Star has been turning farm ground into neighborhoods at a pace nowhere else in the valley matches, and spring is when both halves of that transition show up on your windows at once. Active build sites throw concrete and drywall dust while the ground still being farmed next door throws field dust.
Field dust is abrasive mineral grit and must never be wiped off dry, or it scratches. Construction dust is alkaline and sets slightly when wet, so rinsing smears it into a haze. A Star property on the boundary between a build phase and working ground gets both, and neither responds to a garden hose.
A newly completed Star house very often still carries mortar specks, stucco splatter, adhesive and label residue from construction. That is a different job from routine cleaning and it should be handled before a summer bakes it on, and not attacked with a blade by someone who has not checked whether the glass is tempered.
New subdivisions come with new irrigation, installed to a plan and never yet observed through a full season. Spring start-up is the moment to walk every zone and see where the heads actually throw, because that ten minutes determines how much hard water damage the glass takes by August.
Newly planted landscaping means gutters fill slowly, so the interval can genuinely be longer than in older parts of the valley. It does not mean never. Construction debris and wind-blown grit still collect, and a first-winter roof can shed more material than owners expect.

It is alkaline and sets slightly when wet, so hosing it smears it into a haze rather than removing it.
Often yes. New glass frequently carries mortar, stucco splatter and adhesive residue that routine cleaning does not address.
Less often than in mature neighborhoods, but not never. Construction debris and wind-blown grit still collect.
At spring start-up, before it has run a full season unobserved. It is the cheapest hard water prevention available.
Windows start at $199 by pane count, screens are $50 more, and gutters start at $199.
