THE SAN GABRIEL VALLEY'S ONLY NEW MASTER-PLANNED COMMUNITY

Built on the former Monrovia Nursery site in the northern Azusa foothills.

Rosedale spans 517 acres and was designed for up to 1,250 homes across eight neighborhoods. As of 2026, nearly all homes are built and occupied, with only a small number of final lots remaining.

It offers newer construction, mountain and city-light views, and easy access to the 210 Freeway, Azusa Pacific University, Citrus College, and shopping.

Rosedale: The Real Talk

Here’s what actually matters when you’re thinking about buying or selling here.

The Big Picture

Rosedale is a master-planned community in northern Azusa (zip 91702). It was developed on the old Monrovia Nursery site and emphasizes parks, open space, and resort-style amenities for residents.

Amenities & Lifestyle

The Resort (Community Hub)

Clubhouse, Jr. Olympic pool, spa, fitness center, BBQ areas, fire pits, and gathering spaces.

Parks & Recreation

Multiple neighborhood parks, playgrounds, trails, and the new Rosedale Great Park with soccer fields and open space.

The Two HOAs (Explained Simply)

Most homes in Rosedale have two homeowners associations. This is common in large master-planned communities.

Master HOA (RMHA)

Covers the entire community. Manages The Resort, major parks, trails, entryways, and overall standards.

Sub-Neighborhood / Village HOA

Specific to your street or tract. Handles localized landscaping, smaller parks, and neighborhood rules.

Think of it like this: The Master HOA runs the big resort and overall rules. Your sub-HOA handles your specific block or neighborhood.

Important Costs When Buying or Selling

Mello-Roos (CFD 2005-1) Special Taxes

This is an additional tax on top of your regular property taxes. It helped fund the roads, parks, and infrastructure when the community was built.

For Buyers: Expect $4,000–$7,000+ per year initially for Special Tax A (infrastructure), plus ~$423–$571/year for Special Tax B (maintenance). Amounts vary by home size and zone.
For Sellers: You must disclose this and pay any delinquent amounts before closing. Buyers will receive a formal “Notice of Special Tax.”
0.5% Transfer Contribution (Canyon City Foundation)

This is a recorded covenant on Rosedale properties. When you sell, the seller pays 0.5% of the gross sale price to the Canyon City Foundation (which funds community programs in Azusa).

Important: This fee is the seller’s responsibility. It should be handled at closing, but if missed, the Foundation can bill the seller later. We always make sure this is properly addressed.
