Waterfront Holiday Christmas Decorations in Phoenix Lake Communities

gordonbaker@remax.net — Mon, 02 Jan 2012 00:48:14 +0000

Christmas lights light up lake communities

Christmas time in lake communities takes on an added dimension. In addtion to the he annual ritual of displaying holiday lights in the front yard, waterfront lots can decorate the backyards which can be seen from quite a distance. Some lake communities even schedule a boat parade to show off decorated boats. Some communities such as Val Vista Lakes and The Islands in Gilbert make the boat parade an annual event.

Holiday Christmas Decorations on waterfont homes

What could be more unique than to cruise through a man-made lake in Phoenix on a pontoon boat that is lit up like a Christmas tree? Obviously, this form of entertainment can only take place on Phoenix area lake communities that allow boats. And you need to have a good size battery on board for all those lights.

Mesa Condos at Water Works

gordonbaker@remax.net — Mon, 12 Dec 2011 00:56:23 +0000

WaterWorks Condominiums in Mesa, Az.

It would be a stretch to classify Water Works as a lake community but the water features in the middle of the complex do provide a soothing atmosphere to the condominiums. There are just over 200 condos that were built between 1982 and 1985, with either 1 or 2 bedroom floor plans. The development is located east of Dobson Rd. on Baseline in Mesa. The complex also features a community pool, and is just around the pool from the Dobson Ranch Golf Course.

One and Two Bedroom Condos

The one and two bedroom condos range in size from 768 square feet for a one bedroom to 1,190 sq.ft. for a 2 bedroom unit. The location of WaterWorks is extremely close to the US60 and the 101 freeway.

Satellite view of Water Works

The 204 units in the complex surround the two water features and community pool in the center. Covered parking is located on the periphery of the complex.

Condos for Sale in Water Works

The monthly HOA fee seemed higher than other complexes and I did notice some instances of deferred maintenance around the complex, unfortunately.

Dobson Ranch Waterfront Townhouses at The Landings in Mesa, Az.

gordonbaker@remax.net — Sat, 19 Nov 2011 18:54:31 +0000

Lakefront Views at The Landings at Dobson Ranch Townhouses

The unique characteristic of this lake community is the high percentage of townhouses that have views of the water. Over 75% of the properties have a view from the back patio and bedrooms of the small canals that run north and south through the community. There is a combination of single and two story townhouses in The Landings.

Lakes or Water Features?

When compared to other lake communities the bodies of water in The Landings at Dobson Ranch are on the small side, but they do provide a welcome contrast to the typical desert landscaping. So maybe they should be looked upon as large and attractive water features. The Landings also has a community pool, besides the Dobson Ranch pools to which residents can enjoy.

Multiple HOA’s

This brings up an important issue regarding HOA’s. In large master planned communities that have a variety of housing, ie. single family homes and townhouses, it is common for the residents in a townhoue/condo community to pay for two HOAs. One for the master planned community such as Dobson Ranch and another for The Landings. This is also the case for other townhouse communities such as Harbour Village at The Lakes in Tempe and Crescent Falls in Fulton Ranch. Even if the listing does not indicate there are two HOA’s, it is wise to investiage this thoroughly before submitting an offer.

Townhouses for Sale in The Landings

Satellite View of The Landings

Townhouses in The Landings were built in the late ’70′s and range in square footage from 1,152 – 1, 787 with the single story units having the larger living area.

The Landings enjoys good access to the US60 freeway as well as the Dobson Ranch Golf Course. running paths along the canals, shopping and dining, and the Mesa Arts Center in Historic Downtown.

Half-Marathon, 10K and 5K in Mesa

gordonbaker@remax.net — Sun, 13 Nov 2011 05:21:06 +0000

Early Morning Run in Perfect Weather at Shun The Sun Race

On November 12th about 1,000 runners gathered at the Hohokam Stadium, the spring training facility for the Chicago Cubs, to participate in the third annual Shun the Sun 5K, 10K, and half marathon. The purpose for the race is to raise awareness of the importance of skin cancer prevention. My purpose for attending the race was to be the cheer leader for my wife Chris who ran the half-marathon (13.1 miles). The weather was perfect, overcast and 55 degrees at the 7:00 a.m. start time.

Shun The Sun Race follows Consolidated Canal in Mesa

The race course was changed due to construction taking place on the original route. Instead of running on sidewalks on major arterial streets, the alternate course took place along the 18 mile Consolidated Canal that provided a more protected route. The paths along the many SRP canals have long been favorite routes for walkers, joggers, and bicyclists throughout the Phoenix valley.

Organized races are very upbeat events. With the endorphins flowing, crossing the finish line creates a strong sense of accomplishment. After completing the race, participants were met with refreshments such as fresh fruits, granola bars, fruit smoothies, snacks and cookies.

