Whether you're looking for shopping, boating, relaxing, moutain biking, wake boarding, great food, or anything else, chances are that you'll find what you're looking for in Lake Arrowhead. If you're looking to buy property here, or if you're just going to visit, there are several things that you will want to know and be aware of:
Most importantly, you should know that Lake Arrowhead is a private lake. Not just anyone can come up and put a boat on the lake or throw a fishing line in the water (like at Big Bear Lake). You MUST own land within the boundaries of Arrowhead Woods in order to enjoy the lake and the recreational activities associated with the water.
People who own property in Arrowhead Woods (including lakefront homes) have "lake rights." These rights enable such things as: putting a boat on the lake (with proper registration, insurance, etc.), owning a dock, fishing, swimming and utilizing the beach clubs (with a paid annual membership).
"Full" lake rights apply to those who own improved property in Arrowhead Woods. Those who own unimproved land also have lake rights, but those rights are limited and restrict them to day use of the lake only (they cannot own a dock).
ONLY people in Arrowhead Woods have "lake rights." No other community in the mountains has these rights. If you would like to know if a specific area or address is within Arrowhead Woods boundaries, please call us.
Accordingly, people owning property in Arrowhead Woods are also subject to Arrowhead Lake Association and Arrowhead Woods Architectural Committee rules and regulations.
Because of the added benefits of lake use, properties in Arrowhead Woods are typical more expensive than comparable homes outside of "the Woods." They also tend to have higher re-sale values. Right now, prices in Arrowhead Woods start in the mid- $200,000's, with median list prices hovering around $500,000. Lakefront homes are starting in the high $900,000's and go up to several million dollars.
Our local area brokers have a gentlemen's agreement that eliminates "for sale" signs being posted on properties in Arrowhead Woods. Therefore, if you are interested in seeing homes while you are in Lake Arrowhead, please call us so we can give you information about what homes are currently listed. Driving around to look at open houses will only show you a minute fraction of the homes actually on the market. Don't waste your time looking at open houses that aren't even in your price range - call us and we will put together a number of properties that meet your individual wants and needs.
