SaddleBrooke at a Glance - SaddleBrooke Two Property Owners

SaddleBrooke* is a Robson Active Adult Resort Community, located just 22 miles north of central Tucson, Arizona.
Key attractions for this 55+ community include the spectacular views of the 9,000-foot high Santa Catalina
mountain range to the south and east, the sunshine and clear skies of the Sonoran desert, and the many
amenities and activities offered within the community and in nearby Tucson. SaddleBrooke offers a sunny yearround climate. Fall, winter and spring are generally mild, and although the temperature rises in the summer,

summer and winter create a surprisingly lush natural landscape, where a variety of desert plants thrive.

SaddleBrooke Governance
For those who are unfamiliar with homeowners' associations (HOA's), they operate somewhat like a town council.
The board or some portion of it is elected by the community. Committees comprised of resident volunteers
advise the board on major issues, and professional employees manage the day to day operations.
The governance of SaddleBrooke is split geographically between two homeowners' associations. SaddleBrooke
HOA 1 is now independent of the Developer, and is governed by a seven member Board of Directors, all of whom
are elected by residents. SaddleBrooke HOA2, which includes the rest of SaddleBrooke and the Preserve at
SaddleBrooke, is still under development and consequently is governed by a five-member Board of Directors, of
whom four currently are resident Board members (two elected by the residents and two appointed by the
Developer) and one is an employee of the Developer.
The HOAs are responsible for ensuring that the SaddleBrooke lifestyle continues to flourish. Specifically, the
HOAs maintain their respective common facilities and amenities, ensure the ongoing financial health of the
community, plan and operate events, schedule facilities use, and maintain security patrols. They also ensure that
the governing “Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions”, “Rules and Regulations”, and the “Architectural and
Landscaping Requirements” and “Guidelines” are followed.
Housing
Prospective new residents have many options within the community for upscale housing. For those who want a
new home, a number of lots in SaddleBrooke and in the Preserve at SaddleBrooke are still available through the
developer, Robson Resort Communities. Additionally, there is typically a good selection of pre-existing homes
with a range of floor plans and prices that are available through local realtors. Ask your realtor about building a
new home or finding the perfect pre-existing home. For those seeking a smaller residence or a winter home, the
duplexed Villas found in both HOAs may be just the ticket.
Security
Even in a quiet community, security is an issue. Since SaddleBrooke has all private roads, our rules are enforced
by our private staff patrol. The patrol’s responsibility includes enforcement of our HOA traffic rules within the
community, providing security within the community, and providing home checks for residents when they are
away on vacations. Pinal County is responsible for law enforcement.
Private Roads
Private Roads provide access to all of the community amenities and are accessible via either automobile or golf
cart. The Community takes pride in our roads and they are well maintained.
Financial Stability
Both HOAs have instituted a Reserve fund which stabilizes the dues from year to year and allows for forward
planning of capital expenditures.
In order to keep the community fresh and competitive, scheduled renovations are done to minimize surprises on
expenditures and also to assure that the community always looks new.
Roads are also included in the preplanning and are maintained since the appearance of the roads has a major
impact on the appearance of your home and the value of your property.
Two HOAs
SaddleBrooke is one community with two HOAs. The two Home Owners associations were separated in 1994,
and have slightly different rules and governance. However any resident of either HOA has access to all facilities of
either area. The total community is currently about 4,700 homes and will grow to about 5,200 homes at build out
providing the critical mass to offer many amenities for your retirement.
Both HOAs are divided into units. The Units of each are shown below.
Units of HOA1
SaddleBrooke HOA1 was the first HOA in SaddleBrooke and was started in 1986. This community is fully built out
and is now independent of the developer. HOA1 owns its own golf courses. There are 2,059 homes in HOA1.
Units of HOA2
HOA2 was separated from HOA1 in about 1994. Building is still continuing in this HOA, so the Developer is still
involved in its governance. The golf courses in HOA2 are owned by the Developer. HOA2 currently has over 2,700
homes and at build out will have just over 3,200 homes.
In both HOAs, unit social groups contribute to the social life of SaddleBrooke and provide a great way to get
acquainted. The groups host holiday parties and many group activities.
