This could be an amazing community as it is built at the foothills of the Catalina Mountains. Beautiful wild (almost seem domesticated based on the residents feeding them) animals roam the beautiful golf courses. The Catalina mountains are just striking and full of hiking trails. Unfortunately, I could NEVER recommend moving to the Preserve. The HOA2 board runs Mountain View/Preserve like a concentration camp. There are so many rules to follow and tons more people trying to trying to bully you one way or another. Perhaps it is COVID-19 that is causing some people to feel so entitled they have to complain about people no matter where you are here: golfing, pickleball, tennis, and clubs..... Some neighbors will complain about what is in your back yard or that your home blocked their view when being built, and so on. These people should look at themselves and be a much better version of themselves before complaining about others. The HOA2 board and/or/ the ALC will write notices and fines to some neighbors for a rule buried on page 300 of paragraph 4, section g, while they allow very bad unkept yards which bring down the value of our property. I would definitely recommend HOA1 as the golf course is run professionally, has GREAT pro's, and you are always greated with a smile. When you are lucky enough to retire, be happy, live free, laugh uncontrollbly, be kind, and be the best person you can be. read more
