Project Overview

North Oaks Home Owners’ Association (NOHOA) is a private, planned residential community located 10 miles north of St. Paul, Minnesota, covering approximately 5,739 of rolling wooded hills. North Oaks currently has over 1,800 homes, townhomes, and condominiums/apartments, with an estimated population of 5,000. The development plan preserves the natural beauty of the area, leaving much of the topography, drainage, woodlands, and wetlands undisturbed by roads and homes. Winding roads, cul-de-sacs, the absence of sidewalks, and the limited use of streetlights contribute to the privacy, peacefulness, and seclusion of the area.

In 2012, NOHOA conducted a Community Survey to learn about association members’ perspectives in three areas: NOHOA’s responsibilities, communication resources, and volunteering. The stated purpose of the Survey was to assist NOHOA in planning and performing its duties. The NOHOA Board has decided to conduct an updated Community Survey to benchmark the 2012 survey and gather input on association members’ views of new challenges and opportunities facing the community in preparation for future planning.
