DMC Neighborhoods Emergency Readiness - Landscaping - Defensible Space - Community Managed by GM Tea Yengst, with support from DMC residents, Mimi Robinson, Barbara Edler, and Dave Fuller. Del Mesa is like a little city on a hill. Like other cities, it has a main street, a downtown, and neighborhoods. Just as a city is governed by a mayor and a city manager, Del Mesa has a Board of Presidents, Board of Directors, and a General Manager. And Del Mesa residents, a skilled staff of managers and workers, and committee volunteers interact as a collaborative community. Studies show that being actively involved in a community improves health, happiness, and longevity. A neighborhood should essentially be a friendly, comfortable, informal, relaxed place where you can get information and even support for all sorts of reasons. Having neighbors is a form of safety. Del Mesa's Neighborhood Program was established in January 2025 to increase resident safety, knowledge, and sense of community. The program is based on Del Mesa's historical neighborhood communities, and includes 12 neighborhoods, each with resident leaders guiding the effort for their neighborhood. The program is managed by GM Tea Yengst, with support from DMC residents Mini Robinson, Barbara Edler, and Dave Fuller. Background When Del Mesa was built in the late 1960s, the developers and architect Hideo Sasaki were awarded prizes for the design of the site. They cleverly situated the homes so most of them have access to views. Homes were built in a series of loops upward and downward from the mesa where the Clubhouse, pool, and bowling green stand. The design ends with a dramatic rise to the top of another flat mesa. Ultimately, it is the topography, as well as the wind corridors, sun exposure, and microclimates of Del Mesa that define our neighborhoods. The GM and Buildings & Grounds Committee decided to revive the idea of neighborhoods wth the intent of providing a network that helps build and support community knowledge, safety, and engagement, and enhances communication and collaboration across groups. Through the neighborhood leaders, information is shared about Emergency Readiness and Response, Defensible Space, Landscaping Beautification, and Board and Del Mesa priorities. Resident input and suggestions are secured and shared with Management and the Board to help inform decision-making. Neighborhood residents gather at social events, and new residents are welcomed by their respective neighborhood leaders. This diagram illustrates the Program's network. Our 12 Neighborhoods Our 12 neighborhoods each average 24 homes, with Quail Hollow (#151-162) being the smallest with 12 homes, and Pacific Heights II (#28-57) and Old Oaks I (#185-212) being the largest, each with 30 homes. The neighborhoods with the lower numbers start along the southern end of the property and proceed up the hill to the Highlands neighborhood, with the highest numbers. This map depicts the location and unit numbers of all the neighborhoods. Pick one up at the Clubhouse. DOWNLOAD Our Neighborhood Leaders Our neighborhood leaders are key points of contact for important community updates, especially regarding emergency readiness, defensible spaces planning, and Board priorities and projects. They also act as a voice for your questions and suggestions, bringing them to the monthly leader meetings so that clear and relevant information is shared. Additionally, they can suggest helpful resources and tips to ensure you feel prepared in an emergency. They reach out to their neighbors through phone calls, texts, door-to-door visits, or small gatherings. They aim to foster a sense of community and engaging their community. Stay Connected & Informed In addition to participating in your neighborhood, stay informed about the latest Del Mesa events and going on by: Reading the monthly newsletter Joining Monthly Community Forums Checking updates on the community bulletin board and event posters Reviewing the weekly update emails on Fridays Visiting the Del Mesa Resident website Attending Board Meetings (in person or via Zoom) BACK TO TOP
