Why our Landscaping is important

Bookmark and Share


About 46% of our residents live on or within view of a waterfall, stream or pond.

Our owners didn't buy here because of the ambience of our 1978 units. Yes, many have been updated and there are a lot of benefits to owning a condo in a HOA such as ours. However, it's the landscaping that really makes the difference.

Here is a brief video I made at dusk on May 3 from my deck. I didn't enhance it at all. The sounds of the wildlife is exactly what I hear, although the volume might be a bit higher. My video camera has auto audio, so it sometimes emphasizes what one would hear.

I've sent this to the entire board of the HOA.  I think we all know why people live here.
