Our Community
The Board of Directors of The Villages at Sleepy Hollow Homeowner’s Association, Inc. (HOA) welcomes you to the community’s website. The information contained on the website is meant for both those seeking general information about The Villages at Sleepy Hollow as well as providing community residents with access to community specific information.
The Villages at Sleepy Hollow is situated on the west side of the City of Salisbury, Maryland, which has an estimated population of 26,000 residents. The city was incorporated in 1854 and is the largest city on the Eastern Shore of Maryland. Situated in the heart of the mid-Atlantic region both Wicomico County , which is considered the “Crossroads of Delmarva”, and the City of Salisbury are convenient to shopping and the area’s beaches and Chesapeake Bay recreation destinations. The second largest port and the second largest airport in the State are located in Wicomico County.
The 70.8 acres that make up The Villages at Sleepy Hollow community was purchased by the developers in August 2001. The ground breaking for construction of 193 residential units made up of both single family and duplex homes occurred in October 2003. The classic book, The Legend of Sleepy Hollow, was used as a source for both the name of the community and the names of the streets within the community. A clock tower circle serves as the focal point for this thriving residential community, a portion of which is designated as a 55+ adult living area. Being located within the city limits means the community enjoys access to both city utilities and services in addition to those services provided by the HOA.

Suspicious Activity – Updated 11-October, 2018
A
resident on Tappan Lane has reported to the police that someone has been
ringing the doorbell late at night, but when the resident goes to the door no
one is there. Just a note of caution and
to advise you to report similar activities to the Salisbury Police Department
(SPD) at 410-548-3165.
When you call to report suspicious activity, you aid not only the Police
Department, but you make your neighborhood a safer place in which to live and
work. A suspicious activity is an occurrence that is out of place in your
neighborhood.
UPDATE: The SPD will be on patrol in
the area. They suggest that you do not answer the door if you are not expecting
someone and that you immediately notify the police.
Follow these steps
when reporting a crime to the police:
·
Remain calm
·
Call 9-1-1
·
Identify yourself (name, address, and phone) and give your
location
·
Describe what is happening or what you saw happen
·
If there is a suspect or vehicle, be able to provide the police
dispatcher with a detailed description and the direction of travel
·
Be patient
