Portrait Hill Newsletter
Hello Neighbors! 👋
We’re excited to share the latest updates, reminders, and upcoming events happening in our community.
Here’s what’s going on in Portrait Hill:
Merry Christmas!
Our neighborhood is looking amazing decorated for Christmas, Big Thank you to Dan & Beth Tamminga for putting up all the decorations on the outdoors this year and to the Social Committee for decorating the Clubhouse so amazing for the Christmas season. Keep in mind that the Clubhouse stays decorated for the entire Holiday season, so if you have it rented it will be decorated for you.

In Case You Missed It
Architectural Requests
As a reminder, any exterior modification requires residents to submit an application for approval by the architectural review board. Exceptions include refreshing what is already in place (e.g., replacing mulch with the same color, replacing dead plants/shrubs with the same type, repainting siding with the same color, etc.). Applications should be submitted to architectural@mjsmgt.com.
Lawn Care & Maintenance
Homeowners are responsible for maintaining their lots to prevent unsightly, unhealthy, or unkempt conditions. Lawns should be free of debris, excessive weeds (including flower beds), and mowed frequently.
We understand that lawn maintenance can be time-consuming. If you need help or resources, reach out to maintenance@portraithillsc.com. Community volunteers are available to assist residents in bringing their yards into compliance, and the Board is willing to work with residents to allow reasonable time for upkeep.
