 NEW ROOMMATE? NEW RULES? What your lease says matters!


While having a roommate can be helpful for sharing expenses and responsibilities, please remember to consider your lease! All roommates (18 years and older) must complete the application process and be approved before they move in! This is a contractual obligation with the Air Force through the privatization project.


A resident with an unauthorized occupant is in violation of the lease agreement.


If you are thinking of getting married or having a friend or family member move in, please contact the Leasing and Management Office and we will walk you through the process!


Remember, subletting is strictly prohibited!


Speed Limit Reminder & School Bus Safety!


All streets in The Prairies and The Woods are 15MPH except for Spinning Road, which is 25MPH. Please remind your guests and delivery drivers of the posted speed limits.

 

With the school year started, please SLOW DOWN and watch for children playing or gathering near bus stops! If you are behind a school bus, slow down, stay alert, and watch out for children! Leave plenty of room between you and the bus in case they have to do an emergency stop!

 

Also, watch for kids attempting to cross the street after the bus has started to pull away. Even if you have the right to go, kids don't always pay attention, and no one wants a child hurt!

The Woods - Upcoming Driveway Repaving Project


 This project is being completed by Vandalia Blacktop, a trusted PWF-contracted vendor, and is part of our ongoing efforts to improve both safety and curb appeal in the neighborhood.


What to Expect:


In preparation for paving, you may see PWF staff and contractors in the area performing the following tasks:


  • Removing tree roots
  • Relocating or removing downspouts that may interfere with the repaving process


Before work begins in your driveway:


  • Each resident will be notified individually.


Important Parking Notice:

Once the work begins in your driveway:


  • You will not be able to park in your driveway or garage for approximately 4 to 5 days
  • Temporary "No Parking" zones will be posted and updated daily - please ensure your vehicle is not parked in these areas during active construction. Please refrain from parking in any driveways that are currently under construction or in cul-de-sacs.


We appreciate your patience and cooperation. During this time, some residents may need to temporarily park near or in front of your home. Your understanding is greatly appreciated.


Accessibility Needs:


If someone in your household has mobility needs or requires driveway access, please contact the maintenance office once you receive your phase notification letter. We'll make every effort to accommodate you.


Thank you for your support as we work to improve and beautify your community!

Courtyard Sign Lighting Upgrades - Prairies Legacy

Be A Neighborhood Representative!


Wright Patt is looking for volunteers to be neighborhood representatives for the Resident Council!


Members must be active duty or their spouse. The neighborhood representative will work with privatized housing (PWF), the military housing office (MHO), the resident advocate, and meet quarterly with Wing Leadership. Interested persons may contact Wendy Johnson at Wendy.Johnson.10@us.af.mil, for more information.

 

For safety reasons, the playground located at Longstreet and Vandorn Lanes is temporarily closed and will remain inaccessible until further notice.


WPAFB has begun construction in the area, extending from the entrance of Longstreet Lane to the existing green fence. This work will include the installation of temporary fencing, and contractors will require access to the backyards of homes along this route.


In the coming weeks, base personnel or affiliated contractors will conduct site investigations of the storm sewer system in your neighborhood as a result of recently discovered soil erosion. As a precaution, fencing has been installed in specific areas and signage placed for the safety of residents. Monitoring of the system will continue, and additional fencing will be installed as needed to ensure resident safety.


We understand this may cause some inconvenience and sincerely appreciate your patience and cooperation as this essential safety project is completed.
