About Our Neighborhood
The Vistas is a subdivision established in 1994 and comprised of 97 homes in a very desirable area of North Phoenix. Located just off the 101 and 51 freeways, not only is the community just three miles from the Desert Ridge Marketplace, which was voted The Best Place to Shop in the North Phoenix Magazines 2021 Best of North Phoenix contest, it is also located minutes away from City North, JW Marriot at Desert Ridge, and the world-renowned Mayo Clinic Hospital.
​
The community offers a variety of homes ranging in style and size. Many working professionals love the location due to its ease of being near the freeways. Located within the highly ranked Paradise Valley Unified School District, the Vistas is also a great community for families.

Who is the HOA?
The Vistas HOA board is a group of residents that make up a board of directors elected to enforce and oversee the HOA's rules and regulations -- the Declaration of Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions (CC&Rs). CC&Rs set certain conditions for owners about the maintenance of their properties. These conditions include structural guidelines — the type of fences or landscape allowed — or more minor aesthetic choices, such as the color of paint on a house. The CC&R document also outlines the penalties for violating the guidelines set forth in the CC&R. In partnership with AMCOR Property Professionals, the HOA collects quarterly fees to pay for common area maintenance and the upkeep of the community. The HOA board is tasked with managing the budget and decision-making with the input of the community at large.
Our mission is to enhance and preserve the quality of life and sense of community through effective and efficient management of the Association, enforcement of rules and covenants to preserve and enhance property values, invest in capital improvements that benefit the greater good of the community and support initiatives in a fair, ethical and objective approach in representing the interest of homeowners.

Board of Directors
The Board of Directors makes all the decisions for the Association as outlined in the Bylaws and CC&Rs for your Community. The Powers and Duties of the Board may include:
