Lake Arrowhead: California's Alps The 2006 Winter Olympics have riveted Americans with the awesome vistas of the Italian Alps. If you're one of the many people who have added the Alps to their list of destinations to visit someday, take heart. There are places closer to home that offer those same stunning vistas. One such place, in fact, is a short drive from Los Angeles, in San Bernardino county: Lake Arrowhead, California. Lake Arrowhead has been called “California's Alps.” While the people of this community have all of Southern California's famous warmth, the mountains, the pine trees, and the climate are totally alpine. Snowy but mild winters make for some of the West Coast's best skiing. In the summer, Southern Californians escape here to swim or canoe in the lake and breathe in the mountain valley's cool, clean air.

Many people in tight real estate markets are finding that such places offer a unique opportunity for owning and investing in real estate.

In addition to any possible appreciation of the property value, renting can provide investment income. In the Lake Arrowhead real estate market, you can rent not only to long-term tenants, but also to vacationers at higher vacation rates.
