The best Phoenix waterfront property search on the internet

gordonbaker@remax.net — Sat, 20 Aug 2011 20:40:23 +0000

Not all Phoenix Waterfront Search Tools are created equal

Whenever you are able to search for homes, land or properties on a realtor website, it is done through an IDX (Internet Data Exchange). They all use the MLS listing as the source data. However, they are not all presented or displayed in the same format. Each has its pros and cons. After reviewing many IDX systems, the search tool below is the best one I’ve seen. The reasons and basic search procedures are listed below. Whether you’re looking for a waterfront home in Chandler or Gilbert, or a starter home in Mesa, this IDX property search will save you time and frustration.

One of the main reasons why this search tool is so useful is it will filter out the short sale listings that are under contract. I frequently get calls from buyers that will ask if a specific property is available. Unfortunately, the response is frequently “no”. Then I hear, “Well on Realtor.com (or some other site) it shows as available!” It is common practice to change a listing from Active to AWC (Active with Contingency) or Pending when a short sale offer is accepted. Many websites do not differentiate between Active and AWC, so the property still appears as Active when it’s not. Using the above search for active status listings will reflect properties that are indeed available.

Let’s get started on your waterfront home search

The search has already been set for waterfront lots in Maricopa and Pinal counties. If you decide later on that you also want to expand your search to non-waterfront properties, just click on the box or”Property Description” and it will open up a menu of other types of properties, such as golf course lots, lots that border a common area, etc. and you can modify your search.

One of my favorite parts – Get rid of the AWC listings!

This part will save you countless hours of frustration. Below the preset waterfront lot and Maricopa/Pinal county criteria there are various other criteria that can be used to refine your search. Two of most important criteria are towards the bottom. The third criteria from the bottom is “Status”. This has been preset to Active which eliminates the AWC and Pending listings. It is important this remains set as Active, unless you like to see other listings that are under contract. If you’d like to eliminate shorts sale or only see lender owned foreclosure, go the “Special Listing Cond” line. By clicking on the words, it will expand and you have even more control over the search of specific types of properties, such as short sales, lender owned, age restriced (retirement), pre-foreclosure, and previously approved short sales. If you want to eliminate any specific type of sale, click on the “or” after the box and it will change to “not” thus filtering out that type of property listing. One quick question; can you do all of this with Zillow, Trulia, or Realtor.com?

Now that you’ve become acquainted with some of the more powerfull features of this IDX search in a somewhat confined space, here’s the opportunity to see it in full screen. Click on Advanced Waterfront Search to take advantage of the full width of your screen with this search tool.

Wait – There are more search tools to help you.

Once you pull up the full screen waterfront search , you’ll have a wider view of the map portion of the search tool. At the bottom of the screen you’ll see a tool bar like the one to the right. A handy tool is the one in the middle that looks like a turtle?, but if you put your mouse over it it says “measure”. It’s great for measuring distances. Simply right click on the icon then place the crosshair over the beginning point and left click. Then move the crosshair to the point you want to measure and left click again and it will show the distance between the two points. You can continue adding and measuring segments and it will give you a cumulative distance in addition to the distance of each segment.

Another useful search tool on the bar are the three to the far right. They are useful in defining the search area. Let’s say you know the area you want but it includes parts of two cities but not the entire city boundary. Or you want to search within a certain radius of your work. The far right tool allows you to draw the area by left clicking the boundaries of the geographic search area. To utilize the map tools you must be in the full screen display of the search.

As you can see, this IDX search tool allows you to create the most refined and detailed search possible so that you can better identify potential properties. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to call me at 480-326-8571. As always if you’d like me to do the search , click on Send me waterfront property.

Phoenix area lake communities with a community pool

gordonbaker@remax.net — Mon, 04 Apr 2011 03:18:29 +0000

Waterfront communities with a community pool

Let’s face it, it can be nearly an impossible task to live in Arizona and not grave the relief that a private pool in your backyard can offer. When it’s 110 degrees outside, you will be convinced it is a must-have. Even when your Phoenix home is a second or vacation home used mainly during the winter months, pools are an attractive addition to any backyard. But there may be reasons why you should forgo that luxury and let your community HOA manage that responsibility.

