<p>Chandler has more lake communities than any city in the Phoenix valley.  And of the Chandler waterfront subdivisions, Pinelake Estates is one of the newer lake commmunities next to Fulton Ranch.  If  <a title="Boating on the lake" href="http://phoenixwaterfronttalk.com/2011/06/26/boating-in-phoenix-lake-communities/" target="_blank">boating on the lake </a>is important,  Pinelake Estates should be on your list.  Homes in the community were built by Schuler, Shea, Trend, and DR Horton between 2002 to 2005.</p>
<p><span id="more-11371"></span></p>
<h3>Wider lake provides awesome views<a href="http://phoenixwaterfronttalk.com/files/2011/12/Pinelake-Estates-Waterfront-Home.jpg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-11408" src="http://phoenixwaterfronttalk.com/files/2011/12/Pinelake-Estates-Waterfront-Home-300x191.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="191" /></a></h3>
<p>Homes in Pinelake Estates range in size from 2,800 to over 5,400 sq.ft. and 85% have a private pool.   Buyers looking for a basement home in a lake community are in luck.  Both Schuler and DR Horton built luxury  <a title="basement homes" href="http://www.myhomeinaz.com/basements.htm" target="_blank">basement homes </a>in the community.</p>

<p>While the width of a lake varies throughout the community, Pinelake Estates have some of the best lake views because of the wider portions of the man made lake. It is not uncommon to have over 150 feet from one lake view to the opposite side.</p>

<div>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 &#8220;crusing&#8221; 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&#8217;ll have to choose from one of the <a title="Ski communities" href="http://phoenixwaterfronttalk.com/category/waterski-lake-community/" target="_blank">six water ski communities </a>in the valley.  Even if the community does allow boating, make sure and verify that the body of water to which you&#8217;ll have access is large enough for that occasional boat ride.</div>
<div><span id="more-10316"></span></div>
<h3>Pontoon Boats and Valley Lake Property</h3>
<div>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 <a href="http://phoenixwaterfronttalk.com/files/2011/06/Custom-Waterfront-Home-in-Chandler-at-Fulton-Ranch.jpg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-10333" src="http://phoenixwaterfronttalk.com/files/2011/06/Custom-Waterfront-Home-in-Chandler-at-Fulton-Ranch-300x219.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="219" /></a>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&#8217;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, <a title="fulton ranch" href="http://phoenixwaterfronttalk.com/2010/02/22/fulton-ranch-lake-community-in-chandler-arizona/" target="_blank">Fulton Ranch</a>, and<a title="wellington estates" href="http://phoenixwaterfronttalk.com/2009/08/23/chandler-gated-luxury-waterfront-homes-wellington-estates-lake-community/" target="_blank"> Wellington Estates </a>in Chandler.</div>
<div>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&#8217;s<a title="Lagos vistoso" href="http://phoenixwaterfronttalk.com/2009/03/16/gated-chandler-lake-community-homes-in-lagos-vistoso/" target="_blank"> Lagos Vistoso</a>, where the bodies of water range from 300 &#8211; 800 ft. in length and typically 80 feet wide.  <a title="Crystal Gardens" href="http://phoenixwaterfronttalk.com/2009/10/17/crystal-gardens-waterfront-homes-avondale-lake-community/" target="_blank">Crystal Gardens </a>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,</div>

<div>This list may  be best broken down by city since there are quite a few:</div>
<div><strong>Chandler </strong> &#8211; Some of the more well known lake communities in Chandler that allow boats are <a title="Ocotillo" href="http://phoenixwaterfronttalk.com/2010/01/29/chandler-waterfront-homes-with-great-views-at-ocotillo/" target="_blank"> Ocotillo</a>, <a title="Pecos Ranch" href="http://phoenixwaterfronttalk.com/2010/02/06/pecos-ranch-chandler-lake-community/" target="_blank">Pecos Ranch</a>, <a title="Oakwood Lakes" href="http://phoenixwaterfronttalk.com/2011/05/18/oakwood-lakes-waterfront-homes-and-chandler-lake-community/" target="_blank">Oakwood Lakes</a>, <a title="The Springs" href="http://phoenixwaterfronttalk.com/2009/09/24/chandler-waterfront-homes-and-lake-community-the-springs/" target="_blank">The Springs </a>and<a title="Pinelake Estates" href="http://phoenixwaterfronttalk.com/2011/12/03/pinelake-estates-waterfront-homes-in-chandler-az/" target="_blank"> Pinelake Estates</a>.  One easy way to confirm this is go to Google maps and check out the satellite view and look for boats.</div>

