EastLake Shores
The lakeside village of EastLake I, with condominiums, townhomes and some houses from the late 1980s.
EastLake Shores is the lakeside village of EastLake I, with homes built circa 1987 to 1990. The housing is mostly attached, meaning condominiums and townhomes, with some single-family homes, and it is typically smaller than the detached houses in the neighboring villages.
Homes range from about 440 to 1,800 square feet, from studios to four-bedroom homes, so it is worth comparing individual communities, buildings and floor plans.

- The association. Ask which association covers the address and what its dues include, such as clubhouse, pool, lake or trail access.
- Special taxes. Ask for the property tax bill. A master-planned village can carry special taxes such as Mello-Roos on top of the base tax, and they are not limited by Proposition 13.
- Age of the home. The villages were built in phases, so roofs, heating and cooling, windows and water heaters are at different points in their life. A thorough inspection matters.
- The block itself. Walk the street at different times of day, and note parks, trails and traffic.
