Chapala

If you’re not quite ready for condo living, Chapala is one of the best options in Oaks North.

This gated 55+ neighborhood offers single-level homes with more privacy, more outdoor space, and a quieter, more residential feel, all surrounded by the Oaks North golf course.

With just over 150 homes, Chapala feels more intimate and tucked away compared to other sections of Oaks North, while still giving you full access to the community’s amenities.

• Detached-style homes (condo ownership)
• Single-story layouts

These homes were built in the 1980s and are known for their vaulted ceilings, natural light, and spacious layouts.

What makes Chapala Unique?

Chapala is one of the only sections in Oaks North that gives you:

• A gated community feel
• Homes that live like detached properties
• Direct golf course surroundings
• More privacy than traditional condo neighborhoods

 It’s the closest thing to downsizing without feeling like you downsized.

Life in Chapala is quieter, more residential, and more relaxed. You’re surrounded by greenbelt and golf course views, with easy access to walking paths and the Oaks North Community Center. Think morning coffee on your patio, peaceful, tree-lined streets and a little more breathing room day to day.
