New Residents

Welcome to Orchard Lake Estates

Homeowner's Associations offer many advantages and opportunities for an abundance of amenities that ensure a community's premier attractiveness and uphold property values. If this is your first time being part of an HOA, you may also have questions.

Important Note: This website serves as a backup repository only and is not actively maintained. For the latest notices, governing documents, and related information, please access the Spectrum App.

If you are an Orchard Lake Estates homeowner, email CONTACT@SpectrumAM.com to request access. We’re here to assist you in any way possible.

Once on the Spectrum App, you'll want to take a look at our Governing Documents to familiarize yourself with our HOA rules and regulations. We have also provided lots of useful information in our OLE New Residents Guide. Lastly, we encourage all residents to attend our monthly Board meetings to stay informed and voice their comments and concerns.

Homeowner's Association Membership

Membership in the Association is mandatory for all property owners.

Assessments

The current Orchard Lake Estates assessments are $1,300 per year. Your assessment provides funding to allow the HOA to maintain the community and provide services to all its residents.

Gate Access

Residents have two options to access the entrance gates.

First, and preferable, residents can use their vehicle EZ Tag to automatically open the gates when approaching within range of the scanner.

Secondly, residents can purchase a Key Fob to manually open the gates when pressing the button within range of the scanners.

Please contact SPECTRUM AM for further information on getting setup.

Visitor Access

Visitors can access the entrance gates through a passcode provided by a resident. The keypad to enter this code is located near the front gate.
