Ellsworth Village consists of 33 condominiums and is incorporated as an age restricted community (55+) and is governed under the General Laws of Massachusetts Article 183a. The first units were purchased in 2006. The last units were purchased from the developers in 2012 and 2013.
By 2016, about a third of the condos had been repurchased. Units are offered for sale infrequently. Ellsworth Village is uniquely located. It is quite secluded, yet offers easy access to shopping and services.
The Homeowners Association meets annually – usually in October or November. Attendance by unit owners is strongly encouraged. This is when owners elect or re-elect its Board of Governors who lead the community both through policy and financial oversight. Owners receive a recap of the year’s accomplishments, a financial update and are presented with the Board’s Goals for the next year.
Traditionally, the annual meeting had been held in person at the Acton Library. During the Covid years we learned to use Zoom. In 2024 we continued with a virtual meeting in order to accommodate residents with mobility issues or who may need to be out of town. This will also help establish a quorum – required to conduct the meeting.
Ellsworth Village has contracted with Linear Property Management to provide for many services. Linear secures contracts for landscaping, snow removal, waste collection, and provides maintenance services for the common areas. They handle the Association’s finances by collecting monthly HOA dues and dispersing funds as required. Essentially, the management company handles the day to day operation of the Village as well as providing advice on issues of budgets and long term reserve planning.
Residents should contact Linear Property Management for any questions about finances, condo policies, rules and regulations and maintenance requests. Our property manager is Linda Allen. (Linda@Linearproperty.com).
A volunteer Board of Governors, consisting of five members, oversees the general affairs of the Village. They consider issues of finance, maintenance and rules and regulations. The Board assigns it’s decisions to the management company to execute. The Board of Governors are guided by three documents: The Master Deed, The By Laws, and the Rules and Regulations. From time to time, the Rules and Regulations are amended by the Board. In the case of any conflict between documents, the Master Deed will prevail.
The members of the Board of Governors are elected at each annual meeting. They are currently:
- Bill Alstrom – unit 25 – President
- Bob Hughes – unit 38 Treasurer
- Leona Palmaccio – unit 22 – Clerk
- Cynthia Heiland – unit 20
- Tanya Markish – unit 23
Unit owners are encouraged to approach any Board member or Linear Property Management with their interest in Board membership. Board members are elected each year for a one year term at the Annual HOA meeting.
New participation and fresh ideas are welcome.
