Golf Course and Lake View homes in Lake Arrowhead do have a value. I know some will wager that it only has a value to some people, and that might be true.
However, you can't compare a home for $195,000 that sits on a main road with a view of the home behind it and no other view to a home that is very similar with a Lake Arrowhead lake view for a $100,000 more.
The home on the main road is going to be noisy and when you go to resell the home you are going to battle with the home being on a busy, main road. The Lake Arrowhead lake view home sits on a private road in a quiet neighborhood, is in better condition and will have a higher resale value in the future.
This past week on broker tour there was a home in the Lake Arrowhead Golf Course area, listed for $364,500 with a stunning view of Grass Valley Lake and the golf course. This home lives like a golf course frontage home for a fraction of the price it would take to buy an actual golf course frontage home. We have many clients who love the golf course area and have spent the money to enjoy this lifestyle.
Here is a shot of the view ~ What is your thought? Most Lake Arrowhead golf course frontages are on the market North of $900K and this is $364,500 for a better view than most Lake Arrowhead golf course frontages and right down the street from the Lake Arrowhead Country Club.
Top picks of the week for new listings in Lake Arrowhead ~ This week on tour we had some great new listings on the market. I have several favorites, however, I only choose the cream of the crop. My top picks of the week for Lake Arrowhead Real Estate are:
The forecast today in Lake Arrowhead, CA is showing 80% chance of rain... I was thinking back to last year and the snow storms we had already had at this time of year. The weather has been fickle, we have seen sunshine galore and we are wanting some winter to sparkle up our mountain. So with that being said, this girl is looking forward to the rainstorm that will grace our mountain today.
Here is a chart on the averages in weather through out the year.

PopulationThe history of how Lake Arrowhead came to be is a sweet story filled with rich imagination and some real life stars...
There is a legend on how the famous "Arrowhead" formation ended up on the side of the mountain, it can be seen as you are driving toward our wonderful area. Legend has it that a Great Spirit fired an arrow at healing hot springs along the baseline, to mark the spot for local Indian tribes. I will leave that to your imagination.
Originally called Little Bear Valley which had mostly loggers living in the area, became a weekend getaway area for the tourist and stars of the 1920's. They came up to stay at the lake-front hotels and lake-front homes. Lake Arrowhead became a year round destination with skiing, hiking and shopping. I remember my grandparents telling me how they came up for vacations for the summer in the 1930's and 1940's. Many Hollywood movies have been filmed right on the banks of Lake Arrowhead and Lake Gregory. In 1938 Of Human Hearts with Jimmy Stewart was filmed primarily at Lake Arrowhead, An American Tragedy filmed in 1931, the following years have brought many production companies up the hill to film this American Classic atmosphere and bring it into hearts around the world.
There are many magical stories of the history of Lake Arrowhead, from the super elite, to gangsters like Bugsy Seagel, to my very own grandparents. The past will ignite your intrigue and the reality will make you come back and stay awhile.
Almost all of the private land surrounding Lake Arrowhead has been subdivided into residential lots. About 10,000 lots are in Arrowhead Woods where property ownership carries with it the right to use Lake Arrowhead. 10,000 lots have been improved with residences ranging from modest cabins to some of the most expensive homes in the world. 4,200 of these homes are occupied full time by the permanent population of nearly 12,000. The 6,000 second homes are used on weekends, holidays and in the summer. On a summer holiday weekend, the population swells to forty thousand.
The permanent population is growing rapidly from 6,300 in 1980 to the 10,000 estimated in 1992, a 4% annual growth rate. Ultimate build-out population is projected to be about 33,500. Assuming the 4% growth rate continues, the permanent population will be approximately 14,000 in the year 2000, 20,500 in the year 2010 and 30,000 in the year 2020.
The demographics of the Lake Arrowhead population are not well documented. There are a number of retired residents but probably not more than 20% of the population. School attendance continues to grow and it is estimated that 50% of the permanent households have children in grade K-12. Income and education levels are higher than those of surrounding communities.
