Why Live in The Lakes

The Lakes neighborhood in Tempe, AZ, is a master-planned community known for its unique man-made lake, which was the first of its kind in Arizona. Developed in the 1970s with input from Disneyland's waterway designers, the community features docks for kayaking and electric motor pontoons, and hosts events like a Mardi Gras celebration at the beach and tennis club. The neighborhood's lush greenery and abundant trees create an oasis-like atmosphere uncommon in the desert. Housing options include Spanish Revival, Mediterranean, ranch-style, and Midcentury homes, with prices ranging from the upper $200,000s to over $1 million for lakefront properties. Residents enjoy amenities such as a recreation center, junior Olympic pool, and courts for various sports. The community also stocks the lake with bass and trout for fishing. Dining options include The Porch, Jet’s Pizza, and Pier 54, while shopping is available at Trader Joe’s and Fry’s. The Lakes is served by Rover Elementary, Fees College Preparatory Middle, and Marcos de Niza High School, which emphasizes college and career readiness. Nearby attractions include the Tempe Festival of the Arts and the Fantasy of Lights Boat Parade. The community is well-connected with several Valley Metro bus stops, U.S. Highway 60, and proximity to Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport, 8 miles away, and Tempe St. Luke’s Hospital, 4 miles north.
