Scenic lakeside living
The two scenic lakes in the heart of the Garden Lakes community give off the feeling of a private oasis in the west valley, making it one of the most desirable places to live in the area. The neighborhood boasts plenty of green spaces perfect for spending the day outdoors, and the two lakes are a focal point for waterside activities. The community is located about 7 miles from Goodyear and 17 miles from downtown Phoenix, with convenient access to Interstate 10, providing commuters with easy access around the valley. “It's a family-friendly lakes community,” says Michael Drefs, a Realtor with Keller Williams Realty who has several years of selling experience in the West Valley. “The waterfront properties are a big sell, but and there’s a bunch of things you can do with access to the two lakes, including fishing, kayaking, you name it.”
