Welcome!
BV-WNA has existed for 40 years, and advocates for you, the residents of our community. Bentley Village-Waterchase is proud to be a diverse, thriving neighborhood where people take pride in their homes, and we want to work with you to keep our area safe, beautiful, and strong.
​
Who we are​
​
BV-WNA is comprised of residents in the Bentley Village-Waterchase neighborhood and has existed since 1980. Residents support the BVWNA through annual dues paid at the beginning of each fiscal year (October 1 through September 30) and by participating in volunteer and/or neighborhood activities.
​
Why we are
​
1) to preserve & improve the physical, economic, and social health of our neighborhood
2) to enhance the quality of life and property values of our neighborhood
3) to be a collective, active voice to City Government
4) to discuss common neighborhood concerns and address the issues of our neighborhood
5) to communicate & socialize with your neighbors
​
What We Do
