Winter Weather Safety

With these shorter days and colder nights, it’s just a matter of time before temperatures start to drop below freezing causing any rain or dew to freeze. We urge all residents and their guests to please use caution, drive slowly, and watch for black ice or slippery conditions. Please report any icy or slippery conditions to the office so our staff may address these issues. We want to be sure everyone is safe.

To reduce heat loss in the buildings we are asking residents to refrain from opening the stairwell windows during the winter months. An unnecessary increase in heating costs due to open windows can be prevented by this small act. Your cooperation is appreciated.

Please be sure to maintain the heat in your utility room located on your balcony to at least 55 degrees to prevent hot water pipes from freezing.

Holiday Package Precautions

As the holiday season quickly approaches there will be an increase in package delivery full of gifts for friends and family.

We encourage you to take extra precautions when setting up deliveries. Here are a few ways to ensure your package gets to you:

Set delivery times for when you are available to directly receive the delivery or require a signature.
Make arrangements with a trusted neighbor or relative to receive your packages.
Deliver packages to your place of work if you have the ability.
Track your deliveries.

If these options are not available, we encourage you to insure any valuable packages. We also encourage our residents to lock their vehicles and take any personal and valuable items inside! We hope residents will take these precautions with the result being safe delivery of their cherished gifts.

Snowstorm Procedures

It’s the time of year when we must ask for your cooperation with our snow removal efforts. With the winter month’s upon us we would like to remind everyone that while the men are plowing, other than parking in your carport, the ultimate support would be for you to clean your car off and move it to a location that has already been plowed. If that is not possible, we ask that you move your car at least once every 12 hours during a storm.

If that is not possible, we ask that you move your car at least once every 12 hours during a storm. This is important as the plow team is contracted to perform snow removal during the snowstorm and return the following day for final cleanup. If a storm occurs overnight please move your vehicle as soon as possible the next morning.

Attention Pet Owners

We would like to thank pet owners who have been using our pet stations for cleaning up after their animals! Our ground crew spends many hours maintaining the property, and we know they appreciate knowing the grounds are clear from pet waste. Thank you for doing your part!

Renter's Insurance - A Little Peace of Mind

As always, we recommend our residents have Renter's Insurance. Please be advised that while our insurance policy covers certain types of damage to our buildings, it doesn’t provide coverage for your personal belongings. Whether you choose to use a local insurance agency or find an online option, it is sure to bring you some peace of mind against any accidents that could come. Here are a few Concord area Insurance Companies:

Liberty Mutual Insurance

Phone: 603-369-5456

Pay Your Rent Online with Zego Pay!

The Village at Thirty Pines offers residents the ability to pay online through Zego Pay.

Interested in paying online? First, contact your property manager to get your Lease ID, you'll need this to register to Zego, and then go to gozego.com to register.

Safety Reminder

I would like to take this opportunity to remind residents of ways to remain safe within our community

Children continue to play outside on a daily basis. Please keep this in mind as you are driving and respect the 10 mph speed limit.
Please remind children to avoid playing in snowbanks while our grounds team is clearing snow from the roads and parking lots.
For all the walkers and runners out there, it is safer to walk/run against traffic so that you can see what is approaching. Please wear reflective clothing at night!
Do not allow outsiders access to your building if you do not know who they are. The security door and system is in place for the protection of you and your neighbors.

Live Christmas Tree Care & Disposal

If you are planning to get a live tree this year, it is very important to keep it well-watered during the holiday season! Fresh trees should be watered at least twice a day with lukewarm water. Also, it is very important that any Christmas tree should be kept at least 5-6 inches away from any heat source. When the time comes for you to dispose of your live tree, please put it in a tree bag (available at stores like Walmart) and place it next to the dumpster, but please ensure you do not block the dumpster for other residents. Please do not drag your unwrapped tree through the hallways and do not throw trees over balconies.

We appreciate your help with this!
