Lake Van Ness Offers Private Lake Community Fresno, CA. 93711 If you want to look important, Lake Van Ness offers a private lake community in Fresno, CA. 93711 with security guards at the entrance.  This community is unique to Fresno with estate sized homes completely surrounded by a security gate and all of the homes have lake access off of their private docks.  This development is almost out of place in the central valley.  My last housing update in this community was back in May of 2011.  That report found that the four sales in 2010 averaged about $241 per sq. ft.  Since June of 2011, there have been four sales ranging from $181-263 per sq. ft. with the average being $222.  There may still be more of a dip in these home prices in the future as there are fewer people in the Fresno ar... 03/12/2012

Real Estate Market Watch Luxurious and Exclusive Gated Community Lake Van Ness, Fresno CA.  93711   Arguably the nicest and most exclusive gated community you will find around water in the Fresno area is Lake Van Ness.  Good luck getting into the community though because along with the fence and gates all around, there is a security booth at the main entrance staffed with personel.  Unless you have a legitimate reason for being there you probably won't get in without being very creative (I recommend bringing your Realtor).  When you view this neighborhood even from beyond its gates, you don't get the sense that this is Fresno.  It feels something more like a southern California or Bay Area community.  These homes range from 3,000-6,000+ sq. ft. on lots that are 12,000-17,000+ sq. ft.  T... 05/31/2011
