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
