Vista Park Villas, October 2026
Dues from 2026 MLS listings. VA status from the VA Condo Report, October 20, 2026. Drive time without traffic.
Vista Park Villas was built in 1974 along Madera Lane, with a pool and greenbelts. It isn't gated. Recent listings show an attached garage, one or two cars depending on the plan, plus one open space.
Listings show two-bedroom plans from 972 to 1,000 square feet and a three-bedroom at 1,144 square feet, with laundry inside the unit.
Dues ran $490 to $540 a month on 2026 listings, covering water, sewer, trash, building insurance and exterior maintenance, including the roof and termite work. Ask for the current budget and reserve study during escrow.
Vista Park Villas is on the VA Condo Report as Vista Park Villas (ID 007537), listed at East Vista Way and Arcadia Avenue, Accepted Without Conditions, with the review completed August 12, 2002. The record shows cross streets, not Madera Lane, so I have your lender match it to the unit before you write an offer.
With full entitlement there's no down payment and no monthly mortgage insurance. HOA dues count in the payment your lender qualifies you on, so I run the numbers with the dues included before you write an offer.

As first-time homebuyers, he made the VA process look seamless and explained everything to us in great detail. He was working with us from the beginning when we were still overseas in Japan. Being a dual-active military family, I would 100% recommend him. He truly supports and understands the military community and lifestyle, a veteran himself.
