Welcome to The Shores at Rainbow Lake in Pinetop-Lakeside, Arizona

The Shores at Rainbow Lake is a quiet, exclusive, private, gated residential community located on the eastern shore of the 110 acre Rainbow Lake in Pinetop-Lakeside, Arizona. It is the most unique and beautiful community in the White Mountains, and the only community in Arizona with lakefront lots.

 

Common areas are well landscaped and well maintained. A beautiful feature is the dual waterfall on the west side of Rainbow View Drive about halfway into the community.  The community CC&Rs and Architectural Rules allow building of superior quality and consistency with our beautiful mountain environment. Much thought and care has gone into making sure that the natural beauty of our community will be protected.

 

Our community has three boat docks that provide owners and their guests access to Rainbow Lake. The biggest motor allowed on the lake is 9.9 HP so there is no fast boating and the lake is quiet and peaceful. Most homeowners with lake frontage have their own private docks with fishing or pontoon boats. There is a tennis & pickleball court and a basketball court available for the homeowners and their guests, and a Ramada with seating for 48 people.

 

The community is socially active with Thursday afternoon happy hours at the Ramada, community groups, Ladies Luncheons, and holiday parties like our July 4th Regatta.

 

The main entry to the Shores is located just south of the intersection of White Mountain Blvd and Neils Hansen Lane. There are 188 residential lots, sixty-one of which have lake frontage. 24 of the lots are in a section of the community called Rainbow Cove, a group of attached homes with its own private park area and dock.

 

This site is designed to provide homeowners easy access to community information, provide information for visitors, and to give those interested in moving to our community a good feel for what life in Arizona's White Mountains can be.
