La Esplana has a waiting list for good reason. Million dollar mountain preserve views from our back windows. Quiet complex of adults, the manager is on-site, never heard a loud party. Mature trees and views make us think we are in a resort in Sedona, as long as you don't mind the freeway traffic. Hiking Squaw Peak right out the back door. It's a great quiet place to live in the middle of the city despite the occasional creepy-crawly visiting from the desert. That's what the cats are for.
