Lakeview Heights climbs the north side of the valley, and almost every street has a view of the water from somewhere. That makes it one of the most consistently sought-after neighborhoods we work in.

The lay of the land

The lower streets near the lake road are older and flatter, with larger gardens. The upper ridge has the newer, architect-designed homes and the widest views.

What a view is worth

In our sales over the past three years, an unobstructed lake view has added between 12 and 20 percent compared with a similar home one street back.
