Four Seasons At Terra Lago

We have lived in Terra Lago for 11 years. We have raised our kids here and have loved it. It feels like a resort - returning home to our neighborhood is always a peaceful experience. The sidewalks and parkways throughout the neighborhood make our walks enjoyable. Our kids like to ride their bikes to various grassy areas with sidewalk pathways. There are several benches and picnic tables in the neighborhood where we can take a break and have a snack. It is beautiful to walk around the lake and look for turtles and water birds. Watching the sunset/moonrise from the bridge is also beautiful! It is nice to fish from time to time, but we are not very good at it. The fish have teased us plenty of times and have only let us catch release them maybe twice. We also love going to the park and the pool. The tot pool has helped our kids get comfortable in the water from a young age. It is nice to have access to the heated pool and hot tub. The kid room in the gym makes going to the clubhouse a family outing. We will sometimes stop-in for a game of ping-pong or billiards in the clubhouse on our way home from the park. This year we bought a couple of kayaks. It is relaxing to get out there on the lake and fun to pass under the bridge. When we moved to the desert I never thought we would get to live in a neighborhood with a lake right down the street. It has been a blessing to live in such a beautiful place.

We have been residents for over 10 years. Terra Lago is a very beautiful community with a man made lake. It's an all age community with a beautiful golf course nearby, but outside the gates. You can fish, boat or kayak on the lake. It has a beautiful clubhouse and gym. The downside to the community is that they allow short term rentals with no restrictions. There must be hundreds of houses that are rented out. Although it's very quiet during the week, the weekends are very loud with parties going on to the early morning hours. In my opinion, because so many houses are rentals, there isn't much of sense of community anymore. The HOA is very strict, which is good on one hand as it keeps the community very nice. But fines are handed out for quite alot of dolifferent reasons. It is a beautiful community though, so depending on what you find important, this could be a great place for you!

I rented a Casita here in the Cristallo Ryland tract from June 2020 to August 2020. The community has many attractive qualities and the atmosphere and vibe is excellent.

We are original owners in Terra Lago, so we experienced the Short Sale turnover shortly after buying here. That was approximately 10 years ago... prices are recovering, we really enjoy the wonderful sense of community in Terra Lago, We have community events that bring us together, so you really do get to know your neighbors, yes even borrow a cup of sugar and/or offer to help a neighbor in need of a favor. There are events for adults and children alike. Our community is diverse, we have families, singles, retirees, snowbirds, vacation and long term renters. Terra Lago is gated with roving patrols, we Enjoy a Beautiful 20 acre lake with boating, kayaking, fishing, boathouse to store your kayak/pedal boat for a reasonable fee. Our Clubhouse is Beautiful and Spacious, offers convenient onsite friendly management, 24 hour access fitness center (with a playroom for the kiddos!) There is a banquet room with a catering kitchen for private parties and our social functions. Billiard, ping pong game rooms, conference room, lobby area with fireplace! We have rented out the banquet room several times for our personal use,(Daughter's engagement, birthday celebrations) it's very convenient, the views are gorgeous and the kitchen is convenient for either catered our for your own food prep/storage. There are lots of open spaces for miles of walking right within our community while enjoying our lovely lake & mountain views. Our HOA rules are on the stricter side, such as keeping up with yard, tree trimming, trash bins need to be brought in behind your gate, no overnight parking on the streets without prior approval, no visible advertising on vehicles left on driveway, RV parking is allowed for 72 hours on the street for loading/unloading, most of our rules seem to be inline with neighboring HOA communities and they don't bother us, we have never been fined in all the 10 years living here :). We are close to shopping, dining, medical, Fantasy Casino for great concerts, comedy club and great dining options! Patton park is within walking distance for lighted tennis & basketball court and new dog park (opening Jan 2017). Someone else commented in their review of... A Del Webb feeling... I must agree (we own a home in Sun City Shadow Hills, as well... we get the best of both worlds in Terra Lago a lovely community, amenities and our grand kids are welcome with no 60 day per year limitations, can use the pool without limitations either. HOA dues are currently at $269.00 includes cable w/some movies/golf channel, plus Fios Internet. Our property taxes are on the higher side since we have Mello Roos but don't let that deter you, look into it and see what you get for your money in Terra Lago we feel it's worth the quality of homes and lifestyle.
