El Mirador Neighborhood Organization
The El Mirador Neighborhood is a quiet and varied area of approximately 160 houses located in the tract east of Desert Regional Medical Center. Our major boundaries, Tachevah, Avenida Caballeros and Via Miraleste, while somewhat busy are still totally residential and distinguish the area from surrounding neighborhoods. Having Ruth Hardy Park and The Wellness Park on our southern border and the hospital on our western border helps define the area and provides large greenbelts and separation from major traffic.
There are few children in the area and most residents tend not to get involved with civic affairs unless they are directly affected. Many houses are second homes (about 30%) and all are one story houses ranging in price from approximately $450,000 to almost $2,000,000. While some streets do not have curbs, many do and some even have sidewalks. The consensus is that we like the individual streets the way they are and do not want to change their varied nature.
The El Mirador organization was formed approximately 8 years ago in response to an issue with two short term vacation rental houses that created a significant disturbance to our peace and relaxed atmosphere. We have corrected the issue and, as a result of our efforts and others efforts the city is proposing a city-wide ordinance to better monitor and control short term rentals.
Two years ago we sought to improve the appearance in areas of our neighborhood that were not as attractive as other very appealing streets such as El Mirador and Mel. Our solution was to plant more street trees that would create the desired arbor effect. While we have had some success in planting about a dozen trees along Chia Road, we have a significant way to go.
The Organization is committed to maintaining and increasing our property values, retaining the relaxed and quiet atmosphere, reducing crime (utilizing our own version of neighborhood watch), improving communication and enabling all residents to be good neighbors.
The El Mirador Neighborhood Organization was instrumental in forming the city wide Office of Neighborhood Involvement and in fact became the first association (originally named Bel Desierto) to be certified by the umbrella organization. There are now 15 Neighborhoods in the group and more joining every month. We have direct lines of open communication with city officials and are sanctioned by city ordinance.
Our goal is to meet monthly from October to June. Our annual meeting, including elections, is in November and our suggested dues/donation is $24 annually. Participation by owners and long term renters is encouraged and needed to assist with our goals and the tasks required by the city.
Upcoming Meeting Dates & Times:
Board meeting (open to all, however): Noon Saturday, 15, March at 930 E. Chia Rd., General Meeting: “second Sunday in November at noon” according to our by-laws.
Success Stories:
Several progressive parties with one neighbor hosting a different course of a meal: appetizer, main course, dessert. We’ve been able to communicate with neighbors almost immediately about break-ins, etc. Our association is small but the percentage of active members is growing yearly... as are our boundaries.

Vista Las Palmas Neighborhood Organization
Upcoming Meeting Dates & Times:
Annual Meeting Sunday, November 2006 2:00 P.M.
Success Stories:
At our 1st Annual Meeting last November the main complaint seemed to have been “the traffic”. There was an insufficient amount of “speed signs and STOP signs”. We took the necessary steps to satisfy the City of Palm Springs supplying names, addresses and telephone numbers of concerned residents. With the dramatic change in our neighborhood residents, children of all ages, cyclists, joggers, walkers and pets we felt a need to make Vista Las Palmas safe for everybody. We were successful in making Camino Sur & Via Monte Vista a 4 way STOP, had speed signs posted on Via Monte Vista and a “watch sign” posted at Mountain View & Via Monte Vista.
Due to the rise in crime in our area we spoke with our residents regarding a Security Patrol. On October 1st Bower Security Patrol Services was hired and we began a 24/7 Patrol Service. There are three eight hour shifts round the clock, we have a dedicated Patrol Car and other benefits. We are a safer neighborhood than we were a year ago.
We are meeting with our “social committee” to plan a couple of meet and greet events so that everyone that wants to meet and get to know their neighbors has the opportunity.