The Arizona Regional MLS has recently made &#8220;granite countertops&#8221; a searchable field for those buyers where granite kitchen counter tops are a &#8220;must have&#8221;.  While buyers and sellers alike will attest to the natural beauty of granite, the facts behind this natural igneous upgrade are sometimes unknown. </p>
<p><span id="more-8653"></span></p>
<h3>Igneous crystalline formation of Quartz, Feldspar and Mica   <a href="http://phoenixwaterfronttalk.com/files/2010/10/Exotic-Granite-slab.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-8664 alignleft" title="Exotic Granite slab" src="http://phoenixwaterfronttalk.com/files/2010/10/Exotic-Granite-slab-300x224.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="224" /></a></h3>
<p>I was lucky enough to find a Tracy Makowski, the Branch Manager  at<a title="Interceramic Marble Collection" href="http://www.imcstone.com/" target="_blank"> Interceramic Marble Collection</a> in Tempe who showed me around their warehouse showroom and allowed me to take the pictures featured in this post.</p>
<p>Granite slabs typically come in two thicknesses, 2 cm. and 3 cm., which translates into  3/4 and  1  1/4 inches  for those that are metrically challenged. A basic 62&#8243; x 109&#8243;  two centimeter thick slab can weigh between 600 &#8211; 800 lbs. Granite is an igneous rock  formed from magma. The word granite comes from the <a href="http://phoenixwaterfronttalk.com/files/2010/10/Granite-slab-and-crane.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-8678 alignright" title="Granite slab and crane" src="http://phoenixwaterfronttalk.com/files/2010/10/Granite-slab-and-crane-300x216.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="216" /></a>Latin, <em>granum</em>, a grain, in reference to the coarse-grained structure of this  crystalline rock. Granite is formed from magma as it cools far beneath the earth&#8217;s surface very slowly allowing the crystals to form.   Granite is comprised of quartz, feldspar, mica, and to some degree hornblende.  Granite kitchen counter tops are a standard among many<a title="Luxury homes with granite" href="http://phoenixwaterfronttalk.com/2009/08/14/luxury-waterfront-homes-in-phoenix/" target="_blank"> Phoenix luxury waterfront community homes</a>.</p>
<p>As I walked around the showroom it was interesting to see the country of origin of the granite slabs which included Brazil, India, Italy, Finland, Norway, Madagascar, Africa, and Argentina.<a href="http://phoenixwaterfronttalk.com/files/2010/11/X-files-granite-stone.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-8707 alignleft" title="X-files granite stone" src="http://phoenixwaterfronttalk.com/files/2010/11/X-files-granite-stone-300x271.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="271" /></a></p>
<p>All installed granite slabs that I&#8217;ve seen have a polished finish.  And most of the slabs in the warehouse also had a polished finish. The other type of finish is a &#8220;leathered&#8221;, satin or antiqued style.  The leathered finish has a rougher texture and more of a matte finish.</p>
<p>Below is a YouTube view explaining the process starting with extraction from the quarry to installation in the kitchen.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3>Chandler boasts more lake communities than any city in the Phoenix valley<a href="http://phoenixwaterfronttalk.com/files/2010/05/Fulton-Ranch1.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-7437 alignleft" title="Fulton Ranch" src="http://phoenixwaterfronttalk.com/files/2010/05/Fulton-Ranch1-300x206.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="206" /></a></h3>
<p>If you count the individual Chandler waterfront communities, you&#8217;ll easily be in excess of 25 Chandler lake communities.  Many of them are part of the overall Ocotillo Community Association.  Many of these are well know Ocotillo lake communities such as Balboa Point, Embarcadero, Cantabria Shores, Bridges at Ocotillo The Vista at Ocotillo, The Penisula, and Crown Point.  This post will give anyone interested in <strong>Chandler waterfront homes</strong> a good overview of the available options.</p>
<p><span id="more-7435"></span></p>
<h3>The Ocotillo Community Association</h3>
<p><a href="http://phoenixwaterfronttalk.com/files/2010/05/ScreenHunter_02-May.-22-20.48.gif"><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-7439" title="ScreenHunter_02 May. 22 20.48" src="http://phoenixwaterfronttalk.com/files/2010/05/ScreenHunter_02-May.-22-20.48.gif" alt="" width="364" height="248" /></a></p>
<p>The Ocotillo Community Association deserves special notice since it has such a significant impact on south Chandler.  While many community associations are mainly residential in nature, the <a title="Ocotillo community association" href="http://www.oca-az.com/OCA_Map.htm" target="_blank">Ocotillo Community Association </a>includes over 1,900 acres and its members include residential communities and commercial and business, recreational,  apartments and retail. </p>

