Did you know that Grandmont’s original homeowner’s association was formed in 1927. We were also once called the Grandmont Improvement Association. Today, we welcome all neighbors who reside within our boundaries (originally Asbury Park west side only from Grand River to Lyndon, now all of Asbury Park West to Southfield Service Drive, between Grand River & Schoolcraft.) For 2025 – Please support our goals and resolve this year to pay your dues ($30/year) – you get so much for so little and everyone benefits from our volunteer work.
Grandmont borrowed this from the Grandmont #1 Community Association (our neighbors to the west of Southfield) and published it in the December 1977 issue of The Grandmonitor. (We substituted Grandmont in place of Grandmont #1). “At its inception in the 1930’s, the residents of that Association expressed their faith and dedication to their new community in the form of a Creed. This framed document can still be found in many of the homes in Grandmont #1.”
I think this Creed is timeless and expresses the pride of our own “Home of Good Neighbors” in Grandmont. What do you think? Are there any changes or updates to make this better or more relevant in our new century? Let us know your thoughts.
CREED
TOGETHER…the families of Grandmont have created a good place to live in…a place that preserves the pleasures of living in a small town though it is a part of a large city.
These pleasures emanate from the pride of ownership that comes from maintaining the good appearance of their homes as well as maintaining desirable living conditions.
Through their efforts civic improvements, social activities and other projects have been accomplished to conserve the joy and increase the pride of the community.
As a resident of Grandmont this is my heritage!
THEREFORE…in appreciation for the work that has been done to establish this highly desirable neighborhood and to prove ourselves worthy of the friendship of our neighbors, I pledge my family to…
- treat our neighbors as we would like to be treated
- maintain our home in good condition and appearance
- keep the streets and lawns clear of litter
- counsel our children in good neighborly behavior
- respect our neighbor’s rights to quiet after dark
- control our pets
- drive safely and sanely
- put rubbish collections on curb after dark
- be law-abiding
- promote the continuing friendship of people who are part of the community
- cooperate wholeheartedly with the aims and efforts of the Grandmont Community Association and to attend its meetings whenever possible.he continuing friendship of people who are part of the community
