Other things to note
The unit is secured with Ring Home Security System. We only activate the alarm when the unit is vacant. You will see sensors on all windows and doors. We do have a Ring Doorbell camera and two security cameras outside in the front yard that are motion activated and only record if something triggers the motion sensor.

Street Parking Only. Please do not keep valuables in your car. Management is NOT responsible for damage or theft of vehicles or its contents.

Per City ordinance we must keep volume levels low and have a noise monitoring device in the home. This device reads the noise level in decibel format. To be clear the noise monitoring does NOT record any conversations.

Due to strict city ordinance, we strictly enforce the NO parties or gathering policy. The ordinance also states that: "No outdoor music, radios, musical instruments or other devices that produce or reproduce sound shall be allowed to be used outdoors at any time." Please be considerate of our neighbors.

This is indeed the desert. Dust and critters are part of the package. The place will be professionally cleaned prior to your arrival and we have routine pest control. We don’t have too many critter invaders, but as it gets warmer, we start seeing more activity. No one is ever comfortable with bugs, but water bugs, crickets, gnats, and other insects are part of this habitat. Be mindful of your surroundings when walking outside, especially in the warmer months.
