six months.






Paying your dues is as simple as it always has been. T
here is a box on the property and a box at Franconia Realty, or they will be processed by mailing them where you have been mailing them for now. You will be informed of any other options when they are implemented.
