Private Colorado River beach access
People like to fend for themselves in Mohave County. In rural parts of this vast desert community across the Colorado River from Nevada, amenities like hospitals, law enforcement and grocery stores are intentionally hard to find. But the HOA in the riverside residential community of Playa del Rio is so strong that people join it by choice. “A completely voluntary HOA is not something we often see out here, and typically, people would opt out without a second thought, but the perks are worth it,” says Kris Schoppers of Realty One Group Mountain Desert, who has nearly two decades of experience in Bullhead City. “If you do join, you have access to a private gated beach, picnic areas and a boat launch and out here, it’s all about how easily you can access the river.” The HOA’s private recreation area offers the only beachfront access in the neighborhood, but even non-members can usually walk to public beaches and swimming areas from their homes.

Don Sullivan dog park and fun at Rotary Park
Non-HOA members can walk to the public Don Sullivan Park, a quiet, dog-friendly beach where people can swim. Just a mile up the shoreline is the massive Rotary Park, a 300-acre recreation space with 1.2 miles of sandy beach and a boat launch. Kids play baseball, football and softball on the park’s lighted fields, and grownups can play pickleball, basketball and tennis on its courts. Dogs can play in a fenced-in area and people can practice their tricks at the skate park. The Chaparral Golf and Country Club hosts league play on different nights throughout the week on its 18-hole championship course. The club also has a restaurant and pool area.

Ranch-style houses and large villas
Playa del Rio features a wide range of housing options, including manufactured homes costing between $220,000 and $250,000. Ranch-style builds with attached garages cost $230,000 to $375,000, and three-story, Italian villa-style properties sit right on the river, taking up about 6,000 square feet of space. These cost between $1.5 million and $2.7 million. “It’s an older community, so some of the houses aren’t remodeled, and those will be under a million regardless of location on the river,” says Schoppers. Riverside houses near the river sit right next to each other on quiet residential roads. It gets hot here in the summer, with temperatures often exceeding 110 degrees.