Residential lake communities that offer community pools

It is surprising to many there are not more single family communities in the Phoenix valley with community pools. They are typically found in larger master planned communities where the cost can be spread out over hundreds of homes. Given that Phoenix area lake communities or subdivisions are somewhat rare, when you look for those with a community pool, the list narrows down significantly. Some of the more well known single family residential lake communities with a community pool are Val Vista Lakes in Gilbert, The Springs in Chandler, Power Ranch, Pecos Ranch, Province in Maricopa, Ventana Lakes in Peoria, Sun Lakes, and Desert Harbor . It is almost a given that townhouse and condo developments will have a community pool. Lake communities that fall into that category include Cantabria Shores in Ocotillo, Crescent Falls in Fulton Ranch,Gainey Ranch in Scottsdale, Las Palomas at McCormick Ranch, Bridgeview at Hayden Lakeside, among others.

If you plan on making this a second home to be enjoyed as an escape from mid-western snow storms or blankets of Canadian snow, then you’ll probably be here when most outdoor pools are rarely used. In that case, a private backyard pool can be an expensive backyard landscaping fixture. And most unheated community pools receive a break from the crowds during the off-season. If you’re looking for year round aquatic enjoyment, your best bet finding it will be in a townhouse or condo community with a heated pool. Make sure that during the inspection period you confirm if the community pool is heated and the months of the year it is open.

Forgoing the luxury of a 400 sq.ft. private backyard pool for a community pool may be a trade-off that suits a part time resident or even a full time owner occupant that does want the headache of caring for a body of water that will eventually only see occassional use. Many 55+ communities also feature indoor heated pools and spas.

CantaMia in Estrella Mountain Ranch – Adult Lake Community

gordonbaker@remax.net — Sat, 14 Aug 2010 19:04:21 +0000

Goodyear Active Adult Waterfront and Lake Community in Estrella Mountain

My search this week for waterfront and lake communities in the Phoenix area landed me at CantaMia by Joseph Carl Homes in Estrella Mountain Ranch in Goodyear. This active adult retirement lake community features 17 acres of lakes in phase I and 23 acres in phase 2 & 3. Total homesites at buildout will be just under 1,800.

CantaMia residents also have access to the impressive Starpointe Residents Club.

An emphasis on utilizing solar enery

CantaMia emphasizes energy conservation including solar energy panels on each new home. Joseph Carl Homes at CantaMia utilitze the Echo solar enery system. An important feature of the Echo solar energy system is in addition to the energy generated from solar panels, waste heat from the solar panels is captured and used to provide hot water and space heating. Each CantaMia home includes an Echo Solar System, a 80 – 120 gallon water heater, and LP Techshield radiant barrier.

The CantaMia active adult development was originally an Engle Homes project very similar to Province in Maricopa. As a result of the Engle Homes bankruptcy, Joseph Carl Homes purchased the land and continuing the basic format started by Engle Homes.

Gated Waterfront Communities in Phoenix

gordonbaker@remax.net — Wed, 07 Jul 2010 02:21:49 +0000

Gated Lake Subdivisions and Waterfront Property

When looking for Phoenix area waterfront homes, your dream home could be hiding behind one of the gated lake communities featuring waterfront homes. These unique gated subdivisions are spread throughout the valley in cities and towns such as Chandler, Mesa, Maricopa, Scottsdale, Tempe and Gilbert among others.

Chandler Gated Waterfront Property

The Ocotillo master planned community features many gated subdivisions. Gated condominium developments include Cantabria Shores located right next to the Ocotillo Golf Resort. The Bridges at Ocotillo, a 234 unit development offers 2 car garages and 9 foot ceilings.

Single family homes within Ocotillo include The Peninsula, Watermark, Ocotillo East, Embarcadero at Ocotillo, The Vistas at Ocotillo, and Balboa Point.

Fulton Ranch offers 2 condominium subdivisions within the newest Chandler lake community; Serenity Shores and Crescent Falls. Fulton Ranch Townhouses & Condos for Sale Another Chandler single family home community is Lagos Vistoso, built between 2003 and 2005. An exclusive 20 home gated luxury waterfront community in Chandler is Wellington Estates.

Chandler Gated Waterfront Property

For those that wish to build their own custom luxury waterfront home, The Island at Fulton Ranch may be for you.

Gilbert Gated Waterfront Communities

Some of the most expensive and luxurious waterfront homes in the southeast valley are found within the water ski lake communities of Crystal Point and Santan Lakeside Estates with their own 13 acre tournament ski lakes. Another water ski and wake board lake subdivision in Gilbert is Playa del Rey Estates.

Crystal Point Estates Homes for Sale

Other gated Gilbert lake communities are found in Val Vista Lakes, one of the valley’s most amenity rich developments.

West Lake Estates in Val Vista Lakes features some of the most luxurious waterfront homes in the community.

