La Luz Landowners Association.

The La Luz community was the first major project of architect, Antoine Predock. La Luz, developed by Ovenwest Corporation and opened in 1969, was hailed as a "courageous attempt to show how land can be improved by development, housing can be clustered without being cramped, and architecture and planning can support conservation." The community consists of "96 [adobe] homes clustered on some 42 acres of developed land at the edge of a 500-acre parcel of wide open spaces. Each dwelling has complete privacy, protected outdoor space, and connections to communal patios and placitas ..." The La Luz Landowners Association was incorporated on February 10, 1969. The Association holds title to common areas and facilities, administers the common areas for the benefit of the residents, and is charged with implementing La Luz's Declaration of Planned Residential Community.
