Our Community

Villa Grande and the adjacent Terraces community celebrate a unique history, and despite its charm and beautiful rainforest environment, it has also had an identity problem over the years, and has suffered nature’s wrath, encountering and surviving years of floods, fires, and mudslides. Working with the greater lower Russian River community, Villa Grande has built resiliency and collaborates with other local organizations to enhance the quality of life for all our residents.

One of the objectives of the Friends of Villa Grande is to strengthen a sense of community for residents and continue the traditions of the town. One example is continuing and expanding upon the unique community tradition of celebrating the Fourth of July in the Town Square with much fanfare.
