Garden Lakes
Spend the day on the lake
The neighborhood's lakes allow for water activities such as catch-and-release fishing, taking a paddleboat, and relaxing on the water. There are also miles of walking paths, including paths around the two lakes that provide a scenic view. Head to Kimberly Park for an afternoon picnic under a shaded ramada. Children can play on the playground or dip their feet in the water of the south lake.Waterfront properties and more housing options
After spending the day outdoors, residents can retreat to quiet residential streets. Single-family homes in the area have maintained curb appeal throughout the years with Spanish Revival architecture, including tiled roofing and garages. Boat owners in lakeside properties can dock their vessel in their backyard. Home prices have stayed consistent throughout the recent years, typically between $400,000 and the mid-500,000s for waterfront properties.Public schools within walking distance
Children won’t have to travel far to class with Garden Lakes Elementary School in the neighborhood. The school has a B-minus grade on Niche and is part of the Pendergast Elementary District, teaching children from kindergarten until eighth grade. Younger students can join the buddy program that pairs them with older students for mentoring, extracurricular clubs and activities. After graduating, students will head just across the street to Westview High School, the largest school in the Tolleson Union High School District, with a B grade on Niche.Local dining and chain retailers
Locals craving pupusas or plantain empanadas go to Cristina’s for authentic Salvadorean cuisine and for a hearty torta sandwich, head to Tortas Manantial. Garden Lakes residents usually head down Indian School Road to get fresh produce and groceries from Fry’s. Several fast-food options are available along Indian School, including Arizona staple Filiberto’s or Starbucks for coffee on the go. For more restaurant options, Garden Lakes residents are only minutes away from Gateway Pavilions mall, and around six miles from Desert Sky Mall.Getting around the valley
Though there are many options nearby, Garden Lakes is conveniently located next to Arizona State Route 101 and minutes away from I-10.
