High Desert Residential Owners Association Website

Each of the twenty-four Villages that comprise the High Desert community is unique. One of the goals of the High Desert Residential Owners Association is to foster a greater sense of Village identity and spirit, and good communication plays an essential role in meeting that goal.

This page provides a means for Voting Members and Association Management to post news, announcements, and reminders for events and activities taking place in individual Villages.

Voting Members may submit items for publication to Rebecca Murphy at eenews@comcast.net.
Residents who have questions or suggestions for improved communication are encouraged to contact their respective Voting Member(s).

High Desert Voting Members:
High Desert Voting Members and Alternates are elected by their villages during regularly scheduled elections. Voting Members meet four times each year to conduct business.

Below are the names, telephone numbers and e-mail addresses (if available) of the High Desert Voting Members listed by Village.
