GREENBOR is not simply private homes with plots, but a modern residential-community model inspired by European urban-planning standards and American Homeowner Associations (HOAs) in their most comfortable, adapted format.
The main purpose of this concept is to protect the capitalisation of your property, preserve the unified aesthetics of the space and maintain predictable, safe conditions for every resident. Here a conscious community of people is formed who use shared infrastructure, jointly finance its maintenance and adhere to transparent rules of good neighbourliness.
Before purchasing real estate it is important to evaluate not only the area of the house or the size of the plot, but also the philosophy of the community itself. We consciously state these principles openly: GREENBOR is ideal for those who value order, cosiness and respect for privacy, but may not be suitable for buyers who are looking for absolute autonomy without any obligations to the surrounding environment.

This page contains a clear public statement of the main principles of ОК «Грінбор». It explains the overall concept and does not replace the registered Statute, agreements, decisions of the General Meeting or approved internal regulations.
1. Why GREENBOR needs common rules
Each of the 20 households has its own house, a separate land plot with a cadastral number and a private backyard. At the same time, through membership in the service cooperative ОК «Грінбор» residents receive the right to use the integrated engineering and architectural complex and an equal vote in questions of its governance. The cooperative is the legal owner and balance-sheet holder of the shared infrastructure, which includes:
- the internal asphalt road, sidewalks and walkways;
- the entrance group, automatic gates, pedestrian gates and a modern access-control system;
- internal electrical networks, the ASKOE automated metering system and backup power supply;
- artesian wells, pumping stations and domestic water-supply networks;
- a separate technical-water network for irrigation of plots;
- closed on-site wastewater treatment facilities;
- street lighting and the video-surveillance system;
- an equipped waste-collection area;
- the walking route, gazebo, children’s and sports playgrounds, recreational areas and the shelter.
Clear rules are a tool that helps avoid chaotic decisions, ensures a fair distribution of maintenance costs, protects property and maintains the high class of the community over the years.
2. Buying a house as entry into a modern community
In GREENBOR you buy a specific house with title documents and an allocated land plot. At the same time you become part of a self-governing territory with common services.
ОК «Грінбор» is registered as a non-profit legal entity. The management model provides for:
- registration of membership of household owners in the cooperative;
- joining the Statute and the internal rules of good neighbourliness;
- participation in the financing of shared services (current maintenance of networks, landscaping, cleaning);
- an equal right to vote when key decisions are taken;
- careful attitude to the property of the community and respect for the privacy of neighbours.
All shared infrastructure is the indivisible property of the cooperative. The owners manage it collegially through ОК «Грінбор», which eliminates the risk of blocking, separation or sale of important systems (gates, road or wells) to outside parties.
3. Voting principle: one household — one vote
To ensure democracy and equality, each of the 20 households has exactly one vote at the General Meeting of the cooperative (a total of 20 votes in the community).
If the house is jointly owned by more than one person (for example, a couple), they designate one authorised representative for:
- participation in voting and meetings;
- signing of official documents and transfer of meter readings;
- operational interaction with the board of the cooperative.
4. Architectural aesthetics and open frontal space
As in the best European and American suburbs, the façade environment of GREENBOR is designed to be open, light and barrier-free.
The family’s private life (lounge area, terrace, barbecue) is concentrated on the private backyard. The space in front of the main façades is the common visual asset of the community, which creates a feeling of space, cosiness and security.
The concept categorically prohibits the arbitrary installation in front of the façades of:
- solid or high fences between the entrance doors of neighbouring units;
- arbitrary grids, partitions and enclosures;
- individual barriers or additional gates;
- outbuildings, temporary structures and constructions that spoil the general appearance or block the view.
If it is critical for you to surround your entire home with a high solid fence around the whole perimeter, including the entrance, the GREENBOR format will deliberately not suit you.
5. Limits of private property and respect for the common
The owner is the full master within the boundaries of his or her house and private plot. However, ownership within the GREENBOR community is governed by the principle “one person’s freedom ends where another’s freedom begins.”
Ownership does not allow:
- arbitrarily to seize or clutter part of the road, sidewalk or green areas;
- to block driveways or to block access to utility infrastructure and meters;
- independently to reconnect or modify shared networks, gates and video-surveillance systems;
- to create constant acoustic, vibrational or environmental inconvenience to neighbours.
