It is the villas of De La Mesa. We rented there once and even though they are older, they are quite nice. The central pool and park-like setting are for those villas only and IMHO are worth the additional $45 per month. We were told that they were originally used for Lifestyle visits and later sold to buyers. At first we wanted to buy there but none were available at the time we had to find something. I did notice that there are a lot of more seasoned and settled residents so you might want to consider that when looking around. Also the prices on the villas that back up to the pool seemed quite high. A 2 BR that needed quite a bit of upgrading was on the market for $215 last year. I think it sold for $208. I was told by the realtor that if you back up to the pool you are limited in improvements you can make in the rear. This unit had an enclosed Florida room and no porch and he said we could not add a lanai. Great location!
