Lake Christopher Homes Association

Welcome!

The Lake Christopher community surrounds beautiful Lake Christopher in the Centerville District of Virginia Beach, Virginia. We are near the intersection of Indian River Road and Kempsville Road, about 1 mile from I-64 and Regent University. There are 361 homes and four private parks in the Lake Christopher community, surrounding our 60 acre private lake. Public schools serving Lake Christopher are Tallwood High School, Brandon Middle School, and Indian Lakes Elementary School.

The Lake Christopher Homes Association (LCHA) consists of every person who owns a lot in Lake Christopher. This association of homeowners, which is a corporation, has existed since 1974. There is a nine member Board of Directors which serves the association, and this nine member board is comprised of four officers; President, Vice President, Secretary, and Treasurer; and five members-at-large.

IT IS AGAINST THE LAW

It shall be unlawful for any person as defined in § 1-230 of the Code of Virginia to place, distribute, or allow the placement of food, minerals, carrion, trash, or similar substances when it attracts any species of wildlife in such numbers or circumstances to cause property damage, endanger any person or wildlife, or create a public health concern. Upon notification by department personnel, any such person shall be in violation of this section if the placing, distribution, or presence of such food, minerals, carrion, trash, or similar substances continues.

The Legacy Archive - Blasts from the Past!

We’ve scanned and uploaded what we found so far from the 1980’s and 1990’s. Click on the Legacy Newsletter (main menu) to navigate to the archives. We hope you'll enjoy perusing these issues, going back to May 1981!

Although the May/June 1981 edition of the LCHA Newsletter is oldest in our archive, we have reason to believe there were newsletters published before then, and still others that would fill gaps in our records. We’re hoping copies of these old issues survived, perhaps in a box in someone's attic, or in the back of a closet!

If you are one of the many original or 'first years' owners living in the community, you may have an old newsletter or two in a folder with documents from the early days. Even if you’re a newer member of the community, one of those boxes of papers may have been left behind by a previous owner for you to discover! If you find anything, please contact the editor! We’d love to scan whatever you have.
