Lake Arrowhead is just 90 miles east of downtown Los Angeles and just a half-hour drive from San Bernardino on the historic "Rim Of The World Highway", leading to Lake Arrowhead and

designated as a National Scenic Byway, providing majestic views reaching to the Pacific Ocean. Located at an altitude of 5,100 feet, this beautiful picturesque lake community is nestled in a magnificent forest setting which surrounds a 784 acre private lake. The fresh mountain air and four season climate is unmatched in Southern

California. Lake Arrowhead is man-made and was originally created in the early 1900's as a reservoir. State laws, however, later prohibited it's use as a reservoir and in the 1920's a small alpine village was created on the south shore. This has since been replaced with a wonderful lakefront shopping center and the

beautiful Lake Arrowhead Resort. Blue Jay village, located nearby is also a fine shopping center and home of the famous Blue Jay Ice Castle and International Training Center. There are 10,710 lots in Arrowhead Woods where property

ownership carries with it the right to use the lake for boating and fishing. The year-round population is about 12,000. Most residents are second home owners who enjoy their mountain home on weekends and during vacation time. Many

homeowners use their homes for home-based businesses. This way they can enjoy the four-season climate and still be within 2 hours of all Southern California cities. There is one high school, one junior high school, and two elementary schools. Lake Arrowhead also has several fine restaurants and a variety of

specialty shops. And for skiers, Snow Valley is just 25 minutes away. Mountains Community Hospital is a 24-hour hospital which includes a new emergency room, skilled nursing, medical offices and a wide range of medical specialties.

Lake Arrowhead Country Club has an 18-hole championship golf course, swimming pool and 7 tennis courts. The Lake Arrowhead Yacht Club is open during the summer months and is a mecca for sail boat enthusiasts. Trout and bass fishing is also a popular

year-round sport as well as water skiing during the summer months. Nature walks and mountain trails for hiking are a favorite pastime for those who love the out doors.

The average cost of a home is about $200,000. Lakefront homes and several gated communities have higher prices, but are still a tremendous value for all of the amenities that come with living in this beautiful mountain community.

Ontario International Airport is one hour from Lake Arrowhead which allows easy access to world-wide travel.

Lake Arrowhead is a unique, one-of-a-kind community in Southern California. For more information about the Lake Arrowhead community, feel free to contact Joyce Miller here at Century 21 High Country Realty.
