Eden Isles Homeowners Association
Mission
Statement
The Eden Isles Homeowners Association (EIHOA) is a support
and advocacy organization working towards the betterment of our island paradise. The
association was formed in
1974 to provide homeowners a means to address issues affecting their quality of
life and property values.
Although the EIHOA
is concerned with enforcement of subdivision covenants; the EIHOA is a separate
entity and does not enforce covenants. However, it does work closely with
the Architectural control committee, the Sheriff’s Department and St. Tammany
Parish Code Enforcement to resolve issues that concern our members.
The
EIHOA has established itself as an organization dedicated to providing services
that the parish does not. As a result of our proactive approach to
solving community problems the EIHOA has provided the following solutions:
- Cutting and maintaining our
park grounds.
- Provides security cameras
at each entrance in lieu of the expense & aggravation of having the
streets gated.
- Purchasing and installing
high quality, prestigious street signs to enhance the status and property
values within our island paradise.
- Conducted laboratory
testing of our drinking water to ensure water quality and safety.
- Conducted laboratory
testing of our waterways to ensure swimming and fishing safety.

council to pass an ordinance prohibiting aircraft from landing on our
waterways.

council to pass a zoning change to designate Unit 4 as a single family
residential community.
