It may be difficult to believe, but Phoenix has some great waterfront homes.  Phoenix waterfront property could be viewed as an oxymoron, which is defined as the joining of incongruous or contradictory terms. It really seems unnatural, lakes in the desert?  Admittedly, they are man made, but they bring a uniqueness, beauty and serenity to waterfront homeowners throughout the valley.  Phoenix waterfront homes are scattered throughout the valley; in Chandler, Gilbert, Avondale, Phoenix, Scottsdale, Tempe, Maricopa, Mesa, and Glendale and vary in size with as few as 20 waterfront homes in a subdivision to over 300! Visit this site regularly and community names such as The Islands, Val Vista Lakes, Santan Lakeside Estates, Ventana Lakes, Pinelake Estates, Arrowhead Lakes, Estates at Ocotillo, Island at Scottsdale Ranch and Crystal Gardens will become familiar names as you become acquainted with this unnatural phenomenon  in the desert!

Nearly all of the lakes allow electric motor boats and prohibit internal combustion motor boats.   However, there are a few select lakes that were designed specifically for waterski boats, but we’ll save that for future discussion.  All lake subdivisions have a monthly HOA fee which can range from $40 – $550 per month depending on the size of the lake and the number of homes in the subdivision.