<h3>Fulton Ranch Lake Community in south Chandler<a href="http://phoenixwaterfronttalk.com/files/2010/05/Fulton-Ranch-Waterfront-Home-in-Lake-community-Chandler-az.jpg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-7457" title="Fulton Ranch Waterfront Home in Lake community Chandler az" src="http://phoenixwaterfronttalk.com/files/2010/05/Fulton-Ranch-Waterfront-Home-in-Lake-community-Chandler-az-300x209.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="209" /></a></h3>
<p><a title="Fulton Ranch" href="http://phoenixwaterfronttalk.com/2010/02/22/fulton-ranch-lake-community-in-chandler-arizona/" target="_blank">Fulton Ranch</a> is ranch is one of the newest lake communities in Chandler. Residential housing options include  townhouse / condo communities by Cachet homes,  residential single family homes by Fulton and 1/2 acre custom homesite in The Islands at Fulton Ranch.</p>

<p>Fulton Ranch opened at the height of the market and as a result the community has been slow in buiding out.  An example of the swings it has endured can be seen in the custom home waterfront lots in the exclusive community, The Islands at Fulton Ranch.  In 2007, lots in The Islands at Fulton Ranch around 6/10&#8242;s  of an acre sold for $550,000  to $625,000. In the first half of 2010, two custom built homes of 5,859 sq.ft. and 6,206 sq.ft.  in the same subdivision sold as<a title="phoenix short" href="http://www.phoenixshortsaleinfo.com/" target="_blank"> short sales </a>for $950,000  and $1,150,000.  It was necessary for Fulton Homes to reduce its prices and focus on smaller floor plans.   This is an attractive community with excellent proximity to amenities and the freeway.</p>
<h3>Pinelake Estates Lake Community</h3>
<p><a href="http://phoenixwaterfronttalk.com/files/2010/05/Backyard-pool-and-lake-in-Pinelakes.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-7468" title="Backyard pool and lake in Pinelakes" src="http://phoenixwaterfronttalk.com/files/2010/05/Backyard-pool-and-lake-in-Pinelakes-300x225.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="225" /></a>Built between 2003 and 2005, <a title="Pinelake estates" href="http://phoenixwaterfronttalk.com/neighborhoods/pinelake-estates/" target="_blank">Pinelakes Estates </a>features homes built by Trend, Shea, Schuler and D.R. Horton.  Being less than 10 years old, Pinelakes Estates homes also have a more updated and contemporary feel.</p>
<p><a title="Pinelake estates" href="http://idx.diversesolutions.com/link/32516" target="_blank">Homes for Sale in Pinelake Estates</a></p>
<p><a title="Pinelake estates" href="http://idx.diversesolutions.com/link/84249" target="_blank">Pinelake Estates Waterfront homes for sale</a></p>
<p>One of the comparative advantages of Pinelake Estates is the length of the waterfront behind the houses.  There are some waterfront communities where 70 feet from the backyard shore to the opposing shore is common.  In Pinelake Estates it is not uncommon to find homes with at least 150 feet from the backyard shore to the other side.  In terms of length of waterfront view, this community is one of the best in the valley.</p>
<h3>The Springs, Pecos Ranch, Wellington Estates,  &amp; Lagos Vistoso</h3>
<p>Other Chandler lake communities include <a title="The Springs" href="http://phoenixwaterfronttalk.com/2009/09/24/chandler-waterfront-homes-and-lake-community-the-springs/" target="_blank">The Springs</a>. This community is unique with terraced lakes that use waterfall to transfer water from one lake to the next. The community also never received the memo that said you <a href="http://phoenixwaterfronttalk.com/files/2010/05/Pecos-Ranch-boating-in-waterfront-community-in-Chandler.jpg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-7478" title="Pecos Ranch boating in waterfront community in Chandler" src="http://phoenixwaterfronttalk.com/files/2010/05/Pecos-Ranch-boating-in-waterfront-community-in-Chandler-300x207.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="207" /></a>had to use palo verde and mesquite trees in the common area landscaping so much of the scenery utilizes pine trees, a welcome change to the typical desert landscaping in many developments.  Also, no need to worry about a private pool, The Springs has its own community pool and tennis court.<a title="The Springs homes for sale" href="Homes for Sale in The Springs" target="_blank"> Homes for sale in The Springs</a></p>
