Copyright 2010 - Association of La Buena Vida Estates, Inc.
La Buena Vida Estates (LBVE) contains a little over three miles of streets and roadways. Maintenance and repair is the total responsibility of the homeowners. This is carried out through the Association's Board of Directors. LBVE's streets are below Pima County's standards and were deliberately designed and built that way by the original developer in the early 1960s. Over 85% of the annual assessment to homeowners is spent on maintaining the streets and the entrance at Craycroft Rd. and Camino del Celador.
One of the first questions asked by new property owners in LBVE is, "Why can't we get the county to take over the roads?" There are two reasons this won't happen. First, our roads are too narrow to meet the county standard and widening them to meet that standard would cost in the millions. Second, the county requires subdivisions where it maintains roads to have two entrances/exits. LBVE has only the one entrance/exit to the west on Craycroft Road.
