Community Updates
Updates on community improvements, maintenance projects, and financial matters affecting the neighborhood.
SAFETY NOTICE: The Park near 4th St. and Milada is temporarily closed due to failing perimeter walls. Please do not enter the park or cross the caution tape while repairs are being evaluated. This is currently a high-priority safety matter for the board.
The HOA Board has recently completed a community-wide tree trimming and maintenance project to address areas impacted by deferred maintenance and improve overall safety and appearance throughout the neighborhood.
The current total delinquent balance is approximately $111,036, reflecting a more complete accounting of outstanding homeowner balances, including both aged accounts and recent delinquencies.
The Board is actively working to reduce these balances through collections, payment plans, and improved financial oversight.
We appreciate the homeowners who remain current on their dues and continue to support the upkeep and long-term improvement of our community.
April 2026 Update
Parking In Our Community
We understand that many households have multiple vehicles, guests, and day-to-day needs that require street parking.
Good news: Street parking is generally allowed.
What’s OK
-
Overnight parking
-
Guests parking on the street
-
Households with more than two vehicles
-
Normal, day-to-day use of street parking
When the HOA May Step In
We only get involved if there’s an issue, such as:
-
A vehicle has not been moved for an extended period
-
A car appears abandoned or not working
-
Parking blocks a driveway, sidewalk, or creates a safety concern
-
Excessive or repeated issues impacting neighbors
Our Approach
We take a common-sense, case-by-case approach—not strict enforcement.
Our goal is to:
-
Keep the community safe and accessible
-
Avoid unnecessary violations
-
Be fair and reasonable to all residents
City vs HOA
Some parking issues (like abandoned vehicles) are handled by the City of Phoenix, not the HOA.
Please contact the City of Phoenix, for these types of issues.
Questions or Concerns?
If you believe there is a legitimate issue, you may submit a request through the HOA. This is a summary for general guidance. The HOA retains the authority to address specific situations as needed.
Who controls parking on our community streets?
Both the HOA and the City of Phoenix have roles. The streets are public, so the City controls traffic and safety
enforcement. The HOA may enforce certain parking rules that already exist in the CC&Rs.
Can the HOA ticket or tow my car for City parking violations?
No. The HOA cannot enforce City-only violations such as parking near fire hydrants, blocking sidewalks, or
intersections. These matters must be handled by City of Phoenix Parking Enforcement.
What parking rules can the HOA enforce?
The HOA may enforce CC&;R-based restrictions such as limits on RVs, trailers, commercial vehicles, abandoned or
inoperable vehicles, or time restrictions if already contained in the governing documents.
FAQ's
What parking rules can the HOA enforce?
The HOA may enforce CC&R-based restrictions such as limits on RVs, trailers, commercial vehicles, abandoned or
inoperable vehicles, or time restrictions if already contained in the governing documents.
Why does the HOA still have parking authority on public streets?
Because the community’s governing documents were recorded before 2015, the law required a membership vote.
The community approved continued regulation, allowing the HOA to retain limited authority.
Who do I contact about unsafe or illegal parking?
For safety hazards or City code violations, residents should contact the City of Phoenix Parking Enforcement or
Phoenix Police Department. For CC&R violations, contact HOA management.
Can the HOA create new parking rules now?
No. The HOA may only continue enforcing existing parking restrictions and should not adopt new rules affecting
public streets without significant legal risk.

Why We love south mountain living
One of the greatest highlights of our community is our close proximity to South Mountain Park & Preserve—one of the largest municipal parks in the country. Spanning over 16,000 acres of beautiful Sonoran Desert landscape, the park offers miles of scenic trails for hiking, biking, and exploring.
Residents can enjoy breathtaking desert views, native wildlife, and iconic saguaro cacti right in their backyard. Many trails connect across the mountain, making it possible to travel all the way to Ahwatukee while enjoying the natural beauty of the desert.
Whether you’re looking for a peaceful walk, a challenging hike, or simply a place to take in a stunning Arizona sunset, South Mountain Park & Preserve is a truly unique amenity that enhances the quality of life in our neighborhood.
South Mountain Park and Preserve
The Highline Canal is a hidden gem just minutes from our neighborhood, offering a safe and scenic route for walking, running, and biking. With no vehicle traffic, it’s an ideal place to enjoy the outdoors without the stress of busy streets.
From the canal, residents can ride or walk for miles—connecting to Tempe, Laveen, and other parts of the city through Phoenix’s extensive canal system. Whether you’re out for exercise or a leisurely ride, the canal provides a peaceful, convenient way to explore and stay active.
