We love sharing information about Lake Havasu City with others!

LAKE HAVASU CITY:
Most people recognize Lake Havasu City as the home of the London Bridge. Although this is true, Lake Havasu City is also a thriving community and a popular vacation destination. Lake Havasu City boasts over 50,000 residents. In Winter this number increases as "snow birds" flock to the city to enjoy the warm climate and escape the cold weather in their home towns. Others folks come to town to see the famous bridge, enjoy boating, off-road activities, hiking, fishing, golf, camping, scuba diving and more.
During
the Spring and Summer months, Lake Havasu City is a haven
for boaters who come to enjoy approximately 75 miles of
shoreline, beautiful scenery and camping beaches.
Aside from the Lake itself, Lake Havasu City boasts many amenities including golf, shopping, restaurants, medical/hospital services, industry, recreation, clean air, no traffic and fun! Across the Lake is a gambling casino. A shuttle boat runs from the Lake Havasu channel to and from the casino many times a day.
Lake Havasu City isn't too far from "big city life" either.

In the past few years, property values steadily increased in Lake Havasu City. Today, the market has leveled off. With inventory up, there are plenty of opportunities for those who are interested in relocating here or are thinking about purchasing a vacation or investment home. Aside from single family residences (including residential estates), lots are available, duplexes, condominiums, townhouses, commercial property and also manufactured homes/trailers in parks where you own your land.
Lake
Havasu City is steadily growing too. The construction
of a new shopping mall center is underway. Lowe's
home improvement store and The Home Depot are here.
A new planned community is being developed in the foothill
area and industry is growing.
The future looks bright for our resort community!
A BRIEF HISTORY:
In 1963, when Robert McCulloch bought a 26 sqare mile parcel in the desert of Arizona for less than $75.00 per acre, it was the beginning of what would be known as Lake Havasu City, Arizona.
Mr. McCulloch's
idea was to woo weary snow-bound folks from the East and
Mid-West into purchasing lots in the desert. Prospective
buyers were flown in on one of McCulloch's fleet of aircraft
and stayed in the Lake Havasu Hotel which was built specifically
for the prospective buyers.
In 1968, McCulloch bought the London Bridge from England. It took 3 years to prepare and in October 1971, the bridge was ready to span the Channel that was specfically dredged to accommodate it. Each year thousands come to see the Bridge and visit the quaint English Village shopping center at it's base.
