Havasu Residents..

[waterwitch]

Hi there..
I was just curious of how many people are actrually
from Havasu that post on this forum.
(I realize this is not a Havasu forum)
Or do most people have summer homes here?
I was just curious.
Thanks
Traci:)

[Havasu_Dreamin]

Got a vacation home there now that will eventually be my dad's retirement home.

[TrojanDan]

Summer home??:confused: Hell, I use it Fall, Winter, and Spring too. :D Wish I can call it my full time home but since I make my living in CA, I just visit it at least every other weekend. I'm on the South side off So. McCulloch Blvd. :cool:

[Jdbuck]

We have a vacation home in Havasu, off of Kiowa and Havasupai. I love going up there year round, always lots to do or its just great to do nothing!

[phuggit]

We have a place off of Chenoweth. We get out there as much as we can.

[OGShocker]

We just bought a place through Warlock25 (the best!!) on Churchill Dr. We will be there a lot this year!

[Keith E. Sayre]

I live here full time down by the lake on Lockheed Bay off of
North Palo Verde and Aviation.

[phuggit]

Shadow,
Nah. We live on the other side of the tracks. We bought a lot at the Havasu RV Resort, which is on the north side of the 95.
Canterbury's are nice...congrats

[RiverPirate]

Use it on any weekend of the year that we can get up there. I never realized how nice Havasu is during the winter.-:)

[34MagicOnHavasu]

Hey OGShocker, if you're on Churchill, i'm right around the corner from you.
I'm on Osage, half way between churchill and oro grande. . .

[Jdbuck]

Shake, we have probably bumped into each other being so close in both states!! We are two streets up from Havasupai, right off Kiowa. Our place was built in Jan '02 and I am glad we did it when we did or we could not afford to buy right now!

[djunkie]

Escrow just closed on mine yesterday. Vacation home only though. Its on the south side up off of sunnyridge and Mohican. After its furnished I hope to be there at least twice a month.

[TIBURON]

[waterwitch]

I didn't realize how many people lived here,
full or part-time.
Well if you ever see this boat, come say hi.
I have lived here forever and I am always
looking forward to meeting new people.
Especially if you come with a beer!

Cool if you see my boat outside, stop by to say hello. I'm going to be taking a fridge out there to keep in the big garage, so hopefully it'll be fully stocked real soon.

[Mr.Havasu]

Live here full time since 2002, before that we were week enders since 2000, before that we were vacationers since the early seventies.
I sell Real Estate here now (did the same thing in CALIF for over 20 years) John Details Boats etc. We love it here!

[Ivan Dan]

I bought a place last year and LOVE going in the fall, winter and spring as well as summer. My place is on Wallingford off of Oro Grande and Saratoga. The pool is about 3/4's done and should be swimming in it in the next 2-3 weeks. CAN'T WAIT!!

[Sun burners]

I bought a house in HAVASU a couple years back,
Figured I would party untill they took it away!
I just broke ground on my second home being built just to my needs! Garage with a house attached!
HAVASU not just for boating!
Like others said there are things going on all year long!
The only down side is its about a 4hour drive!

[MRS FLYIN VEE]

we have a house on sheanwater and marlin .. just off bermuda..
we are there as much as possible.. even if we don't take the boat out.;)

[Krumbsnatcher]

I love my house, except for the losers that constantly are messing with my property. Just got a water bill for over $300, it seems some jackass decided to run my water over the weekend.
This was after 34MagicOnHavasu checked on my place.
Thanks Craig.

[Garrddogg]

That sucks! The biggest problem we ahve is the kids riding their bikes through the gravel front yard and leaving bike tracks.

[RP1]

Have a lot... start building late this year.

You got that right, i paid 8500 for the lot and it cost me 84500 to have the custom house built in 94. My neighbor sold his house which is smaller that mine and i have a better lake view with wooden floors and a fireplace (winter use only) He got almost 300 grand for it :eek:, Mine will be paid off in 12 years of sooner I just owe 65 on it now :D

[34MagicOnHavasu]

Well the garage is a deal breaker. Need at least 45' deep. But I am interested if you can remodel without any hassels from HOA or the like. Is it a nice place?

[welk2party]

How is the snow bird market out there? Anyone know?

