Description:
As part of Mariposa County, Yosemite West is a subdivision of 294 lots on approximately 90 acres (.36 square km), complete with underground utilities and paved roads. To date there are 195 developed lots, including two condominium buildings with a total of 48 units. It is surrounded on three sides by Yosemite National Park property.
Some homes are owned by permanent residents of the area while others are resort homes, some of which are rented on a daily and weekly basis by visitors to Yosemite National Park. These vacation rentals provide much needed funds for infrastructure repairs.
One of the Yosemite West homes.The land for this community was purchased and developed in the 1960�s by Yosemite Highlands, Inc., a group of business and professional men from the San Jose area. They envisioned a unique Mountain Resort area accessible year round for leisure time recreation. A complete economic feasibility study was made by the Economic Research Association. [6] Six development schemes produced by Victor Gruen Associates[7] of Los Angeles, were analyzed before settling on the one now in effect. From the Pine Arbor group
