With nearly 1,000 residents, The Tropics has numerous clubs and activities for almost any interest. Information about these activities is found in The Breeze, the lively park magazine, or in the Tropics Wind, the amazing unofficial park web site maintained by the Computer Club.

Amenities include a 19,000 square foot clubhouse/recreation building, pool, spa, sauna, ceramics room, library, card room, billiards, greenbelts, car wash, RV parking, etc.

We at Millennium support our residents’ activities in any way we can, whether by buying a new kiln for the ceramics club, completing the necessary improvements to the clubhouse to permit large-scale bingo, or devoting a portion of the park income to the Tropics Resident Club for its own functions.

A fun recent tradition is the party thrown by the Residents’ Club to celebrate “Tropics New Year,” the anniversary of our purchase. The Union City Fire Department does the cooking, we contribute the prizes and everyone has a good time.

In August, 2000 it was our privilege to acquire The Tropics through an innovative arrangement with Union City. The Union City Redevelopment Agency made a grant of $2,500,000 and allowed us to sell low interest tax-exempt bonds. In return, we brought the Millennium program to the Tropics, as follows:

• The Tropics will remain an over-55 community.
  
  
• We will follow Union City’s rent control ordinance, even if rent control is repealed by a later City Council or Court. This is rent control that can’t be taken away!
  
  
• We established a rental assistance program for lower income residents.
  
  
• Millennium and park management meet regularly with the Residents’ Club Board to determine park policies, set budget priorities and capital improvement needs.
  
  
• Funds are set aside each year for long-term capital replacements, so that the park can be well maintained without passing the costs to the homeowners.
  
  
• All funds remaining after paying the bills and Millennium’s asset management fee remain in the park for homeowner activities; rental assistance; additional improvements and other items suggested in consultation with the Residents Club.
  
  
• Our management staff is trained to be problem solvers, with support from Millennium to address our homeowner’s needs.

We are proud that many homeowners have told us of the peace of mind they feel ever since we bought the park.
