Foothills Gateway Neighbors is an independent, homeowner-run website focused on helping neighbors understand how shared community resources are managed.

The site summarizes budget information, water usage trends, vendor contracts, and other publicly available records to help homeowners better understand how decisions are made and how community resources are used.

Why This Site Exists

• Transparency: Present financial and operational information in a clear, easy-to-understand format.
• Accountability: Share factual information so residents can understand how community responsibilities outlined in Arizona law and governing documents are carried out.
• Community Stewardship: Encourage cost-effective and sustainable practices such as water conservation, responsible landscaping, and long-term maintenance planning.

What We Do

• Highlight trends and patterns that affect fees, amenities, and long-term maintenance planning.
• Provide guides, charts, and explanations to help neighbors understand community documents, homeowner rights, and how shared responsibilities are structured.
• Offer practical ideas—such as water conservation, xeriscaping, or leak detection—that may help reduce long-term costs.

How This Site Operates

• Independent platform: This website is privately funded and operated by Leann McNaughton as a homeowner and community member.

• Not an official association site: Although Leann currently serves on the Foothills Gateway Board, this website is not an official association website and is not maintained, endorsed, or controlled by the association, the board as a whole, or the management company.

• Independent perspective: Content reflects Leann’s own summaries, commentary, observations, and opinions unless otherwise stated, and should not be understood as official board communication or association action.

• Good-faith sourcing: Information is drawn from documents obtained through lawful homeowner access, public sources, correspondence, and observations considered accurate at the time of posting.
