Welcome - WLHO- Westlake Homeowners Association

Whether you own or rent, you have chosen a neighborhood that is visually appealing, friendly and has numerous resources available to enhance your lives.
The physical layout of the neighborhood has been carefully planned to include green spaces, paths, sidewalks, lighting and safe traffic patterns. Thoughtful planning has also been given to behaviors that result in establishing and maintaining a harmonious community.
As part of our welcome, we offer below in brief format some guidelines that will help maintain and enhance the neighborhood that you have chosen. These guidelines are based on existing, enforceable covenants and restrictions, Lake Oswego ordinances or statues. Where relevant, links are included should you desire additional information.

Pets
It is a violation to permit any animal to cause unreasonable noise disturbance at any time of the day or night by repeated barking, whining, or other like sounds which may be heard beyond the boundary of the owner's or keeper's property. Dogs are required to be on a leash in all public areas unless in designated off-leash parks and are not permitted to run at large, urinate or defecate on others' property.

Coyotes
