Time and again we hear from residents that it’s the spirit of community and close friendships that surprised them the most. But we’re not surprised at all—Vista del Monte is a place full of interesting people. And it’s where new friends become old friends in no time. How does it happen? With opportunities to socialize and have fun: gatherings, activities, and resident-led clubs and groups. Hikes, chess, and cards.
