Toscana of Desert Ridge

The pool area is often poorly controlled. On several visits, I saw groups drinking heavily, acting loud and disruptive, and making the space feel unwelcoming. It didn’t feel safe or respectful, even though the pool should be for all residents. The amenities and their management are disappointing, and the high monthly HOA fees don’t make sense given the current conditions. I’ve looked after my grandfather’s condo here for two years, stopping by regularly to maintain it and check that everything works. I also read the HOA emails sent to owners. From what I’ve experienced and what those emails keep reporting, the community has noticeably declined. There are ongoing safety problems, including theft and repeated incidents reported directly to owners. I’ll attach examples of those emails. For what residents pay, the community should be secure, well maintained, and properly managed, but that isn’t what I see. Between the security concerns, lack of enforcement, worsening atmosphere, and unjustifiably high fees, it’s hard to recommend. Management, rule enforcement, and overall community standards need serious improvement.

I’m concerned that Management and/or the Board don’t seem to care about residents’ security. On 7/21/22, there was a large Police presence on the property, including a Helicopter circling above the PG area for several minutes. Police later detained several juveniles, and their parents picked them up. I posted about it, including pictures, on the Toscana Facebook page, but the post was deleted without any response. The HOA sent no communication at all. What happened on the property that required that kind of Police response? I guess we’ll see when the FOIA is processed. It’s not a good look for the HOA. Aside from that, it’s a great place to live, with a nice Resort setting, great pools, and a well-kept BBQ area. The PG Pool deck needs resurfacing. It’s been in bad shape and is getting worse, so hopefully that gets addressed.

The community lifestyle events are a great way to meet people when you’re new to the area. They’re amazing! Find Rachel in the HOA and she’ll help you 😄

My clients love living at Toscana at Desert Ridge. They like the resort atmosphere and having restaurants and shops at High Street and Desert Ridge Market Place nearby. The community offers one-, two-, and three-bedroom condos with stainless steel appliances, high ceilings, and gorgeous views. There are resort-style amenities, secure underground parking with elevators, a 24-hour guard at the gate, concierge service, several heated pools, a spa with waterfall and fire features, a large clubhouse, a workout center, and more. We love Toscana!
