• Chandler’s Waterfront Lots: Rare Finds, Big Value

    You can find plenty of homes in Chandler. But a true waterfront lot? That’s another story. With only a handful of vacant parcels directly on the water, Chandler’s waterfront land is among the scarcest and most desirable in the Valley. Here’s why these rare lots are worth your attention.

    1. There Are Only a Few Left At the time of writing, there are just 7 to 8 active waterfront lots available in all of Chandler. That’s not a typo. We’re talking vacant land with water access—not existing homes. If you want to build from scratch on the water, this is one of your last chances.

    2. Why It Matters Waterfront property isn’t just about views and lifestyle. It’s about long-term value. Scarcity drives demand, and demand drives price. Builders and custom home clients are watching these few parcels closely. Once they’re gone, they’re gone.

    3. Chandler’s Top Waterfront Communities

    • The Springs: A peaceful canal-side community with mature landscaping and neighborhood charm.
    • Ocotillo Lakes: Known for wide waterways, scenic backyards, and an active HOA maintaining lake quality.
    • Fulton Ranch (The Island): Possibly the crown jewel. Think private lakes, gated luxury, and yes—the builder himself lives here.

    4. Should You Build or Buy? Building offers customization and new construction warranties, but you’ll need time, financing, and patience. Buying a finished home means instant lifestyle and often lower overall cost. But you’ll compete with other buyers just as hungry for that lake view.