6. Participation in shared costs and transparent payments
High-quality infrastructure requires constant technical maintenance, service and power supply.
Individual expenses are paid exclusively according to own meters:
- electricity inside the house;
- domestic drinking water;
- technical water for watering the plot;
- wastewater management (calculated strictly according to the volume of domestic water consumed).
Shared (community-wide) costs are divided equally among the 20 households (1/20 per household). They include:
- electricity to operate gates, street lighting, video cameras and pumps;
- service maintenance of wells, automation and filtration systems;
- technical maintenance of the closed on-site wastewater treatment facilities;
- removal of household waste from the common site;
- territory cleaning, road maintenance, snow removal and clearing;
- maintenance of landscaping, the walking route, gazebo and playgrounds.
7. Exclusively residential use of the buildings
GREENBOR is created as a cosy space for families to live and relax. The community is not intended for the placement of commercial objects with a large flow of outside visitors.
It is forbidden to open:
- hostels, mini-hotels or facilities for daily/hourly rental;
- offices with regular customer visits or salon services at home;
- warehouses, workshops, small productions or auto-repair shops;
- any objects that create additional noise, odours or traffic load.
Note: remote computer work (IT, consulting, design, etc.) that does not create noise and does not involve the arrival of outside clients is fully welcome.
8. Silence, safety and traffic rules
- Quiet hours: Residents are obliged to respect their neighbours’ right to rest by avoiding loud music, repair work or noise in the evening and at night.
- Pedestrian priority: The internal community road has pedestrian priority. Traffic speed is limited to a minimum (up to 10–15 km/h). It is forbidden to block driveways, to warm up engines under neighbours’ windows, or to occupy other people’s parking spaces.
- Keeping animals: Walking dogs in the common area is allowed only on a leash and on condition that the owner immediately cleans up after the animal. Systematic barking or howling must be eliminated by the owner.
9. The owner is responsible for guests and contractors
Any persons admitted by the owner to the territory (guests, tenants, builders, couriers, repairmen) must comply with the rules of GREENBOR.
During repairs in the house the owner is obliged to ensure that the contractors do not clutter the road with construction materials, do not damage the asphalt or green spaces, remove construction waste independently and adhere to the schedule of “noisy” works.
10. Ecology, waste and drainage
- Waste: Household waste is placed in bins at a specially equipped outdoor area. It is forbidden to throw construction waste, furniture, branches or leaves there — the owner orders their removal individually. It is strictly forbidden to burn anything on the territory of the community.
- On-site wastewater management: Do not pour construction mortar, paint, chemicals, grease, food scraps, napkins or storm water into the wastewater network. Damages for the repair of treatment facilities caused by violation of the rules are borne by the culprit.
11. Culture of communication and problem-solving
We build an environment of good neighbourliness where issues are resolved through dialogue. Official chats of the community are intended for information, mutual assistance and solving everyday tasks.
Insults, public harassment, aggression or the sharing of confidential data are not allowed in chats or during personal communication. A step-by-step procedure is provided for the settlement of disputed situations: from a personal conversation and appeal to the Chairman of the Cooperative to consideration by the Good Neighbour Committee or the General Meeting.

We are not looking to sell the house at any price. Our goal is to gather 20 like-minded people who will be proud of their home and appreciate the comfort that has been created.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Is it necessary to become a member of the Cooperative and agree to the Statute?
Yes. The purchase of real estate in GREENBOR implies membership in ОК «Грінбор» and acceptance of the internal rules. This creates a documented legal and governance framework for shared rules, responsibilities and infrastructure management.
Can a fence be installed in front of the entrance to the house?
No. Arbitrary installation of fences, gates or partitions on the side of the main façade is prohibited. This violates the concept of open space and makes driving and passage difficult.
Can I opt out of the shared infrastructure to avoid paying fees?
No, because the infrastructure (road, gates, lighting, pumps, on-site wastewater treatment facilities) supports the life of the entire community. All 20 households share equally in its upkeep.
Can the house be rented out?
Long-term rentals for single-family residences are permitted provided the tenants sign and comply with the GREENBOR regulations. Daily rentals, hostels and mini-hotels are strictly prohibited.
Which has greater legal force: this page or the Statute?
This page is introductory and presents the concept. The registered Statute of ОК «Грінбор», the internal regulations and the contracts have legal force.
