Neighborhood Assoc iat ions
NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATIONS
and block watches exist today to help
Canyon Corridor residents build an
exceptional community where residents want to live.
Unlike homeowner associations, neighborhood
associations and block watches are voluntary
organizations of residents who work together to
improve and maintain the quality of life in their
neighborhood.
How do YOU get involved?
• Find a neighborhood association in your
area to get involved – Contact your council
district office or Cactus Park Precinct.
• Start a block watch on your street or in
your apartment community – Contact the
block watch coordinator at 602-495-0597 to
get started.
Won’t you consider joining us? Below is
a list of some neighborhood associations
in the Canyon Corridor.
