Fire Ridge Estates was established in 2003 and comprises approximately 320 single family custom homes. This neighborhood is located within the bounds of 192nd and 204th streets, between Pacific and Dodge. Fire Ridge’s proximity to Dodge Street make it an accessible neighborhood, only about thirty minute from Omaha’s Downtown area. Part of the Elkhorn School District, Fire Ridge Elementary School is within walking distance of the neighborhood. Residents enjoy a neighborhood community club house, equipped with a fitness center, pool and tennis courts. Access is granted through a key card. Fire Ridge also offers an abundance of space for walking, biking, and relaxing.
We have a Facebook group, created in 2011 by several residents as a means to allow us to converse, ask questions and help one another. It is a self-governed private group open to those who physically reside in Fire Ridge. We ask that if you move out of the neighborhood, please remove yourself from the group. We also ask that if you have a new neighbor move in, you invite them to our group.
We also have a presence on Nextdoor.
Our property manager is Signature Property Management. Most questions and issues should be communicated directly to the property managers, including issues with the pool. (See Contact page.)
The property managers DO NOT have access to the Facebook or Nextdoor groups and therefore will not see or respond to messages posted there.
The Board of Directors also do not monitor these groups closely.

Fire Ridge is governed by a Board of Directors comprised of fellow Fire Ridge Residents. Elections are held each December and ballots are sent to each lot owner via USPS.
The HOA Board wants residents to know that the Board does not police the neighborhood looking for Covenant violations. Instead, the Board takes a diplomatic, reactive approach. We encourage residents to first get to know your neighbors and talk with them first about a concern. Most concerns can usually be worked out quickly with a friendly conversation. If a complaint is sent to Signature Property Management, it is passed along to the Board. As a team, we decide what to do.
The Fire Ridge Estates Homeowner’s Association (HOA) consists of volunteers who live in the neighborhood, charged with administering the rules and upholding the subdivision’s Covenants, among other tasks:
Work with the property management company to approve financial expenditures
Oversee and give approval to property owner improvement projects, such as landscaping or underground pools
Direct a response to reported Covenant violations
Answer general property owner questions about Covenants
Spearhead neighborhood events and approve financing
Communicate with neighbors
The HOA highly recommends the first step a resident should take to address a concern would be with neighborly compassion, kindness and consideration. Please, treat others the way you would like to be treated. When issues escalate and assistance is required, Signature Property Management and the HOA Board are happy to help to the best of their ability.
If a resident is unable to resolve an issue with a neighbor themselves pertaining to a Covenant violation, they are welcome to issue a formal complaint with either the HOA or Signature Property Management. After an issue is brought to the HOA’s attention, the team discusses and implements the best form of action. Most of the time, issues are resolved with a letter to the homeowner and an offer of neighborly assistance. On occasion, when circumstances remain unresolved, the Board meets to discuss the cost of litigation and whether to pursue property liens based on the impact the infraction(s) have on the neighborhood.
