Ocotillo home on the golf course
Though it might seem counter-intuitive to seek homes with water views in the middle of the Sonoran Desert, that's just what you'll find in Ocotillo. This gated Chandler community winds through 167 acres of man-made lakes, creating an oasis-liken haven that's unmatched anywhere else in the southeastern Valley of the Sun.
Whether you're seeking your dream house on the Ocotillo Golf Course or are considering selling your existing Ocotillo home, Realtor ReMax Cathy Carter can help. With two decades of experience in the Ocotillo, Chandler, Gilbert, Sun Lakes and Ahwatukee real estate markets, Cathy and her team know the local market inside and out, and she'll help you get the best deal for your needs.
It's not hard to understand why Ocotillo homes are so popular. This desirable community sits at the southwestern edge of Chandler. Conveniently located near the Loop 101 and the Loop 202, the two major highways in the region, Ocotillo is just a short drive away from all of the metropolitan amenities of Phoenix, Tempe, Scottsdale, Chandler, and Gilbert, but due to careful master planning, the community still retains that small-town feel.
Just over 77,500 people call Ocotillo home, and residents in this highly educated, affluent town enjoy a high standard of living that's not matched in many other parts of Arizona. Established in 2001, homes in Ocotillo range from one-story houses with plenty of room for families to spread and grow to luxurious homes featuring lakefront water views and golf course access. Ocotillo is a desirable location for professionals, families and retirees alike, and it has something to offer all of its residents.
Ocotillo's chain of meandering lakes are open to boaters and are populated by some fish species, such as tilapia, bluegills, and smallmouth bass, as well as blue herons, ducks, geese and even a pelican or two. The interconnected lakes are surrounded by thoughtfully landscaped grounds ranging from stunning desert landscapes to lush green spaces perfect for a picnic or a stroll. Representing the best in village living, it's easy for Ocotillo residents to get out and enjoy nature without even leaving the neighborhood! Ocotillo's developments are crisscrossed by paths and trails perfect for biking, walking and jogging, while parks, green spaces, and green belts offer a welcoming backdrop for a game of Frisbee, catch or a bar-be-cue at one of the community's many covered ramadas and playgrounds.
Then there's the golf. There's a reason why Ocotillo is known as a golfer's paradise; the community features an 27 hole, championship golf course created by the acclaimed designer Ted Robinson. A few of the Ocotillo Golf Course's many awards include Golf World's Top 50 golf resorts, the AGM Platinum Award, and Golf Digest's Top 100 Places to Play List. But it's not just the course itself that gets all the recognition; the Ocotillo Golf Course's Golf Shop has made Golf World's list of Top 100 Golf Shops three times, while the course's acclaimed eatery, Bernard's Restaurant, was the recipient of Arizona Foothills Magazine's Best 19th Hole Award for three years running.
Ocotillo's younger set is served by the highly ranked Chandler Unified School District, which consistently receives "A" grades from the Arizona Department of Education. Ocotillo is just a short drive from Tempe, home of Arizona State University. Chandler's downtown offers a historical main street shopping district, complete with eateries, galleries, and entertainment venues, as well as the Snediger Sports Complex, which features baseball and soccer fields as well as basketball courts.
Whether you're seeking a house on the lakeshore or an Ocotillo home on the golf course, Ocotillo's got it!
