WELCOME TO THE LAKE COMMUNITY OF EASTCHESTER SINCE 1940 - INTERLAKEN OWNERS!
Imagine waking up to the sound of birds singing. Stroll down to Lake Innisfree and enjoy the cooling breeze while chatting with friends. There isn't a more relaxing place to meet with neighbors or curl up with a good book. With so many acres of property, there is plenty of room to create your own private haven.
As an Eastchester resident, you're just minutes from the Town of Eastchester's beautiful Lake Isle Country Club where you're eligible for membership. Swimming, golf & tennis with individual, family & senior membership levels are available annually. Lake Isle is also home to two outstanding restaurants & catering facilities, Gigante & Mulino's at Lake Isle.
Public tennis courts & larger playgrounds are within walking distance. If you enjoy walking or running, the track at Eastchester High School provides a safe and comfortable environment.
Eastchester is a wonderful place to call home!
Shareholders enjoy a private beachfront at Lake Innisfree (Reservoir #1) which provides opportunities to swim, sail/row, fish or just relax in the sun or under the shade trees. The Lake season is from Memorial Day to Labor Day. Sailboats, rowboats & kayaks arepermitted. For an annual fee, boats can be stored on racks at the waterfront.
Safety is our #1 priority at the Lake . All shareholders & their guests must sign in with the gate attendant. Boaters must wear floatation devices at all times. Swimming is not permitted unless a lifeguard is on duty. The Lake Rules are posted at the entrance gate & sent to each shareholder household each Spring.
Numerous upgrades have been made in recent years to the common grounds, as well as the Lake front, picnic area, and playgrounds.
