The initial development of Barker‘s Landing began in 1972 on 120 acres of land which was formerly a gardening nursery. Plans were for a gated, single entry, private golf course community called La Cour Du Roi (The King‘s Yard). Only a few homes were built before financial difficulties were encountered and, in 1975/76, ownership of the property changed and a new name of BARKER‘S LANDING was given with plans of a single entry, gated community of townhomes and patio homes. Evidently, sometime around this change the lion figurines, which had previously guarded the entrance, were retired.
Barker‘s Landing is comprised of three subdivisions—Barker‘s Landing, Barker Court and Barker‘s Place. Initial construction of these three began in 1977. Each has its own homeowners association and Board of Directors.
Barker‘s Landing presently has 363 homes, Barker Court has 40 homes and Barker‘s Place has 24 homes. All Barker‘s Landing communities‘ maintenance assessments are payable annually by January 31st. These fees are used for 24-hour security patrol, utilities, administrative services and for maintenance of the common areas, swimming pool, tennis courts and irrigation system. Barker Court and Barker‘s Place are separate subdivisions with individual homeowner‘s associations and maintenance fees and share, on a pro-rata basis with BLHOA, the applicable expenses for common areas, security patrol, etc.
Planned Community Management Inc. (PCMI) handles the administrative functions for all three homeowners associations and is located at 15995 N. Barker‘s Landing Road; Ste. 162. PCMI also performs a monthly inspection of the community to determine if there are violations of the Deeds of Restrictions. Mr. Robert Eaton is the PCMI contact for all three homeowners groups. He can be reached through the PCMI general number at 281-870-0585.
Barker‘s Landing Community Club (BLCC)
BLCC is a social club for all Barker‘s Landing residents. You are automatically a member of BLCC; however, a voluntary annual membership fee of $10.00 per family is gratefully received and these fees are put to the benefit of all living here. These proceeds are used to help beautify the common areas of our subdivision with flowers, shrubs, etc. BLCC holds coffees in the homes of residents and sponsor social events throughout the year. A semi-monthly BLCC Bulletin is published which gives neighborhood news and the meeting schedule on its back page. Encouragement to attend the meetings extends to not only the "lady of the house," but also to the "gentlemen." This forum is a wonderfully fun way to enjoy interesting programs, fabulous food and good conviviality in which to meet your neighbors. The meetings are approximately 2 hours in duration.
BLCC compiles a printed Telephone Directory each year through the volunteer efforts of BLCC members. The Directory is delivered to each resident‘s home by BLCC Block Captains. This small Directory contains a wealth of information on committees, who volunteers their services, By-Laws of BLCC, Pool and Tennis Rules and Regulations and a map showing the composition of our three subdivisions.
