Planning a home project? We’re excited for you!

Step 1:

Congrats on saving for the big project!

Before you get started, take a quick moment to review these steps. They help ensure your project fits smoothly within our neighborhood’s design guidelines and permitting process.

Submit your project here

Step 2:

Submit your project plans for review

This form lets the Architecture Committee celebrate your project with you and make sure everything aligns with our Protective Covenants.

What to include:

  • A brief description of your project

  • Photos, sketches, or plans

  • Materials or colors you’re considering

  • Confirmation of whether a Town of Fuquay‑Varina permit is required

Submitting early helps us review quickly so you can get started.

Step 3:

Receive Your Decision

You’ll receive an email with one of the following:

  • Approval — you’re all set to begin!

  • Suggestions — small adjustments to help meet guidelines

  • Denial — rare, but we’ll explain why and help you find a path forward

Our goal is always to support your project, not stop it.

Why Architecture Reviews Matter

Exterior projects can affect drainage, property lines, safety, and neighborhood consistency — and the bylaws require all owners to follow the ARC review process before making changes. When a project is undertaken without approval, the Board may take corrective action, including suspending voting rights for up to 120 days for violations of Association rules (Article III, Section 2). Following the process protects your home, your neighbors, and ensures fair, accurate voting for community decisions.

  • All properties in Prescott have individual well water units. As the homeowner, you are responsible for your property’s water system. Many homeowners have a whole-home water filtration system with Kinetico Advanced Water Systems of SENC.

    Please review the Department of Public Health guidelines for testing and managing your family’s water.

    Wake County offers a well water testing program for owners and renters whose drinking water comes from a private well. Find more information here.

  • Prescott Downs homes use private well and septic systems. Homeowners are responsible for all maintenance. Septic tanks should be pumped every 3–5 years, depending on household size. Avoid flushing wipes, grease, or chemicals, and keep heavy vehicles, sheds, and deep‑rooted plants off the drain field. Watch for slow drains, odors, or wet spots in the yard — these may indicate a needed service call. Local providers include Piedmont Septic, Eastern Septic, and Precision Septic.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • The HOA exists to care for our shared community assets (two ponds, the PGW berm, and the entrances), manage neighborhood resources responsibly, support property values through consistency and stewardship, and help residents stay informed and connected. Even without many amenities, the HOA plays a vital role in maintaining the neighborhood's appearance, stability, and long‑term well-being.

  • Prescott Downs owns and maintains the two ponds, the PGW berm, the entrances, landscaping contracts, stormwater compliance, insurance, and vendor partnerships. These shared assets require ongoing care to keep the neighborhood safe, visually appealing, and environmentally compliant.

    We also triage resident maintenance tickets for issues that require coordination with outside agencies (streetlights, road hazards, debris), ensuring requests are submitted and followed through.

  • New development can bring both challenges and benefits. While the HOA does not control external development, we help residents stay informed and, when appropriate, advocate through direct channels. Development may:

    • increase nearby home values through new infrastructure and services

    • bring more traffic and activity to surrounding roads

    • shift the neighborhood from rural to suburban living

    • create new commercial conveniences

    • increase demand for consistent community standards

    The HOA’s role is to provide clarity, communicate updates, and help preserve the character and stability of Prescott Downs during this transition. The median home value in Prescott as of March 2026 is $625,000. With the mixed developments and being less than 12 minutes from the new Children’s Hospital, the HOA is aware of the home value increases and taking appropriate action to maintain the common areas and bring residents services that are expected with this home range.

  • No. Prescott Downs is located in unincorporated Wake County, not within the city limits of Fuquay-Varina. This means all public services—law enforcement, road maintenance, zoning, animal control, and development decisions—are handled at the county level, not by the Town of Fuquay‑Varina.

    Homes apart of Prescott Downs do not pay city taxes, only Wake taxes. This is why homes here have septic systems instead of sewer connections, well water instead of city water and propane tanks to be services instead of natural gas lines. This also means we have open market waste management and resident responsibility for yard debris management instead of city pickup days.

    The Board has heard from several residents about the desire to annex within the city, which would provide Prescott Downs with those city services. However, this requires city budget and planning years in advance as well as resident voting. If you are interested in annexation please email hello@prescottdown.org to let us know.

  • The Board prioritizes projects based on resident feedback and immediate neighborhood needs. As we plan for 2027 and beyond, we’re focusing on small‑cost, high‑impact updates that support safety, walkability, beautification, and community connection. Longer‑term ideas will be explored with our financial services, management company PPM, and residents will continue to be included as planning progresses.

    Top Projects Raised 2026:

    1. To change management companies for better support and service. Completed.

    2. To update and improve the entrances. Completed.

    3. To request road safety controls due to speeding and future traffic. In Progress - NCDOT has approved this request with a 60% resident vote

    4. To inspect the ponds for repairs and clearing, as well as regular maintenance of the water and perimeter.

      a) In Progress - Inspection report completed; repairs and clearing of overgrowth are pending funds to move forward in 2027.

      b) Completed - Monthly pond maintenance has been contracted within the 2026 budget. Due to construction along the berm, the board reduced the landscaping budget for 2026, freeing up funds for pond maintenance.

  • Please send all neighborhood questions or concerns to hello@prescottdowns.org. Reaching out to this shared inbox helps the Board log and track requests, but more importantly, it ensures you never have to carry a neighborhood issue alone. We’re here to support you, connect you with the right resources, and make sure every concern is handled with care.