Gilbert Gated Waterfront Homes

Tempe Gated Waterfront Property

When you mention luxury gated Tempe waterfront property, your attention turns to Tempe Town Lake and the luxury condo developments that create an urban luxury living setting. Two of the most impressive developments are Edgewater and Bridgeview.

Tempe Waterfront Condos for Sale

Mesa Gated Waterfront Homes

Mesa gated lake communities are not as numerous as its east valley neighbors. Lake Park condos are near Dobson Ranch and set in along the fairways of the highly rated Dobson Park Municipal Golf Course. For active adults with an interest in a lake community in Mesa, check into Leisure World.

One of my favorite gated condo lake communities is Superstition Lakes Condos. A quiet community surrounded by a golf course and man made lakes. It enjoys great access to the US60, shopping and dining. This is a perfect development for anyone looking for a vacation home during the winter months.

City of Maricopa Gated Retirement Community

One of the most impressive active adult retirement lake communities in the Phoenix area is Province in Maricopa. Complete with a gated entry and impressive community center, this development was voted the best active adult community in 2006. Here’s a link to waterfront homes in Maricopa.

Scottsdale Gated Luxury Waterfront Homes

The majority of the Scottsdale gated waterfront properties are found in Scottsdale Ranch. This 1,100 acre development features homes built by Geoffry H. Edmunds, Costain Arizona, Scholz Design Builders, Dix Custom Homes, Golden Heritage, Trammel Crow, LaBlonde Development, Felker and others. Specifically, the gated communities are Las Brisas, Monterey Point, Mountainview Lake Estates, Scottsdale Bay Club, The Island at Scottsdale Ranch and Landings at Scottsdale Ranch.

Scottsdale Urban living can be found at Scottsdale Waterfront Residences. Another popular Scottsdale lake community is Gainey Ranch.

Gated waterfront communities are throughout the Phoenix valley and I have only highlighted a couple of the cities and communities that feature these unique subdivisions.

Ventana Lakes – Active Adult Waterfront Homes Community in Peoria and Sun City

gordonbaker@remax.net — Wed, 27 Jan 2010 07:30:19 +0000

Ventana Lakes Community Spans Two Cities and Two Zip Codes

Ventana Lakes lake community is the only community that I know of in the Phoenix valley that is part of two cities, Peoria and Sun City, and covered by two zip codes, 85373 and 85382. Those residents that live west of 107 Ave. are in Sun City 85373, while the Ventana Lakes residents on the east of 107th Ave. are part of Peoria 85382. Regardless of the city or zip code, all belong to the Ventana Lakes Property Owners Association. Ventana Lakes , situated on 480 acres, has been recognized as the “Adult Community for the Young-at-Heart”.

Activites, Walking Paths and Amenities Produce A Close Knit Community

A unique feature of Ventana Lakes is the unique opportunity that every resident has to enjoy the waterfront atmosphere by utilizing the pathways that border the 30 acres of lakes. On the largest lake, a complete walk around the lake is close to 1.5 miles. Waterfront home owners can access the walking paths right from their backyard and at the same time enjoy the serene and peaceful waterfront views from their back porch.

The community of 1,700 properties and over 200 waterfront homes enjoys 4 separate pools and 2 spas, a sauna and steam room, recreation and fitness room, handball courts, billiards, bocce ball, and more.

Ventana Lakes Waterfront Homes for Sale

Residents come together on a monthly bus trips to visit casinos, shows and anything else that looks entertaining. Or they may decide to organize breakfasts, concerts, bingo, karaoke, or dances. The Willow Creek golf course is practically next door. A short 4 mile commute east offers access to the 101 freeway providing smooth access to the greater Phoenix area.

Homes for Sale in Sun Lakes Active Adult Retirement Community

For those that are looking for a waterfront or lakefront home in Sun Lakes:

Waterfront Homes in Sun Lakes Active Adult Retirement Community

Back in 1972 when Ed Robson developed Sun Lakes, it was a stand alone community and separate from it’s neighbor to the north, Chandler. Now it blends into the prestigious Ocotillo Lakes area in Chandler and enjoys great proximity to freeways, healthcare, dining, libraries and shopping.

Satellite view of Sun Lakes

The clients I have helped purchase homes in Sun Lakes have spoken very favorably about the community. There is a strong sense of community and for those willing to get involved, making friends comes very easy. The activities at the recreation center were given very high marks by one couple.

Given the wide range of housing options, the location, experience of past clients, amenities, and the abundance of waterfront homes, it is definitely a community for active adults that I would recommend.
