Why Dockline Exists

Dear Neighbors,

When I first settled into The Coves, I loved the sense of place here — the river, the trees, and the community we share. But I noticed there wasn’t a central spot for neighbors to exchange ideas, share updates, or simply stay connected outside of board meetings and official notices.

Dockline was created to fill that gap. It’s not an official HOA site — it’s a resident-driven project designed to make neighborhood life a little more open and a little more connected.

Here you can:

  • Share news that matters to us as neighbors

  • Ask questions and find answers from our community knowledge base

  • Learn from each other’s experience, whether about landscaping, boating, or local services

  • Stay connected without relying on scattered emails or private social media groups

Dockline is about conversation, clarity, and connection. It’s a place where we can learn from one another and keep building the friendly, transparent spirit that makes The Coves such a special place to live.

Thank you for being part of it — this works best when it’s shaped by many voices, not just mine.

Warmly,
Jason Foster
Founder, DockLine

Mission Statement

DockLine is a resident-created community hub for The Coves at Wilton Creek.

Built by neighbors, for neighbors, DockLine is an independent space where residents can connect, share, and stay informed. Unlike official HOA notices or scattered social media groups, DockLine brings everything together in one place — from searchable governing documents and community news to a resident directory, helpful forms, and open discussion forums.

At its core, DockLine is about clarity and connection. It exists to make neighborhood life easier to navigate and more transparent, while giving every resident a friendly space to contribute their voice. Whether you’re looking up landscaping standards, checking the latest meeting notes, or simply seeing what’s new in the community, DockLine is here to keep information accessible and conversations neighborly.

I also see DockLine as a prototype — a first step toward what our neighborhood communication should be. This is the kind of site the HOA could and should have provided for members: a clear, central, and welcoming resource. Until that happens, we are doing it ourselves as neighbors, showing what’s possible when the community takes the lead.

DockLine isn’t about running the neighborhood — it’s about strengthening it. By providing clear resources and an open platform for dialogue, DockLine helps us all see the bigger picture, share what matters, and build a more connected Coves together.