<p><a title="Pecos Ranch" href="http://phoenixwaterfronttalk.com/2010/02/06/pecos-ranch-chandler-lake-community/" target="_blank">Pecos Ranch</a>, a family friendly lake community in Chandler includes 120 waterfront homes, a community pool and tennis courts and a nearby city park.  It is located just south of the 202  on Dobson Road. <a title="Pecos Ranch homes for sale" href="http://idx.diversesolutions.com/link/64445" target="_blank">Pecos Ranch Homes for Sale</a></p>
<p><a title="Lagos Vistoso" href="http://phoenixwaterfronttalk.com/2009/03/16/gated-chandler-lake-community-homes-in-lagos-vistoso/" target="_blank">Lagos Vistoso</a>, a newer lake community in Chandler has a high number of waterfront homes compared to the total homes in the subdivision.  <a title="Lagos Vistoso" href="http://idx.diversesolutions.com/link/36285" target="_blank">Lagos Vistoso Homes for Sale</a>  The lakes in Lagos Vistoso are some of the more narrow of valley lake communities, with typically 70 from one shore to the opposite shore, a disadvantage in my opinion.</p>
<p><a title="Wellington Estates" href="http://phoenixwaterfronttalk.com/2009/08/23/chandler-gated-luxury-waterfront-homes-wellington-estates-lake-community/" target="_blank">Wellington Estates </a>is a secluded, gated luxury home subdivision with only 20 homes.  Understandably, the lots are larger, the smallest being 15,000 sq.ft.(1/3 acre).  <a title="Wellington Estates" href="http://idx.diversesolutions.com/link/43563" target="_blank">Wellington Estates Homes for Sale</a>   These custom homes range in size from 2,900 to 4,900 sq.ft.</p>
<h3>Waterfront Condos in Chandler</h3>
<p>Another popular residential option, especially for those looking for lower maintenance responsibiites or a second home are townhouse and condos in lakeside communities.</p>
<p><a href="http://phoenixwaterfronttalk.com/files/2010/05/Lakeshore-at-Andersen-Springs.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-7475 alignright" title="Lakeshore at Andersen Springs" src="http://phoenixwaterfronttalk.com/files/2010/05/Lakeshore-at-Andersen-Springs-300x212.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="212" /></a><a title="bridges at ocotillo" href="http://phoenixwaterfronttalk.com/2010/03/19/the-bridges-at-ocotillo-chandler-az-waterfront-condominiums/" target="_blank">Bridges at Ocotillo</a> is part of the master Ocotillo community association and features condos built by Starpointe Commuities.   <a title="bridges at ocotillo" href="The Bridges at Ocotillo Condos for Sale" target="_blank">Condos for sale at the Bridges at Ocotillo</a></p>
<p><a title="Cantabria shores in Ocotillo" href="http://phoenixwaterfronttalk.com/2010/01/02/ocotillo-townhouses-at-cantabria-shores-in-chandler/" target="_blank">Cantabria Shores </a>in Chandler is surrounded by water and golf, perfect for a vacation home.  Driving through this gated community you&#8217;ll observe license plates from all over the country reflecting the popularity of this Chandler waterfront condo community.   <a title="Cantabria shores" href="Cantabria Townhouses for Sale" target="_blank">Condos for sale in Cantabria Shores</a>  Click on this <a title="satellite view of cantabria shores" href="http://maps.google.com/?ie=UTF8&amp;hq=&amp;hnear=Gilbert,+Maricopa,+Arizona&amp;t=h&amp;ll=33.249962,-111.869407&amp;spn=0.003069,0.004748&amp;z=18" target="_blank">satellite view</a> to see what  I mean about being surround by water and golf.</p>
<p>Another popular and affordable community on Ray road <a title="andersen springs" href="http://phoenixwaterfronttalk.com/2009/11/14/condominium-lake-community-in-chandler-andersen-springs/" target="_blank">isLakeshore at Andersen Springs</a>. With the recent drop in prices, many buyers are taking advantage of prices that have dropped below $100,000, making this community very affordable.</p>
<h3>Chandler Waterfront Bank Owned and Short Sale Properties</h3>
<p>While not as prevalent as last year, here are the <a title="Chandler Waterfront REO homes" href="http://idx.diversesolutions.com/link/84261" target="_blank">Chandler bank owned waterfront homes</a></p>
<p>Short sale waterfront homes can also present an opportunity, <a title="Chandler waterfront short sale homes" href="http://idx.diversesolutions.com/link/48253" target="_blank">Chandler Short Sale Waterfront Homes</a>, however buyers must be patient and <a title="Short sales" href="http://phoenixwaterfronttalk.com/2010/02/10/know-this-before-you-write-a-short-sale-offer/" target="_blank">understand the process can be frustrating</a>.  On the other hand, the two luxury homes sold in the first half of 2010 in The Islands at Fulton Ranch were short sales at signifcant discounts. </p>

