Dear Villa Monterey Unit One Residents:
I have received calls from several residents concerning our recent street resurfacing.
The two most common observations are small, black pebbles loosening from the new surface and noticeable tire marks made when backing out of driveways.
A representative from the City of Scottsdale came to my house today to look at our streets and to explain what’s going on. He told me that both of these phenomena are normal and should disappear as the summer months (and rains) progress. He took some pictures and said he would email more information to me; I will forward this information to you.
In the meantime, be sure to wipe off the soles of your shoes thoroughly before entering your home so your carpets will not be soiled by the black pebbles and be careful to back out SLOWLY from your driveway onto the street.

The Villa Monterey community was developed by David Friedman’s Butler Homes. Construction began in 1961 at the same time another visionary, Harry Lenart, was building Scottsdale Fashion Square. Friedman felt there was a niche for a modified, low rise, East Coast townhouse concept with attached homes. The idea was to appeal to those locals and winter residents not needing a traditional house but something larger than most apartments plus arcadia doors leading to a small patio and garden.
Villa Monterey Unit One was the first townhouse community in Arizona. As success became evident, many builders followed suit.
Even though an original par-3 golf course (with clubhouse, lounge, and restaurant) was in the path of the Indian Bend Wash improvement, the nine well-maintained residential components of Villa Monterey have, since inception, been an integral part of central Scottsdale.
Originally, there were no age restrictions, but Villa Monterey homes have not proven to be suitable for families with young children. As a result, the units have gradually complied with the Federal Fair Housing Act, whereby age restrictions may be instituted so long as 80 percent of the residents are age 55 or older. Today, many residents are in their 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s, and even 90s.
