The Prescott Lakes Experience

The largest subdivision in Prescott is Prescott Lakes, which is also one of the most popular.  In this episode, we cover the dozen or so neighborhoods that make up Prescott Lakes, and we discuss what makes it one of our town's go-to destinations for incoming homebuyers.  (Spoiler Alert: There's a lot to like!)

well good morning good morning peeps this is randall and diane bro she’s thickly i am the pickle lady i’m the pickle i don’t know the pickle sidekick pickles he’s yeah he’s picking a sidekick correct he’s like a little gherkin i’m the pig i could say something else i’m not going to go down that that line it does make me giggle though but anyway here to talk about the biggest subdivision in olive prescott and very popular yes yes and we listen here what do we do it’s called prescott lake lakes it is a beautiful beautiful master-planned community there are nothing there are no ladies not in prescott lakes they’re the latest ones outside yeah people will say well you know i’d like i like the idea of this prescott lakes find me a house that is no um there are some golf traps there are some some water traps um but basically it’s called prescott lakes because it’s between uh borders watson lake and willow lake and both are really reservoirs they’re not really true lakes plastic reservoirs does not sound as nice correct so it’s kind of uh those are uh on the outside on the outskirts of prescott lakes yeah so we came here uh and we checked it out and we fell in love and it’s it’s a really cool concept it has about what 12 or 13 different neighborhoods yeah neighborhoods throughout so it’s not like um some communities where you go in and you most of the houses look the same and they’re cookie cutter and jim jim jim and they’re just pop pop pop pop pop street after street after street even if they’re custom homes they still all have kind of the same look yes uh you know the prescott prescott lakes is not that way well first of all back up a little bit people use the term subdivision in neighborhoods sort of interchangeably which you could do here if it weren’t for prescott lakes because in prison lakes the neighborhood is a subdivision of the subdivision it’s like a smaller little yes so there are about 1200 um homes 1300 homes and prescott lakes and uh the smallest neighborhood probably has something like uh 15 or 20 homes i think this one actually smaller than that and uh the bigger ones have maybe you know 50 or 75 homes and they’re all price ranges in prescott lakes they have everything they have some apartments they have condos they have beautiful town homes um and then they have all price ranges so uh you know in homes you can go anywhere from the high fours all the way to the millions and they’re all in different subdivisions there’s different neighborhoods so for instance and some are gated here in prescott lakes and some are not some are not that’s right um some are single levels smaller homes just all single level two beds some are multi-level and four thousand five thousand square feet some have you know upstairs downstairs some are built into the terrain some have flat lots it’s a really interesting area but what drives people here and they all love it is that uh we have this amazing golf course you’re not required to join golf so if you’re not a golfer you don’t have to pay for that but you get to enjoy the beauty of it it has a private restaurant at private exercise club clubs within the club uh so if you uh you can join the women’s club the bridge club the mahjong club the hiking club you name it there’s something here for everyone so if you are from out of town which a lot of people are they’re attracted to that and they’ve heard about prescott lakes because it’s a good place to move in and meet people right away who are in the same boat as you yeah nobody’s from here most of them are from out of town they don’t have family and it’s nice to quickly meet people it really is and no matter what neighborhood you’re in no matter what house town house condo you’re in everyone belongs to the same club and everyone belongs to the club so you know if you meet a neighbor and you say let’s meet at the club yep they’ll meet you at the club because they’re members of the same club that you are they’re like sure i’ll meet you over there and you can say or you know hey let’s go to that aqua size club exercise class that they’re having today do you want to go with me sure let’s go to the indoor pool because we have an indoor pool we have an outdoor pool yeah so do you play pickleball this is the place for you yeah at least six pickleball courts i think or something like that huge huge from beginners to you know um advanced they’re here yeah and so we love prescott lakes it’s been lovely uh it’s centrally located eight minutes to the square you’re close to grocery stores doctors i mean you cannot ask for a better location right in the heart of prescott proper and um so you can do as much or as little as you want with the social at the club we do a lot of socializing yeah we do we don’t do a lot of we have a lot of fun not a lot of working out how we do socialize but we do socialize and they make great cocktails good filled they give you a good a good pour yeah really good pour great great martinis great martinis yeah lots of good martini dinners yeah absolutely yeah so if you are investigating prescott lakes and you don’t understand i don’t get it that’s why it has prescott lakes is one giant umbrella and under that umbrella are many different assorted neighborhoods uh are each one has their own hoa as well yeah that’s right so people get confused they talk about the subdivisions say of astoria well astoria is one of the neighborhoods within the subdivision of prescott yes and yeah their homes have a very different look you might go down the street to another neighborhood and they have a totally different look you go down into the estates which are the bigger fancier homes and each one of those is a little more custom and a little different in uh in appearance so it’s it’s pretty interesting because it’s interesting that’s interesting you’re never going to be like every house looks the same in this entire community it’s uh it’s very unique and some have more trees than others some are more uh mature than others so it’s um so at this point you can find something for sure at this point by far the biggest subdivision we have in prescott and a very successful formula it’s a very small form you know people get plugged and played into the social scene uh i i think it’s it works pretty well here so a lot of people and we love it when we came here when we came to prescott i wanted land i wanted um i didn’t want to have a neighbor close by i could care less about a golf course or being in a gated community and uh when i found my home that was it i was like all of that went by the wayside and it was worth it to me uh to come here i was like this is it i love this house and i love the feel of this so never write it off uh you know keep an open mind keep an open mind because you may follow your mind open up to the possibility that you may not know offhand exactly what you’re looking for yeah but now that we’re here and we’re doing it it worked really well for us not in the least what we started out looking for not at all and we’ve met the nicest people and good good friends and uh we do hit the social life a lot with those people and we have some martinis yeah it’s good times good times all right so that’s our uh that’s our bid for today uh prescott lakes and subdivisions and neighborhoods and all that yes uh if you want more information about

