Buying or Selling a Home?

Front Gates

To accommodate access by potential home buyers searching on their own and for open house showings, Arbor Hill's front gates are normally open on Sundays from 1pm to 5pm. Arbor Hill property owners or their representatives must be careful never to publicly disclose Arbor Hill front gate security access codes.

For Sale Signage

Arbor Hill has strict rules limiting signage in the neighborhood, including real estate signage. All signage must comply with the rules; temporary alternatives are not permitted. This is true whether it is a case of for-sale-by-owner, sale by a real estate agent/broker, or rent/lease. All real estate signage is limited to one sign per property. Also, that sign must conform with Arbor Hill's official format which defines the size of the sign, the use of the Arbor Hill logo (no other pictures nor logos permitted), the font, the text content (except for one optional text line at the bottom), mounting using a single small ground stake, etc. Therefore, such for sale or for rent signs must be ordered from Arbor Hill's designated printer, which is currently The Awards & Engraving Place in Hoover.
