Congratulations to our 2025 Holiday Decorating Contest Winners! There was stiff competition this year, as 20 homes were nominated by Northwood Hills residents. After the votes were tallied, the top two vote-getters were the Henderson Family on Briar Cove (receiving 20% of the votes) and Heather & Kellie on Stonehill Dr (receiving 12% of the votes). For their efforts, they can now display a yard sign announcing their win and they received a gift card from Roman Cucina, courtesy of NHHA sponsor Kathryn Nelson Design. All of our nominated homes are worthy of praise, and if you haven't had a chance to see them in person yet, check out the list here! Take a scenic drive around the neighborhood after dark over the holidays and enjoy the festive atmosphere!  

Voting is closed! We need your help to crown winners for our Holiday Decorating Contest! The winners are chosen by YOU, the Northwood Hills community. (THE NHHA BOARD DOES NOT CHOOSE THE WINNERS). The top 2 vote-getters will have a temporary sign placed in their yard announcing their win, a photo of their yard published in the Breeze Newsletter and on our website, and a restaurant gift card donated by NHHA Sponsor Kathryn Nelson Design. Thank you, KND! Here's a list of the homes that can be voted on. After you've had a chance to drive around and review as many homes as possible (after dark!), please select your favorites through this link. One submission per email address and you can vote for yourself! Voting is open through 9am Wednesday morning, 12/17. Thanks for participating! 

Congratulations to our 2025 Halloween Decorating Contest Winners! The Hebert Family on Sprucewood Dr and Jason and Jeremy on Teakwood Dr pulled out all the stops to get into the spooky season spirit. These two households prevailed as our top two vote-getters out of the 13 nominated houses. For their efforts, they can now display a yard sign announcing their win and they are receiving gift cards from Roman Cucina, courtesy of NHHA sponsor Ready Roofing & Solar. Big thank you to our residents who nominated neighbors, those who participated in the contest, and those who voted on the winners.  

Save the Date for NHHA's Good Neighbor Day Celebration coming up in the afternoon of Sunday, September 28th. This year we're planning a pop-up event in the circle drive of Northwood Hills Elementary to provide an opportunity to stop by, grab a drink or snack, meet your neighbors and NHHA Board Members, and drop off donations for the RISD Clothes Closet. This organization helps preK - 12 students in financially challenging situations gain clothing they can comfortably and proudly wear. Students in need of clothing assistance are identified by either a school counselor or campus nurse. (Or a parent can contact the school to ask for clothing assistance for their student). Once identified, each student receives a week's worth of clothes including shoes, socks, winter coat, new underwear, and toiletries, among other things. Last year, the Clothes Closet helped 744 students! If you can't stop by during the event from 2-4pm, but still want to donate goods, just let us know! We're happy to pick up or arrange another day/time for drop-off. Here's a starter list of items you can donate: new or like-new clean and current clothing new or like-new winter accessories like hats, gloves, scarves, and coats new [...]

The first weekend in April is the Annual April Alley Clean-Up. Since Bulk Trash pickup for Northwood Hills begins Monday, April 14, this is the perfect opportunity to tend to your alley and dispose of any brush or debris you clear out. Each homeowner is responsible for maintaining the area from their back property line to the center of the alley. That includes trimming bushes so they don't scrape cars or obstruct the alley. Trees that overhang the alley are required to be trimmed up 15 feet to allow clearance for garbage collection trucks. If trucks have to maneuver to avoid your branches, trash, or other debris, chances are they will cause damage to your alley in the process! Let's keep it clean.