<h3>How do schools near waterfront / lake communities rank?</h3>
<p>The other day the Tribune featured an article that discussed the number of schools that attained each level of the Achievement Profile as reported by the <a title="AZDE" href="http://www.ade.az.gov/" target="_blank">Arizona Department of Educaton</a>. That made me wonder how the schools that serve the Phoenix area waterfront homes and communities are ranked.  I should have stopped at that point since that simple question led to hours worth of searching, copying, pasting and creating hyperlinks.  The best way to answer the question was to go the Arizona Department of Education website and find the rankings for each elementary school and the corresponding community.  The page <a title="School report card" href="http://www.ade.az.gov/srcs/find_school.asp?rdoYear=2007" target="_blank">School Report Card page </a>is invaluable with the amount of information it contains. Unfortunately, 2007 is the last year for which it will be available.  Starting in 2008, the format is greatly condensed and I believe does not have as much information.  If you want to how the Jr. High and High Schools rank for a specific neighborhood, just e-mail or hopefully you&#8217;ll have visited the department&#8217;s website and learned how to use this useful tool.  I&#8217;m also convinced that what follows is the most complete list of waterfront / lakefront homes and communities for the Phoenix area by city.</p>

<h3>One of the newer Chandler lakefront communities</h3>
<p>Those who appreciate homes on larger lots and enhanced curb appeal with a great selection of single story and two story <a title="Waterfront home search" href="http://www.myhomeinaz.com/waterfront.htm" target="_blank">luxury waterfront homes </a>must add Pinelake Estates to their itinerary.  It is complemented by the Chandler city park that creates a gathering place where families can enjoy the playground, volleyball and basketball court.</p>
<p><a title="Hamilton High School nationally recognized" href="http://www.eastvalleytribune.com/story/90478" target="_blank">Hamilton High School</a> is less than a mile way and the 202 freeway is just 3 miles to the north.  You won&#8217;t have to venture far with the recent addition of retail shopping at the intersection of Arizona Ave. and Ocotillo.  The ever popular <a title="Chandler Fashion Center" href="http://www.chandlermall.com/" target="_blank">Chandler Fashion Center</a> is a quick 7 miles away.  The <a title="Chandler gaining upscale status" href="http://www.eastvalleytribune.com/story/91722" target="_blank">south Chandler area </a>has become home to many high tech semi conductor companies including Intel which are major employers in the Phoenix area.  Again proximity to work with a 3 mile commute from Pinelake Estates to Intel is extremely enticing.</p>

<h3><a href="http://phoenixwaterfronttalk.com/files/2008/09/pinelake-estates-single-story.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-177" src="http://phoenixwaterfronttalk.com/files/2008/09/pinelake-estates-single-story-300x147.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="147" /></a>The perfect Chandler home</h3>
<p>It is an interesting process to observe clients as they initially sift through property information and select those houses that &#8220;look good&#8221;.  Then after a couple of hours on the road visiting the lake communities and homes, the true favorites become obvious. This is what happened to Doug and Cheri when they were looking for a waterfront retirement home.  Pinelake Estates quickly rose to the top, and the area offered the life style the desired; lake communities, abundant amenities, golf courses,  easy freeway access, and an upscale feel. In Pinelake Estates they found a single story home with a negative edge pool on 1/3 acre with a fantastic lake view and the house was barely 5 years old.  They are now one of 90 waterfront homeowners. <a href="http://phoenixwaterfronttalk.com/files/2008/09/fresno-backyard.jpg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-178" src="http://phoenixwaterfronttalk.com/files/2008/09/fresno-backyard-300x224.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="224" /></a></p>
