The name Santaluz, meaning "Sacred Light," is inspired from the environs bestowed with the same quality of light which inspired the Plein Air impressionists in the early 20th century.  Santaluz is a place, which could well be the last of certain quality in coastal North County San Diego.  A place, which borrows from timeless principles, yet embraces contemporary ideas.  A place, which strives to honor its valued neighbors, and still revel in its own identity.  A place, where all elements compliment each other to create a seamless relationship with the land.  And a place, with room to breathe.

Santaluz is comprised of three entities, the Santaluz Maintenance Association (SMA), the Santaluz Community Council (SCC), and The Santaluz Club.  All working together to help make Santaluz a unique Southern California Community.

The SMA is responsible for the upkeeping and maintenance of common areas--parks (i.e. Village Green), tot lots, streets, walks and trails, lighting, brush management zones, mailboxes, gatehouses, and the extensive irrigated landscaping of Santaluz.  Additionally, the SMA acts as the regulatory arm of the Governing Bodies of this community; therefore they enforce the Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions and other supporting documents created to insure property owners maintain their own properties according to established standards and follow community rules and guidelines.

The SCC is the community based organization that funds and organizes the Village Green events, the intranet--www.santaluzliving.com, and the bimonthy community newsletter--Santaluz Life.  The SCC is also the umbrella for all of our resident driven Community Clubs and the true heart of the community.

The Santaluz Club is a private equity club which owns and operates the Hacienda facility, Golf Course, and the Clubhouse and Spa facility. The SMA and SCC staff (Community Office) are housed at the Hacienda in facilities leased by the Club.