[MRS FLYIN VEE]

it's an older house it's not new.. Michele can probably bring it up on the puter.. I know it sets back far and it has a huge front yard.. two houses down.. :D

[slowinhavasu]

uncle Larry,
You are doing worse than me for being semi retired.....
lets see, I work on roofs every day on air conditioners, you work in Todds house during the week,OH, and on the lake all weekend.....
what a life. :yuk:

[copperrat20]

Snow bird market is great. I didn't do it last year but this year for sure. I already got someone lined up to stay there. My neighbor says there is a list at the realtors office of people looking for fully furnished places.

That is the only way I can make the numbers work I think. Rent it out for half the year.

[MRS FLYIN VEE]

Originally posted by welk2party

i'm prety sure you can.. I don't think there is an HOA .. we don't have one.. so I assume there isn't.;)

[copperrat20]

welk2party, that house sounds like a pretty good deal. The house accross the street from mine is only a 1800sf. 3bd. 2ba. house for 269k. garage is only 32ft. deep. 2car 1rv garage.

[copperrat20]

Originally posted by welk2party

Well and you got to think, once you buy the place, and I didn't expect this to happen, friends talk to other friends and before you know it you got people calling you asking you when you aren't going to use the place so that they could rent it. Now I only rent to people I know that way I can trust them.

[welk2party]

Hey V, are you going this weekend? If so, can you let me know if it's still for sale? I might have to fly out there next week.
Copper...you may be right. My friends are always asking where to stay at the lake.

we are not going this weekend but I can ask Michele to bring it up (warlock 25) if you want me too. she's real good to everyone.. ;)

[copperrat20]

Yeah you'd be surprised. I didn't think that would happen but it did. I told my friends free and someone set up a house tip jar. Friends make sure they tell their other friends to leave a tip. I don't expect it but they leave money anyway. Normally for a group of four they leave like 300 bucks for the weekend.

[welk2party]

Same deal my friend had with his Bullhead river house. Everyone chip in for the house cleaner and all good. Around $300. Not bad for like 6 to 10 people.

And like memorial day when I didn't go- I rented it to my brother in law and his college friends for 1250 for three days. My payment is only 600. Shit can't do much better than that. I say buy it. Agreed I payed less for my place than you would pay for that.

[welk2party]

Hell yeah. What year is that house. All I can say about mine is I fell into this deal and got damn lucky.

[TCHB]

We have a second home in Havasu and spend a lot of time there year round. We had a place on the Parker Strip for a long time and sold out for Havasu.

[MRS FLYIN VEE]

I'm not sure what year it is but it is an older house.. ours is the new one on the block.

[copperrat20]

What street is it on?

I am going to do the opposite. I got some good equity in this place. So I wan't to wait until the end of the year, sell it to my sister and buy a place in the keys in parker.

our address is 165 and it is on the same side of the street. ;)
just before the culdesac;)

[copperrat20]

How did you know how much they wanted?

[MRS FLYIN VEE]

they had a flyer and I was nosey.. LOL!!someone picked one up from the house and put it on my counter.. :D

[copperrat20]

I don't know 215,000 sounds like alot for a shack to me but I will go take a look in a while. Now let me brag, my place is right behind carl's jr. on popago. it's great for all those got the munchies can't drive cause I'm too drunk nights. The only problems I have had is every time we go down we party and the cops show up. Problem number 2 is the construction accross the street is leaving a hell of alot of black marks in my brand new driveway. I asked them not to pull on the concrete with their trucks, to just pull on the rock drive that goes all the way to the backyard. So that is my bragging and bitching all together.

[MRS FLYIN VEE]

I wouldn't say it's a shack.. it's just not a new house.. ;)

I think what they are refurring to as a salt water pool is a salt chlorination system, They work great. What happens is you put a few bags of salt in your pool, [ about 4- 40 pound bags for a 15.000 gal. pool] When the system is running, it sends the water through a cell that has plates in it that looks like the plates in a car battery, there is a small elect. charge that go's through it and it turns the salt content to natural chlorine. And this type chlorine won't bleach out your swim wear or make your hair turn green. And it doesn't burn my eyes either, They say that the corect salt content in the pool is about the same that is in a human tear. My system works great. No bad smell's :D Here is a pic. of mine

[WaterBox]

I've lived here full time for about 10 years now. [ Love It.] Live over on Caribbean close to the golf course.:D
