The 3000 homesites in the Silver Lakes plan are approximately half built out. New construction is proceeding at a steady pace. The Silver Lakes master plan includes provisions for shopping areas, parks and school sites. The community is presently served by the new Helendale Elementary School, and Riverview Middle School. A 40-acre high school site has been designated for future construction.
All underground facilities are in and paid for.
The community water system has recently been upgraded with the addition of new wells pumping from the underground Mojave River aquifer to two new 2.5 million gallon storage tanks. A modern sewage system with off-site treatment plant recycles water to irrigate area farms and the Silver Lakes golf course. Fire protection is provided from a new fire station operated by the Division of Forestry, with two engines and one rescue vehicle. Police protection is provided by the San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department and there is a private 24-hour Security Patrol maintained by the Silver Lakes Association. There are two shopping plazas located within the community, one on South Lake Plaza and the other at the Vista Road entrance.
