What makes a Gilbert waterfront home great? – The View
One of the most important criteria
for a waterfront home is not the curb appeal as you drive up to the house, but the view from the backyard looking out on the lake. Even though an appraiser may not be able to quantify this view, waterfront home buyers understand the importance of a view that extends more than 100 feet from the shoreline. The Islands is also a true boating community that allows boating for lakefront residents with pontoon boats as you can see from the picture to the right.
