About this property

Cactus Cove – Family-Friendly Lakeside Home w/ Mountain Views & Free EV Charger

Welcome to Cactus Cove, a comfortable lakeside home in the Arrowhead Lakes community of Glendale, Arizona. This 3-bedroom, 2-bath single-story home offers beautiful lake and mountain views, a quiet neighborhood setting, and inviting spaces designed for families, couples, golfers, and longer stays.

Enjoy a relaxed Arizona lifestyle with outdoor gathering areas, nearby hiking, and convenient access to shopping, dining, golf, and major sports and event venues. A free EV charger is available in the garage.

WHY WE LOVE THIS HOME

What we love most is how peaceful it feels. The lake and mountain views create a calm, relaxing atmosphere, and the backyard is a favorite place to gather—whether it’s morning coffee by the water, pool time with family, or winding down by the fire pit in the evening.

LOCATION & CONVENIENCE

Cactus Cove offers a serene lakeside setting while remaining close to many popular destinations, including:

- Midwestern University

My daughter and two grandkids came from Minnesota for my twin great-granddaughters' first birthday. We loved the lake behind the house and watching the different birds that sat by the dam. The kids enjoyed the pool. The neighborhood is pretty and felt safe to walk around.The beds are comfortable. The kitchen and bathrooms are well stocked. It was nice being able to park in the garage and unload groceries right into the kitchen. We enjoyed our stay.

Unexpected Medical Trip

Andrea was fabulous. We had an unexpected medical trip and she was extremely thoughtful in helping get the house set up in a way to accommodate our needs. There was alot happening and she was very supportive the entire process. The house location was ideal for our needs, easy access to major highways, a relaxing backyard to watch the birds and see the water. Easy home to get around in, all one level, comfortable for our needs.
