Area Overview

This easy to access area off the Highway 38 down the mountain, has a tranquil atmosphere throughout that matches the peaceful retirement community covering the south end. The area is enough away from the valley centers to miss the crowds, but still close enough to have easy access to everything you need.

• Retirement community on the south end
• Close to Highway 38 for trips down the hill
• Tranquil neighborhood for sitting outside or strolling the streets
• Easy access to the 38 down the hill

Natural Surroundings

The trees in this area are mostly pinion pine with scattered Jeffrey pine, so the shorter, sparser trees create an open feel. The flat terrain still has a forested atmosphere before moving toward more desert surroundings further east. The views are more forested to the west and south and open toward the east.

Home Facts

• Mostly small to mid-sized homes
