Chandler Lake Community at Pinelake Estates

Chandler has more lake communities than any city in the Phoenix valley. And of the Chandler waterfront subdivisions, Pinelake Estates is one of the newer lake commmunities next to Fulton Ranch. If boating on the lake is important, Pinelake Estates should be on your list. Homes in the community were built by Schuler, Shea, Trend, and DR Horton between 2002 to 2005.

Wider lake provides awesome views

Homes in Pinelake Estates range in size from 2,800 to over 5,400 sq.ft. and 85% have a private pool. Buyers looking for a basement home in a lake community are in luck. Both Schuler and DR Horton built luxury basement homes in the community.

Pinelake Estates is part of the Chandler Unified School District, and students attend Santan Elementary, Santan Jr. High, and Hamilton High School. Tumbleweed Park, one of Chandler’s largest park that includes a recreation center is only 2 miles away. Those who enjoy walking, jogging and bicycling will love the fact that a recreation trail runs right next to the community.

While the width of a lake varies throughout the community, Pinelake Estates have some of the best lake views because of the wider portions of the man made lake. It is not uncommon to have over 150 feet from one lake view to the opposite side.

Mesa, Az. condominiums at Water Works

It would be a stretch to classify Water Works as a lake community but the water features in the middle of the complex do provide a soothing atmosphere to the condominiums. There are just over 200 condos that were built between 1982 and 1985, with either 1 or 2 bedroom floor plans. The development is located east of Dobson Rd. on Baseline in Mesa. The complex also features a community pool, and is just around the pool from the Dobson Ranch Golf Course.

They are found within the highly rated Kyrene Elementary School District and Tempe Union High School District boundaries.

New Bridge Installed Over Tempe Town Lake Dam

One Oct. 18, 2011, the new Tempe Town Lake Pedestrian bridge opened, connecting the north and south shores of Tempe Town Lake. The bridge consists of 4 spans, each measuring 228 feet, weighing 165,000 lbs. The bridge protects the bladders of the dam from the sun and contains a built-in sprinkler system to cool the bladders when needed. This was the point of contention when one of the bladders failed on July 20, 2010, that the maintenance had been inadequate. The picture to the left was taken just days after the dam failed and sent over 750 million gallons of water down the Salt River. The lake was dry for 3 months before the dam was repaired and the lake refilled in October 2010.

Tempe Town Lake serves walkers, joggers and cyclists

The bridge cost $5.1 million with the majority coming from federal funds. It measures 12 feet wide and 34 feet high and is suspended by 32 cables. Tempe Town Lake is one of the state’s most visited man-made attractions. When I visited the bridge, there were joggers, skateboarders, bicyclists, and pedestrians taking advantage of an evening walk. The pedestrian bridge is another amenity that contributes to the Tempe Town Lake experience.
