Homeowners owners are subject to restrictions not applicable to single-family dwellings or townhome owners. These rules and regulations are outlined in the Boardwalk Homeowners Declaration, which governs the use, occupancy, administration, and maintenance of all Units in Boardwalk of Elk Grove Homeowners for the mutual use, benefit, and enjoyment of all residents in regard to common area, pool, clubhouse and parking.

There are 144 Unit Owners in Boardwalk of Elk Grove Homeowners, each with different opinions and lifestyles living in close proximity to each other. In order to preserve harmony and maintain order, there must be a blend between the individual's rights and the needs of the complex. Therefore, the specific rules and regulations set out are required to govern the actions and behaviors of everyone who lives and visits here.

There is also a Master Association for the pool.
