House Numbers—House numbers are a typical aspect of a home’s exterior and serve several important purposes. To be clear, our Association rules do not require that you display your address. It can however, be of great benefit even in our gated community where many of us have the same numeric address yet have a different street name. Here are some examples:
Emergency Services—We frequently see emergency vehicles wending their way through Niguel Shores in response to a call for help. Displaying a visible house number will help responders locate your home quickly in a situation where every second counts!
Delivery Services—Postal workers, FedEx, UPS, and the (all-important Amazon) delivery drivers rely on a visible house number for accurate distribution of packages and parcels. It’s not uncommon to receive a neighbor’s mail or find their package on your doorstep.
Guests and Visitors—Most people use GPS to navigate to an unfamiliar location. Even after passing through the manned gate with your accurate name and address, it’s fairly common for a visitor or service provider to get lost in Niguel Shores. How many times have you had a first- time visitor try to access the community from the Selva or Cabrillo gates? That’s just the start of their frustration. Having your house number displayed will make it much easier for them to locate you once they are able to enter through the Mariner Gate.
Aesthetics—House numbers can also add to the visual appeal of your home. There are many different and creative ways to display your house number. You may wish to integrate it in a way that complements the architectural style of your residence. It may serve as a stylish and useful addition to your home’s exterior.
