About Moon Valley
Neighborhood Association

Moon Valley is one of the most unique and well-established communities in North Phoenix. The Moon Valley Neighborhood Association (MVNA) exists to support that community — not to govern it.

We Are Not an HOA

The MVNA is not a Homeowners Association (HOA). We do not enforce CC&Rs, charge mandatory dues, issue violations, or regulate how residents use their property.

Instead, we are a volunteer-driven neighborhood association formed to strengthen community involvement, improve neighborhood safety, and preserve the quality of life that makes Moon Valley special.

While the name “Homeowners Association” appeared in earlier decades (in the 1960s and 1970s), today’s MVNA operates very differently from a traditional HOA.

So What’s the Difference?

A Typical HOA

Enforces CC&Rs
Issues fines and violations
Has mandatory fees
Regulates external home appearance
Maintains private amenities (gates, pools, greenbelts)
Has legal authority to compel compliance
Patrol staff will contact Phoenix Police immediately if your home shows any signs of criminal activity

MVNA (Neighborhood Association)

Has no mandatory dues
Works collaboratively with neighbors

A Brief History of the MVNA

Moon Valley’s early subdivisions were established in the 1960s. An early homeowners group formed during those years, but it went through several changes and periods of inactivity before the neighborhood formalized today’s modern, volunteer-run MVNA.

The modern Moon Valley Neighborhood Association was officially incorporated in 1994, replacing the old HOA model with a voluntary, community-focused nonprofit organization.

Today, the MVNA supports 29 subdivisions within Moon Valley, many of which still maintain their original CC&Rs — some enforced by separate HOAs, others simply recorded historically.

The MVNA does not enforce any CC&Rs. Instead, we help educate residents, answer questions, and guide neighbors to the appropriate resources when needed.

Our Commitment

Moon Valley is known for its character, its families, its traditions, and its strong sense of community. The MVNA exists to preserve all of that — not through rules or mandates, but through service, communication, and neighbor-to-neighbor connection.

Whether you’re a longtime resident or brand-new to the neighborhood, we invite you to get involved, stay informed, and be part of what keeps Moon Valley one of the most desirable places to live in North Phoenix.
