Welcome to our neighborhood! You have found it – an enchanted place to live and play, and we want to welcome you to our neighborhood! We have approximately 150 property owners on Interlachen Lane, Blue Lake Road, and Lachenview, around both Blue and Fairview Lakes.
Our homeowner’s association is Interlachen, Inc. First incorporated in 1930, we are likely the oldest continuously operating homeowner’s association in the state. We would like to invite you to become a member of our active and congenial group. The association owns and maintains Welsh Park on the Fairview Lake side, plus a small piece of property that provides dock access to Blue Lake. Your HOA also manages services not covered by the local government, including road repairs and street lighting along the single lane portion of Interlachen Lane.
On the social side, we sponsor picnics, potlucks, garage sales, art shows, band concerts, breakfasts, Easter egg hunts, Christmas caroling and decoration contests, Santa visits, open-house tours, and other fun activities for the young and young-at-heart. We also work with various law enforcement agencies and personnel to ensure a high degree of safety and security in the neighborhood. We watch out for each other. Getting involved with our Social Committee is an excellent way to get acquainted.
Welsh Park is a private community park for social gatherings. It has two children’s play structures, a basketball court, volleyball play area, covered gazebo, and a boat/swimming dock on Fairview Lake. HOA members on the Blue Lake side can use power boats for skiing and other aquatic sports. Blue Lake Park, a beautiful park across Blue Lake from our association, hosts triathlons and other events of interest. Fairview Lake is home to the infamous 4th of July decorated boat parades, mid-lake floating parties on party boats, end of summer brings a lighted boat parade, and numerous water sport activities as well!
Our community boasts a quality of life that is second to none in our area and we need your help and membership to maintain this special place! We have a volunteer board of governors, elected during our annual meeting every April. They manage our infrastructure and oversee committees and act as your spokesperson representing our community on issues and developments affecting the quality of our lives. Interlachen Inc. is a non-partisan entity and we are extremely well respected by our elected officials of Fairview, Metro, Multnomah County, and the State of Oregon.
Interlachen Inc. works with Metro in development of ordinances for registering power boats on Blue Lake and enforcing safe boating and lake use rules for all Blue Lake Homeowners. We also maintain close relations with the Interlachen Water PUD (your water supplier) and Fairview Lake Property Owners Association.
Our fiscal year runs from March 1 through the end of February. You must be paid to be “in good standing” to vote at our annual meeting. Our mailing address is Interlachen Inc., PO Box 96, Fairview, OR 97024.
The volunteer board meets approximately monthly. Visitors are welcome. Also, register your email address at our website https://www.interlachen-hoa.org/ for updates, announcements, future board meeting times, events, community highlights, history, by-laws and a contact list for any questions or concerns in our community
Again, Welcome Neighbor. We hope you meet your new neighbors soon, participate and enjoy living on the lakes!
