Construction of Esperanza Estates was begun by Earl Whigham in 1976 and completed in 1986.

The architecture of homes in EE is distinctive, with a definite Spanish influence -- including the names chosen for the streets thoroughout.  Approximately 21 acres of common space were reserved for the use and enjoyment of all EE residents.  Our recreational facilities -- swimming pool & hot tub, tennis courts (recently also used for pickleball), and a number of parks -- were all a part of Earl Whigham's original design.

In the years since development was completed, portions of the common space have been further developed to provide walking trails, a number of gardens, and the 'Sunset Ramada' -- a popular spot for get-togethers of residents.
