Prescott Lakes: An Established Benchmark
Prescott Lakes is a master-planned golf community in north Prescott that has set the benchmark for resort-style living in the area since the 1990s. The community surrounds the Prescott Lakes Golf Club, an 18-hole championship course, and features gated enclaves with a mix of single-family homes, patio homes, and custom lots.
The community's amenities — golf, clubhouse dining, fitness center, tennis, and pool — give it a genuine resort feel. The homes range from smaller patio homes in the low $500s to custom estates well above $1 million, depending on lot position and views. Backing to the golf course adds a significant premium.
What Prescott Lakes is not is new construction. The overwhelming majority of available homes are resales — meaning you're buying someone else's design decisions, finishes from 15 to 30 years ago, and a home that has accumulated the wear that comes with time. Some are beautifully maintained and updated. Others are priced for the address while needing significant investment.
Buyers who come to me having toured Prescott Lakes frequently ask: "Is there anything comparable but brand new?" That's where Capstone Homes' Prescott communities come in. Granite Dells Estates and Hidden Hills offer the same premium Prescott address, custom-quality finishes you chose yourself from the Design Center, and a full builder warranty — at prices starting from $949,900.
