The heart of DC Ranch is its neighborhoods. Wood/Patel's engineering helped achieve the development team's goal of high community interaction, where neighbors can meet and children can safely plan in the parks. Streets meander to slow and quiet traffic and allow most homes to border the natural desert.

Today, Wood/Patel prepares the improvement plans for virtually every subdivision parcel built on DC Ranch's 8,200 acres. The firm handles parcel drainage design, infrastructure improvements, and construction staking. Each parcel within DC Ranch has received a personal touch ensuring it continues the community's tradition of living integrated with the desert.
