Pine Lakes

Hidden gem. Inexpensive units with high lot rents. Great neighbors. Nice pool, pickleball courts, clubhouse.

Nice looking park, but the land lease fees are exorbitant and are forcing seniors out of their homes. Worse yet, they are having to sell their homes at bargain basement prices since no one wants to pay well over $1,000 a month in land lease fees. It is owned by a Private Equity Firm, and they have recognized it is a cash cow and are taking advantage of senior citizens. It is a form of elder abuse.

We were looking for the perfect place for us to retire and we found it. Pine Lakes is in the higher elevations of Arizona (our home sits at 5580 ft.). Weather is temperate, it does snow on occasion, and it does get into the 90's however usually low to no humidity. Community management must follow corporate regulations so read the rules and regs and follow them, then everything will be fine. Very quiet, beautiful. Neighbors are great. Yes lot rent (HOA) is very high, but the age old saying holds true, you get what you pay for. Bottom line, we love it here!

I bought my home in 2012. The neighbors I have are the best! I am handicapped and can't imagine a better place to live. Lots of activities for all owners plus dinners for most occasions. You'll love it here if you enjoy peace and quiet. Very serene with lakes and hiking. Love it!

This is a peaceful, friendly community. They have activities, a pool, a hot tub, clubhouse, bocci ball, pickle ball, a putting green, corn hole, a small lake with a fountain and walking trails. They have luncheons and brunches and exercise classes and many ways to connect. And the neighbors are a blast. Good people.
