In Moon Valley everyone knows their neighbors, people are invested in their community and support small businesses. We have 2 annual community garage sales, community luminaries for Christmas as well as a contest for holiday decor. Monthly food truck nights at Moon Valley Park. Moon Valley is very unique in that every home is different and there are no streetlights- it's a bit like living in the best part of the 1950's
