Lake Arrowhead "Village" in The San Bernardino Mountains

LAKE ARROWHEAD VILLAGE has something for everyone. Rides for the kiddies, ducks to feed, eateries that cater to every single taste-bud: Mexican, American, from Waffles to Sushi, and more. Much more. There's shopping galore or benches to sit on...relax, kick back and watch people stroll by (that's my favorite thing to do). Supposedly (and I haven't actually counted) there are 50 plus shops, restaurants and attractions at The Village. You can even get your hair done. AND all of this is on the lower level of The Village.
When I first moved here, one day while shopping at LAKE ARROWHEAD's VILLAGE, I saw a very young Michelle Quan dancing around the sidewalks, pretending to be ice skating...I had no idea at the time, who this tiny person was or what she was about to become.
Almost every weekend during the year--even in the winter--there is some special event taking place at The Village. For instance, in summer months, we have SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA'S LARGEST FREE SUMMER CONCERTS. Also, every Friday, there is a FARMER'S MARKET. One of the most enjoyable events for me this summer was the ANTIQUE CARS AND WOODEN BOAT SHOW. That was too much fun! Then as fall nears, we have the OCTOBER FEST, and the list goes on and on.
But back to shopping.... Stores at The Village range from Tattle-Tails, a cutsie store that carries "special" items for children, including clothing and toys (I bought my new grandson his "favorite" stuffed horsie there) to Outlet stores: shoes, purses, clothing, etc. You need it, there's a shop with it.
To get a feel, and loads of information, about Lake Arrowhead, take a ride on THE QUEEN. The captain at the helm will take you around the lake all the while explaining the history, the depth, pointing out celebrities (older, now moved) homes, just to name a few. Kids and adults alike love taking this approx. hour voyage.
OCTOBER FEST begins in September and runs through October. Every weekend, all weekend, this event starts at noon. Come enjoy the music and yummy German food provided by Papagayos (my FAV Mexican eatery!).
So... take a little tour of THE VILLAGE, in LAKE ARROWHEAD, and see for yourself why you need to come on down!

CEDAR RIDGE ESTATES--IN LAKE ARROWHEAD

Lake Arrowhead is special in so many ways. We're a small community. We're only a few miles from the city below, though it feels like a world away. We have a superior school district. We have homes that meet all lifestyles, prices and situations; from full-time to part-time, and cabins to castles.
One of my favorite "Neighborhoods" (my Localism NEIGHBORHOOD) is what I consider Lake Arrowhead's diamond. I remember when my family first moved here in 1991, how we accidentally came across this area while taking a drive on a quiet Sunday afternoon. It was a fairly new development. In fact, there was a local Realtor sitting near the front gates, with his card table set up, trying to sale vacant lots. So we drove around this area and it immediately became an all time favorite of mine. A very special community right here in my own backyard.
Cedar Ridge Estates is a stunning gated-community that sits perched above Lake Arrowhead, yet only a stone's throw to the lake and to Lake Arrowhead Village. All of the elegant homes behind these gates are custom and beautifully constructed by some of the countries finest builders. Entrance to CEDAR RIDGE ESTATES is off Cumberland Dr.
The lots these exquisite homes are built on are large and lush with cedars and pines..and private. Most parcels are at least ¾ acre or more, nearly level or gently sloped. You'll generally have plenty of space to build your dream home back from the street, leaving you with a long, winding or circular driveway.....and Privacy.
Lake Arrowhead is a private lake and like all properties within the Arrowhead Woods (lake rights) boundaries, as is Cedar Ridge Estates, it gives people the right to join ALA (ARROWHEAD LAKE ASSOCIATION) which then gives them the permission to use the lake. Living within Arrowhead Woods, property owners must be responsible and follow certain rules and regulations set by ARROWHEAD WOODS ARCHITECTURAL COMMITTEE. These rules are mainly set forth to protect our trees/forest.
The video below (click on virtual tour button) will give you a hint of the community. The homes you see in this tour are not necessarily for sale, but are instead examples of the lifestyle here in Cedar Ridge Estates. Enjoy.
