Its position beside The Madison Club places it among South La Quinta's golf communities, while its own identity is built around private homes, courtyards and outdoor living.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSee how this community fits into the surrounding area in \u003ca href=\"\/pages\/south-la-quinta-communities\"\u003ethe South La Quinta visual guide and map\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eA compact neighborhood with a clear boundary\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eContento Street, Palazzo, Ameno and Jalisco form part of the internal street network.

Floor plans, guest accommodations, garage arrangements and later renovations vary by property.
