Five Knolls Community Amenities and Local Conveniences

The amenities are quite nice and pretty much what you might expect in a newer community. We love the Butterfly Knoll and hiking trails, connecting the upper and lower portions of the community.

The private, residents only Clubhouse is called "The Club" and is located at the ungated portion of Five Knolls. Residents enjoy a terrific swimming pool, hot tub, clubhouse, playground, barbecues and a sport court. The swimming pool is gorgeous. It's a large pool that has been nicely designed and there's plenty of room for lap swimming or fun and games. Then, the Club House is amazing and it's obvious the residents thoroughly enjoy their resort styled amenities.

Pool and Hot Tub in the Five Knolls Community

Honestly, we would have liked to have seen a second recreation center within the gated neighborhoods however we also noticed many of the larger homes either already have their own pool or there's often enough room to have a pool installed.

Yes, we really like these amenities but they do come with monthly HOA dues. The costs vary so if planning to buy it's very important to verify the amount before making an offer.

Golden Valley Public Park

Residents have easy access to the new, Golden Valley Public Park situated at the bottom edge of the community. It includes a covered picnic area, a dog park, playground, basketball court, restrooms, trails and an expansive greenbelt. The dog park really is a nice touch and includes two separate fenced areas, one for larger dogs and another for the little guys. There's plenty of room for the dogs to run and play without residents having to worry about them breaking loose and running amuck! We also noticed, there are some nice shade trees and benches so the dog's owners can chat and visit while the dogs are having their fun.