One half marathon participant was met at the finish line by her boyfriend who took advantage of the opportunity to propose marriage. Maybe that was part of his strategy; to ask her to marry him while she was in a weakened physical and emotional state. Regardless of the strategy, he was successful because shortly after crossing the finish line she was met with a bonquet of flowers and the proverbial question to which she quickly responded with a hug and “yes”.

Phoenix is an ideal location for running events beginning in November through April. The P.F. Chang’s half marathon and full marathon are scheduled for January that starts in Tempe. The annual Pat Tillman 4.2 mile run, also in Tempe, takes place in April. The Lost Dutchman races offer a 2 mile run/walk, , 8K, 10K, half marathon, and marathon every February. These are just a sample of the many races that are available to runners to choose from.

Lake Park Condos for Sale

Dobson Ranch is one of the oldest master planned communities in the Phoenix area. The origins of Dobson Ranch reach back to the early history of the east valley when it began as a cattle ranch and farming operation. Wilson Wesley Dobson emigrated from Canada to Arizona and began his cattle ranching and farming in 1886, which is 25 years before Roosevelt Dam was completed.

Superstition Springs In Mesa Residential Lake Community

gordonbaker@remax.net — Mon, 04 Jul 2011 05:52:19 +0000

Waterfront Homes in Superstition Springs in Mesa

This Mesa lake community is a hidden treasure among lake communities in the Phoenix area. First of all, Mesa doesn’t have a lot of lake communities or waterfront communities, so potential buyers may not think to look in Mesa. Secondly, it has less than 70 waterfront lot homes, so the community is not well known among lake communities. These lake subdivision homes, mostly single story, represent some of the most affordable and best values in waterfront property in the valley.

East valley lake community with lakeside walking path

A distinctive feature of this Superstition Spring subdivision is the community walking path that circles the lake. If you are looking for a lakeside home with access to a boat in your backyard, this is NOT the place for you. Waterfront homes are separated from the lake by a view fence. Community residents can enjoy leisurely walks around any of the four lakes which equates to about a 1/4 mile stroll.

Superstition Lake Homes for Sale

Within 1/2 mile is an abundance of restaurants, the Superstition Springs Mall, access to the US 60 freeway, and the Superstition Springs Golf Club. For those interested in condos, a good alternative is Superstition Lakes Condominiums.

Satellite view of Superstition Lakes

If a waterfront home comes on the market, it would be wise to act quickly because these waterfront homes do not stay on the market long. To be made aware of homes in this community, request automated Superstition Lakes listings.

Boating in Phoenix Lake Communities

gordonbaker@remax.net — Mon, 27 Jun 2011 03:37:35 +0000

Waterfront Homes and communities that allow boating

As with a search for any home, Phoenix area waterfront property buyers have their criteria that best describes their dream home. When describing Phoenix real estate waterfront homes, there is an additional parameter that is often important; a lake that allows boats. Instead of going to a park, a waterfront home owner may decide to go “crusing” around the lake. Some communities allow boats and some do not. Most lake communities only allow pontoon boats that are powered by electric motors. To enjoy a true motor boat ride you’ll have to choose from one of the six water ski communities in the valley. Even if the community does allow boating, make sure and verify that the body of water to which you’ll have access is large enough for that occasional boat ride.

Pontoon Boats and Valley Lake Property

There are a variety of reasons why a waterfront property may not allow owners to have an electric pontoon boat or any kind of water craft. One may be that even though the listing agent has designated the property as waterfront, a distant view of H2O on the golf course may qualify as waterfront in their mind but it just isn’t so. There may also be a community sidewalk, walkway or common area that separates the property from the water, such as in Sun Lakes, Fulton Ranch, and Wellington Estates in Chandler.

Even when the waterfront lot is directly adjacent to the lake, the body of water may not be large enough or long enough to make boating worthwhile. This is the case in Chandler’s Lagos Vistoso, where the bodies of water range from 300 – 800 ft. in length and typically 80 feet wide. Crystal Gardens is part of the Avondale Wetland project which prohibits boating even though there are many waterfront homes. Other communities that do not allow boating in the community lake include Leisure World, Anderson Springs,

Lake Communities that DO allow boating:

This list may be best broken down by city since there are quite a few:

Chandler – Some of the more well known lake communities in Chandler that allow boats are Ocotillo, Pecos Ranch, Oakwood Lakes, The Springs and Pinelake Estates. One easy way to confirm this is go to Google maps and check out the satellite view and look for boats.

