... a mandatory homeowners association since 1973

A DeKalb County premier wooded community consisting of 1,164 homes, 70 acres of communal parkland, two lakes, with tennis and swim facilities.

Mainstreet is a mandatory Homeowners Association community with monthly assessments, protective covenants and architectural restrictions; it has been a property owners association (POA) since 2006. All homeowners are automatically members of the Association and are required by law to pay for the upkeep of the common property, to maintain their own property in accordance with the covenants, and to abide by the rules, regulations and procedures formulated pursuant to our constitution, covenants and by-laws. Mainstreet is governed by a five-member Board of Directors and managed by an on-site Management Staff to assist your daily needs with the day-to-day operations of the Community.

STONE MOUNTAIN CHILDREN DESIGNED

DREAM PLAYGROUND:

Foresters, Mainstreet Community & KaBOOM!

Hosted Build Day for New Playground

WE DID IT!

WHAT: Mainstreet Community Services Association, Foresters^TM and organizers from KaBOOM!, hosted a Build Day at the Mainstreet Community Pavilion on Saturday, May 5, 2012. Previously, children who live in Mainstreet and the surrounding communities put crayon to paper and drew their dream playgrounds, which ultimately became a reality. Elements from the children’s drawings were incorporated into the final design for the new community playground and built on May 5, 2012, at the Mainstreet Pavilion. Design Day, held in early March, was also the first meeting of the playground planning committee that worked along with KaBOOM! Project Manager, Danielle Trezek, Foresters liaison, Jessica Heddish, and Community Association Manager/Co-Project Manager, Nadine Rivers-Johnson, for the next eight weeks to plan and prepare for the construction of the new playground.

The new playground will provide more than 1,800 children and their families in the Stone Mountain community with a safe place to play. Playgrounds provide an opportunity for families to spend quality time together and get to know other families in their community. Currently, the children living in the housing community did not have adequate playground equipment to serve the area.
