You can tell by the for sale sign that this place won't be around long. Diapers floating around like turds in a punchbowl If you are trailer trash or swim in the sewer, then this is the place for you. Don't bother paying, just jump the fence and shoot up by the backed up toilets like everyone else. ...read more

Villa de Paz Rec Assoc is permanently closed
VdPRA is permanently closed. VdP-HOA will be dissolved as soon as the property is sold. The property is for sale, because we have a new community park now (Dust Devil Park) and it is no longer needed or supported by the community. There was a restriction requiring this property to be set aside for recreation, and managed by an HOA, but that has not been enforced since 1979, when the original developer set it up as a nonprofit instead of an HOA. Lawyers have determined that this restriction is therefore no longer valid, and that it is different than the one on the golf course. We are in escrow with a developer (Desert West) who is planning to build 12 one story homes similar to those in the area. Villa de Paz United is resisting the sale, and is suggesting various ideas/plans for the property. However, they are having trouble finding ways to fund ongoing maintenance of the property (even if they take out the pool - which is the most expensive item to maintain) let alone acquire the title, which would require paying off the debt that has helped to pay the bills to keep the place going for the last 20 years. ...read more
