Covenants were developed over the years to establish standards of appearance and activity within McLean Hamlet. No single covenant is applicable for the entire Hamlet community. Some home sections are subjected to guidelines that are not applicable in other sections.

To determine which McLean Hamlet section you live in, review your settlement papers.

Sections 1, 2, and 3
Most homes are in sections 1, 2, and 3. These were the first homes built.

Section 4
This section includes Falstaff Road from where it intersects Lewinsville near Route 495 to 7807 and 7808 Falstaff Road, inclusive. Homes on Romeo Court, Desdemona Court, Falstaff Court, and five houses on Timon Drive are also in Section 4.

Section 5
This section includes Snow Meadow Road and Lear Road. Snow-Lear has both covenants and by-laws. The covenants for Section 5 are very similar to other McLean Hamlet covenants. The By-Laws require annual dues in order to own, administer, and pay insurance on Common Land. This land is between the Snow-Lear section and the Beltway.
