University Park is an established residential, gated community that is known for flourishing landscapes and high-level architectural standards. All changes to the exterior or landscaping of a home in University Park must be approved by the Architecture and Landscape Committee (“ALC”) prior to the commencement of work.

The ALC meets weekly to review homeowner applications. Approvals are based on the published regulations.
