Community guide
North Pointe in Lake Havasu City: a buyer's guide
North Pointe is a gated community for people who want their toys inside and their errands close. Garage size is the headline here, and it differs a lot from one home to the next.
Short answer
North Pointe is a gated community on the north side of Lake Havasu City, in the 86404 ZIP code, close to shopping and the north-side launch ramps. It is known for homes with deep RV and boat garages, some 60 feet or more. Garages are not uniform, though. The same community has homes with a standard 20-foot garage and gated side parking. Recent listings show HOA dues of about $285 a quarter.
Where it is
North Pointe is on the north side of Lake Havasu City in the 86404 ZIP code. Listings describe it as close to the mall, grocery stores and boat ramps. Lake Havasu State Park at Windsor Beach is the main north-side ramp.
Homes and lots
Homes in recent listings were built from the mid-2000s through the late 2010s, and new homes continue to appear. Lots in those listings ran from about 6,500 square feet to about 9,600 square feet.
That is smaller than the estate lots in Havasu Foothills Estates, which means less yard to keep up. For a part-time owner that can be a plus.
Garages and storage
This is what North Pointe is known for. Examples from recent listings show the range:
| Example home | Garage described in the listing |
|---|---|
| Built 2018, about 0.22 acre | Double RV garage 29 feet wide with 57-foot and 77-foot bays, plus a two-car garage and a 10-foot rear door |
| Built 2007, about 0.15 acre | Standard garage about 20 feet deep with an 8-foot door, plus gated side parking 8 to 10 feet wide |
Two homes with the same community name can be completely different for someone with a 40-foot motorhome. Get the door opening, the clear depth and the lowest point inside measured before you travel. See how to judge an RV garage.
On lots this size, a long garage takes up much of the depth. Look at what is left for a backyard, and whether a pool is already there or could fit.
Amenities
North Pointe is about the homes and the gate, not a clubhouse. Many homes have their own pool and outdoor living space. If shared amenities matter to you, compare it with Viewpoint Estates.
HOA and rules
Recent listings show dues of about $285 a quarter. Ask what they cover, and ask for the rules on parking outside the garage. Many owners here keep everything inside, and the rules may expect that.
The guide to HOA and PUD questions lists what to read.
What buyers compare it with
- Havasu Foothills Estates, for large garages on much larger lots, farther from the water.
- The Refuge and Viewpoint Estates, for other gated north-side options with more shared amenities.
- A no-HOA home with an RV garage, for similar storage with fewer rules and no gate.