Video Transcript

hello hello hello hey peace this is diane bro with my better half randall bro i don’t know if i’m better i’m just here well that’s true yeah he’s trying yes he’s a work in progress absolutely as we all are here in the canyon yes in prescott this is my all-time favorite neighborhood i adore it if i could i would be here in a heartbeat yeah absolutely uh it’s stunning so we have a very nice friend here phil who agreed to let us come film in his backyard so you can see what it’s like to live here yeah uh it’s just kind of get a little yeah a little view what’s going on here there you go just absolutely beautiful this is backyard but what we love about this is as you know i love the rocks the rocks are my thing uh this is actually actually in this home is built into the dells yes and the dells are a natural rock formation that can only be found in prescott wisconsin and germany that’s right and they are stunning and we don’t know how they form we don’t know how some special i mean other people know we don’t know we don’t know we’re not geologists yeah some yeah no we don’t know i’m not i am into the crystals and all that i do like that i wear my crystals a very very peculiar and bizarre uh process that created the special rock formations referred to as the as the delta but if you are lucky enough to build a home in here and live in here um we have a lot of questions people are like you know you’re surrounded by all this granite and rocks what about the radon radon yeah yeah radon radon is uh it’s a it forms naturally out of the rocks it’s like something to do with radioactivity and uh and all that kind of stuff it’s uh it’s only trace uh trace amounts so like if you don’t hear a whole lot about people hiking in the dells overcome by radon because it’s trace elements so you uh the the problem comes when you have a home that sort of captures the radon and holds it inside for very long periods of time because it’s a clear it it’s kind of a clear gas but here’s the thing it’s not a problem yeah at all uh yeah the very high tech uh eradication systems that they have for radon essentially it’s a fan you know you you you have built in so if you have a custom home and you are surrounded by rocks like this which some people have there’s a way to mitigate that problem yeah and you have a whole uh essentially you just need to circulate it so they’re gonna release it here yeah so they’ll put a pan on it which you need to be aware if you just put granite on your kitchen countertops guess what yeah there’s a radon coming radon comes off of that countertop it’s a natural thing that’s a natural in the environment what you want to have is not have it build up in your home yes but once you address that you mitigate it yes it’s a non-issue yeah so if you have a home that’s built into into the dells um it’s a good idea to have you know monitoring equipment to make sure that the concentrations aren’t building up correct and like i said your mitigation system is essentially a small fan that just kind of circulates the air around and keeps them keeps them low so it’s perfectly perfectly safe to build a home where you have that situation but most most places here in prescott do not um and that’s what i wanted to talk about too this is an unusual and exceptional case you know to be surrounded by these rocks it’s just it’s just stunning it’s a great place to be but not all neighborhoods are built in the dells here in brisket so there are a lot of other neighborhoods that the dells will be five miles away two miles away three miles away and people will say i need to have radon testing yeah you can you can you can you certainly can but but it’s not necessary if you live in a neighborhood like prescott lakes yeah you’re not going to have a radon issue yeah yeah you’re perfectly fine even though zillow will tell you that oh there’s been radon within a mile of this home within five miles of this home you know um not a big deal it’s not although we do have testing if you are still going to be testing yeah we could do we can arrange that testing runs about 125 and they set up the equipment and then you get your reading that says you’re perfectly fine yeah what they’ll do is they’ll put the they’ll put the monitoring equipment in place and generally they’ll seal the home basically don’t let anybody in and out for a few days and they’ll collect it that way so that’s pretty much what the testing is so we wanted to let you know if you’re in the heart of the of the rocks yeah that’s something you might want to consider you need to mitigate that easily done yeah then you can enjoy the beauty there’s a reason why the rocks give off energy people yeah they do have energy and they’re great that’s right it’s a good good god if you don’t live directly in the dells or you’re you know a mile or two away you’re going to be okay yeah but again if you wanted to don’t worry about what zillow says about radon yes don’t get i think zillow is a native american word that means mistaken i think zillow originally means mistake zillow yeah zillow a lot of things wrong on zillow that’s a whole nother pet peeve yeah i could be here all day talking about zombies zillow is just an estimation zillow is not fact always remember that they just kind of gather a few little things and spit it back out at you but you need to go by your local real estate agents yeah what’s going on in the market and what’s legit yeah absolutely yes so anyway here we are in the beautiful dells here of the canyons and we’re sitting at this cool hot tub but we’re not going to get in the hot tub yeah that way that wouldn’t be a good yeah that probably would be very professional but we thank you for joining us and where can they find you oh yes
