I saw a house on http://www.ziprealty.com (I’m on that ALL THE TIME) in Harveston, which looked nice…it that Mediterranean/tower lookB..anyway, my husband and I drove up (we are renting in Redhawk right now) and I thought it looked like a GHETTO.

I hope I’m not offending anyone who lives there, but the lots are SOOOOO SMALL. Like 3000 and 4000 sq feet. So, there are “McMansions” sitting on top of each other, on tiny lots.

The “lake” is not very large and I dont think you can even take a boat on it.

Personally, I wouldnt live there. It just feels too cramped.

I have lived in Harveston for 2 years. The location in relation to the amenities of Temecula is second to none. The lake/pond is decent. Most people that congregate there are cool, but sometimes you have these low lifes, and those who think its a great place to fish? Thats not to say that homowners don’t have a bit of an ego because they live here. There is a bit of an elitist attitude that a few residents radiate IMHO, kinda like Morgan Hill.

Taxes are high, around 2% and hoa is over 130. This makes it expensive to live here. Most lots are very small here. The bigger homes have bigger lots, especially the subdivisions that have single stories, those lots tend to be bigger. The lot I’m on is about 6500sqft, but you can find a few over 10,000sqft like so.

The parks, paths, pool, and clubhouse are all nice. After happily renting here for 2 years, I probably wouldn’t buy here for the reasons above. I want a bit more privacy. The lennar homes in here have great floorplans, and lots of extras. There are lots of foreclosures, and IMHO many more to come.

I’m somewhat surprised that the City of Temecula allowed Harveston to be built.

For one thing the congestion on that side of town is pretty bad, and it is the epitome of a ultra high density primarily SFR community.
