We Are
Better Together

Formed in 1983 by neighbors and for neighbors, the WBNA has evolved from a homeowner’s association to the community-centered organization it is today. We are a “people-powered,” neighborhood nonprofit and rely on neighbors to join our Board, join committees, volunteer at events, and financially support our work.

We are a diverse and dynamic community

Being part of a community is more than just knowing your immediate neighbors. It’s about joining together with people to address local needs, building relationships, and partnering to create a thriving and welcoming place for people to live, work, and play.

Invest in your Community

Since 1983, WBNA has been bringing neighbors to the table around important issues, offering resources to the community, spearheading projects that enhance the quality of life in our neighborhood, and creating opportunities for neighbors to gather, support, and learn from one another.

Your donation is an investment in the neighborhood which allows WBNA to continue to do this important work. When we come together as neighbors, we accomplish great things.

UPCOMING Events
