East Lake Village is the Yorba Linda neighborhood people ask about by name. It is a master-planned community built around a private 15-acre lake, and the lake shapes daily life here in a way no other part of the city can match.
What it's like
The homeowners association maintains the lake, pools, parks and landscaping, and runs a full calendar of community events. On weekends the lakefront is busy with families, and neighbors tend to know each other. If you want a quiet, private setting, other parts of the city will suit you better; if you want your kids to have a built-in community, this is the place.
Highlights
- Private lake for residents, with boating and fishing
- Pools, parks and a clubhouse maintained by the HOA
- Community events through the year
- Close to Yorba Regional Park and the 91 freeway
Homes
East Lake Village has a wide range of housing, from condos and townhomes to single-family homes, which gives it one of the broadest price ranges in the city. Homes directly on the water, known as East Lake Village Shores, are a distinct and more expensive group, and they rarely come up for sale.
What to know before buying
- HOA dues pay for the lake and amenities. Dues differ between tracts, and some homes belong to a sub-association as well as the master association, so ask for the full monthly figure.
- Low turnover. Owners tend to stay, so choice at any given moment can be limited.
- Lake access is for residents. It is a large part of what you are paying for.