Pinelakes Estates Homes for Sale

Gilbert – Gilbert is unique in that it is home to 3 of the 6 water ski lake communities in the Phoenix valley; Crystal Point, Santan Lakeside Estates and Playa del Rey. A major reason why you would live in these subdivisions is for the opportunity to use a motor boat to water ski or wake board. The other Gilbert lake communities; The Islands, Val Vista Lakes, Wind Drift, Stonebridge Lakes are other lake communities that allow paddle boats and electric pontoon boats.

Mesa -Dobson Ranch is one of the original master planned lake communities is named after Wilson Wesley Dobson who emigrated from Canada to Arizona and began his cattle ranching and farming in 1886, which is 25 years before Roosevelt Dam was completed.

Dobson Ranch Homes for Sale

Tempe - The Lakes in Tempe, built in the mid-1970′s is said to be Arizona’s first man made lake community and features a community clubhouse and pool. Tempe Town Lakes offers more contemporary housing options. While home owners do not have private waterfront access, there are public and private boating options. Tempe Town Lake is one of the major visitor attractions for the valley. Condomiums such as Bridgeview, Edgewater, and Northshore provide fantastic views of Tempe Town Lake.

Glendale – Another well known lake subdivision located in the north valley is Arrowhead Ranch.

Arrowhead Homes for Sale

Peoria and Sun City - Located in the northwest valley, Ventana Lakes, an active adult community allow boating. Sun City features two lakes; Viewpoint Lake and Dawn Lake on which waterfront home owners can go boating. Peoria features Desert Harbor located close to the 101 freeway in the west valley.

Sun City Waterfront Homes for Sale

Desert Harbor Homes for Sale

Avondale – While Avondale has two lake communities located close to each other, only one allows lakefront residents to use a boat. Crystal Gardens strictly prohibits boating while Garden Lakes to the north allows boating.

Garden Lakes Homes for Sale

Goodyear – Estrella Mountain Ranch is unique in that there are very few waterfront properties in the family portion of Estrella Mountain and none of the residents have direct access to the lake. However, all residents of Estrella Mountain Ranch in Goodyear can take advantage of the lake which provides boats for the residents to use. Estrella Mountain Ranch also has a very nice community center and pool.

Estrella Mountain Ranch Homes for Sale

Arizona City – To the south in Pinal county, you’ll find Paradise Lake where residents can take advantage of a large 48 acre lake located in Arizona City.

Paradise Lake Waterfront Homes for Sale

San Tan Valley & Buckeye The remaining waterski lakes are located in San Tan Valley and Buckeye. Buchli Lake is the valley’s original lake community in the east valley. There are two communities in the west valley; Lakeside Ski Village and Spring Mountain Ski Ranch.

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.

Charter Schools in Arizona

gordonbaker@remax.net — Sun, 20 Mar 2011 06:47:59 +0000

Charter schools provide an alternative to traditional public schools

One of the many, but very important items on the checklist of things to do for a family relocating to the Phoenix area is researching schools. Which school is the best school in the area we want to live? Which district is the best? Do they have extra-curricular activities? And the questions go on and on. These families will also have to add another question that they may not have considered previously, “What about charter schools?”

Quick Facts about Arizona Charter Schools

Charter schools are public, state funded schools that came into existence as a result of legislation that was passed in 1994, making Arizona the 10th state to pass a charter school law at that time. It is also known as one of the ”strongest” charter laws in the nation allowing a high degree of autonomy from traditional public school regulations. The term of a school’s charter is 15 years with reviews every 5 years by the sponsoring board. Charter schools are funded by the state based on student attendance and cannot charge tuition.

The reason why families coming to Arizona may have not heard much about charter schools prior to coming arriving in Arizona is that of the 4,000 charters issued in the U.S., over 500 are in Arizona. Approximately 25% of the state’s public schools are charter schools, and 10% of public school students are enrolled in charter schools, the highest percentage of any state in the nation.

Many parents and students feel more comfortable with a smaller school setting and charter schools have received positive press. Websites that provide more information include the Arizona Charter Schools Association, and the Arizona State Board for Charter Schools. Some charter schools are some of the state’s top performing schools.

To see a list of charter schools in Arizona, click on the state charter school list. Once you click on the school name and go to the school page, you’ll find the school report card immediately below the school name at the top. You can also search for charter schools by name, city, zip code, sponsor name or county.

All four of our sons have attended charter schools at some point during their education. I asked my wife if she thought it gave them a better educational experience. Her reply was, “that depends on what you’re looking for”. Charter schools tend to be smaller in student population and therefore cannot offer some of the programs of larger schools such as sports, band, and do not provide transportation. At the same time, charter schools tend to focus more on a curriculum philosophy or specialty. Like any choice, there are pros and cons to any decision. My advice would be to talk to parents of students who attend a specific charter school.
