Arrowhead Lakes – Waterfront Estates

Arrowhead Lakes is where I grew up. It’s where I call home (and have since age 9), and I couldn’t be happier that my parents still live here.
The neighborhood has definitely quieted down since my childhood days – a time when kids roamed the streets and claimed the ends of culdisacs in numbers on their bikes or rollerblades, both after school and on the weekends. Now however, you won’t see much of that. Today the neighborhood is predominantly made up of an older crowd. In fact I don’t think I’ve seen anyone younger than the high school age in the area for some time now, and my parents recently mentioned that they couldn’t remember the last time they had a trick-​or-​treater. So if you’re looking to start and/​or raise a young family, this probably isn’t the ideal neighborhood for you. If you’re looking for a quieter more grown scene however, then look no further!
As far as the West side of the greater metro Phoenix area goes, the Arrowhead Lakes Estates are by far the best place to call home and everyone knows it. The development offers both lake view properties as well as golf course properties with gorgeous views of the nearby mountains and of course, the lake itself. My experience living here has been on the water, and I wouldn’t have it any other way! Who wants to pick up golf balls from your netted yard everyday anyway? The only a downfall to a golf course property. Almost every lake front property has a boat dock to fish off of and accompanying boats to boast which makes sunsets and sunrises all the more beautiful. At Christmas time there is even a light parade open to all who have a boat to participate in. Such a great way to kick off the holiday season! The lake winds around the development – essentially connecting all properties, and even has beautiful waterfalls aligning its path at various stops for your viewing pleasure.
All in all, this is a gorgeous place to live, or in my case, get to come home to when I need a break from life.
