Website under construction
We recently started a new paint schedule and as like everything else the price has up. We are now being charged $150 for the additions (shed). Prices that we have charged for sheds has not increased since before 2014 but unfortunately, we are no longer able to subsidize the painting. Beginning July 1, 2022, we will be charging $150 for our vendor to paint your shed. All sheds will be painted when the unit is painted unless you notify us beforehand that you will be painting this yourself. All painting must be completed within 30 days of your unit being painted. If you are seasonal and choose to paint your shed, this must be completed within 30 days of your arrival. Please check with the office to see if your unit scheduled to be painted.

Common Area Plants
We unfortunately did not receive much rain this year and our landscaping is looking a little parched. I am asking the residents to please water plants around your area if you have the ability. Lou has been taking care of the cactus gardens and many of the circles. She really could use the help if you are available.
Four Corners - "The Common"
The central desert walking area at the intersection of Camino Penasco & Paseo Quinta is now nicknamed the Four Corners. On your next walk you might want to take a look at some of the changes being made. Plans are to transplant cactus from our campus and repurpose them while making a comfortable place for Villas residents to read, exchange books, relax and to linger.
Lou Kifer - Grounds Chair
We would like to recognize and thank the residents who showed up to help with moving the dirt, rocks and with transplanting duties: Mary Grgich, Owen Ayres, Colleen Hayes, Tom Bowes, and Ken Forness, and Lou Kifer. Volunteers are always welcome. You can get more information from the office.
